I think it is in Guderians bio as it was him who told AH that the RU had
that many tanks. AH didn't believe him.

I'm sure you are right, even if I've not seen that quote, nor it's
context. He also said that he did not want war in 1939, among many other
things.
Chapter 14 of mein kampf doesn't leave very much to the imagination as
to what his ambitions were, though.
But I guess that if Hitler had known all that we do now, he would not
have not have attacked Poland over Danzig in the first place.

Hakon, I got an excellent idea on how to avoid a super-Balbo in your games: allow stuffing. Thios solves it at one stroke. Actually, it is a bit pointless to...

But let's think about what exactly the CW could do if Germany simply maintained a defensive posture and didn't DOW Russia. If the US doesn't come into the...
By maintaining the blockade, as well as their patience, the Brits could do to Hitler the same they did vs Napoleon. Simply wait him out. Sooner or later, he...
Everybody (the Allies, the Germans and the Russians themselves) thought that RU was finished 3 weeks into B. GE considered this likely before they set out....

I caught this discussion a bit on the tail side and have been going through the archive looking for a definition of Super Balbo. Can somebody just redefine it...
Super-Balbo is a term that was first created on the MWiF forums that is used to describe an all out attack on Russia in 1941, preferrably by all 3 axis powers....
Fearfull strategy : I don't know how to counter that, maybe a russian depth defense, no stuffing at the border. The allies can send all the BPs they can to...
