Lets assume for a moment everything had gone well for Germany during the first part of 1941 and they had invaded Russia on schedule (6 weeks sooner than actually happened), lets also assume that Hitler had stayed out of the running of the campaign and not diverted large resources south:
1) Could they have captured Moscow before the winter set in?
2) If yes could they have held it through the winter of 1941.
It is my belief that the answer would have been yes they could have taken it but they could not have held it and in the end it may have been Stalingrad on a huge scale with significant Russian forces North and south of Moscow.
