    That's Suvorov's thesis: that Barbarossa worked so well because the Red Army was deployed for offense, not defense. He is reviled as a conspiracy theorist, just in case you don't know.

      the conspiracy is that the Soviets were planning an offensive posture when they were not. but things would've gone better if the Soviets had attacked

      although 'planning' is a bad word, like obviously they'd drawn up some provisional plans but they were not adopted
