I suspect there would've been a very different outcome had Germany been able to focus her entire resources on one front.

This is my opinion as an amateur military history buff anyway.
No army has been successful in fighting in Russia.

I agree that had Hitler kept to one front at a time, we would be on Mars by now and spatzle would be everyone's national dish.
