Not the point.
The more I look at the over all tactic of Hitler's Nazis, the fatal flaw in his tactic is that he more often than not thought that by expanding, you could simply take over the defeated's resources. I think the main reason Barbarossa failed, was because once he invaded, he didn't have enough supplies or time to utilize the captured territory's resources.
The real reason for war are strategic control over resources. If you don't have enough supplies and bad planning, you might have initial success, but wont have the time to take advantage of what you capture.
