| Dopleganger..........Germany never had the manpower to control the whole of Russia, they could not even control the Partisan behind their lines regardless of what the did to the civilian population. Their are German reports of them driving for days across the Russian plains and seeing any thing, no roads, no buildings, no people. Now just how do you control an area like that.
With the Germans having to keep large forces in the areas that they had all ready conquered through out Europe plus their adventure in North Africa, Greece and the Balklands. Also they then had to keep a million people in Germany in the later years to protect the Germany from the air assault, so Hitler would never have the man Power to all of this.
Yes a more concentrated effort on from the U Boats on blockade of Britain would have had a profound effect, but Hitler and Admiral Reader did not have enough U Boats to implement this, and by the time they had started to build up the U Boat fleet, Britain had developed many counter measures and were reading the German orders as quick as the Germans could write them
