1) NO
2) The Germans had lost the war in the east in august 1941,the fall of Moscow would have no impact .
I have always believed that the fall of Moscow would have been more detrimental to the Germans than the Russians as it would have left Army Group Centre a massive salient to defend through the winter with Army Group North back at Leningrad and Army Group South at Kiev.
The result could lead to Moscow becoming AGC's Stalingrad.
The Germans had lost the chance to win the war against Britain at the end of june 1940 when Britain decided to continue the war :all Britain had to do was to continue the fighting till the intervention of the US and than it would be over for Germany .
Not so sure about this (it is after all purely speculative) but had Germany knocked Russia out early enough I m not sure a US/Anglo invasion of Europe would have been possible against a full strength German Army.
Germany still could not have crossed the channel nor the Atlantic so in the end it may well have become a stalemate.
