For those in the legal profession, failing to get a single grand jury indictment is a serious embarrassment.
Embarrassing enough that in the past it nearly always resulted in them being fired/resigning.
Six failures to indict is unbelievably unheard of. It shows so much incompetence that it’s hard to comprehend.
Even if Germany succeeded at Stalingrad and captured the Caucasus, there was no way Germany would have been able to maintain it. The entire campaign was doomed for failure.
The oil fields were sabotaged well in advance and weren’t able to produce notable amount for a good 6-9mo after. Allies had plans to bomb the crap out of them as well. Russia moved the majority of their industry further inland prior to the German’s arrival.
Put simply: Germany didn’t have the population or production capacity to win. It just wasn’t feasible. Could they have won “politically”? I suppose, but that’s like asking if Allied leadership would have sued for peace, which based on the personalities is pretty damn unlikely.
