@GoodBoyUV @Punished_Potatus @NailBomb i think we've mentioned this before, but although the eastern front was undone by treachery, the greatest victories of the war (the great battles of encirclement in center and south in summer/fall 1941) were also made possible by the same treason. the intelligence that stalin got about german plans was the officers' version, and then when hitler recovered from his dysentery he countermanded those orders and there was a return to his original plan. that caught the soviet command flat-footed and their armies were destroyed. this could never be faked or recreated, since it required the verifiable and reliable traitors to seemingly transmit 100% wrong intelligence, which they hadnt really done before and obviously would never intend on doing
