What if: Germany responded to espionage indicating of likely Soviet attack in summer 1941 by
postponing/revising Barbarossa.
Summary: When the Soviet attack on Germany begins on July 6, 1941, the Germans are ready. After
two days of Germany soaking up and pounding the attacking force, they counterstrike with
better air support, better organized logistics, and Rommel leading a force through the
Pripet Marshes.
