Doubt it that was that simple. And that myth that Hitle was incompetent commander.. just look it like this. His generals were later more or less in service for US army. Of course they will say that it was all Hitlers fault and not theirs, and those mistakes that he maybe made are exagerated.
Hitler knew that he needs moar oil to fuel his war machine, but only place where it was enough of it was Caucasus so he went all in there, do or die, turns out it was not posible, but not many choices at that point.
At least those are my conclusions from all shit that i read and heard.
