Eastern front animation: 1941

In the summer of 1941, the German army was the strongest in Europe and, using its advantage, intended to defeat the USSR in a three-month lightning campaign. On the other hand, the USSR was preparing for a protracted war and had a powerful war economy, but the modernization and expansion of the Red Army was taking place on the fly, and its methods and organization had not yet been fully tested in combat. Can the Wehrmacht defeat the USSR before it recovers, or can the USSR hold out until its long-term advantages begin to have a significant impact on the course of the war?
