I agree that Stalin was little better than Hitler was, and that is why I think the Nazis would beat the Soviets. Overall, Hitler had enough people like Rommel to make up for the lack in leadership skill and Stalin was more feared by his men than Hitler was can backfire on him. Such as when Hitler makes a mistake, his men did (unsuccessfully) try to correct him or alieviate the damage a little bit. With Stalin, on the other hand, his men are two scared to even correct his mistakes a little bit. And even though he made less mistakes overall, there still is the other reasons why the Nazis could defeat him if it was just them vs. the USSR.
