always wondered that, if the allies had been thrown back, what a disaster.
The Russians would still be too stong, but I could imagine all the tactical options, with Hitler and OKH drooling! All those troops and equipment! Redeployment of a large number, especially the mobile divisions would have certainly started almost immediately. All those crack SS Divisions and other experienced divisions, probably near or at full strength, heading east just before bagraton was launched. Could have arrived just in time to prevent collapse of army group centre.
