On October 2, 1941, the Germans begin their surge to Moscow, led by the 1st Army Group and Gen. Fedor von Bock. Russian peasants in the path of Hitler’s army employ a “scorched-earth” policy. Hitler’s forces had invaded the Soviet Union in June, and early on it had become one relentless push inside Russian territory. The first setback came in August, when the Red Army’s tanks drove the Germans back from the Yelnya salient. Hitler confided to General Bock at the time: “Had I known they had as many tanks as that, I’d have thought twice before invading.” But there was no turning back for Hitler—he believed he was destined to succeed where others had failed, and capture Moscow.

If Hitler had let his generals run the war things might not have turned out as they did.

He had by that time been so hooked on his own propaganda ,and his Dr.'s treats, that he was nearly feeble without those gold packets.
Even the D-Day invasion beginning to land was not forwarded to him because he was asleep and left orders not to be disturbed. And no one dared wake him from his sleep. He was that unpredictable and madness was set in by then.

Napoleon conquered Moscow. Then he walked home during the Winter. Most of his Army was lost to the weather. Frostbite and freezing to death in the outdoors.
Der fukker had stalled the invasion in order to level a city in reprisal to the murder of one of his commanders.
Had he invaded in the Spring , instead of midSummer , ... those 2 months delay doomed him.
