But yeah it doesn't matter because they wouldn't have had enough oil anyway as you say. > Lots of people talk about what would have happened if Hitler had tried to take Moscow instead of deciding to drive south towards Baku Had the USSR not supplied Germany with massive amounts of oil and other raw materials during 1939 and '40 (which they did for some bizarrely deranged reasons), that likely wouldn't have been a problem in the first place. After Poland, Germany only had enough fuel to last a few months, so it would've been very hard for them to successfully invade Norway and France without Stalin bankrolling them..
