Seriously, though, the USSR reamed Germany a new asshole without much help from the US.
Contrafactual specualtion is always fun, and the Germans could certainly have won in the East if just some small details had changed, especially in 1941. For example if the rains had been smaller, thw winter milder, or if they'd had tracked supply vehicles. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
'41 is a different story. Still, Russia is a big place, and there were plenty of divisions in Siberia.

And speaking of the armaments, the greatest German production of armaments was during 1944, partly because of Speer's organizational genius and partly because it took years and years until Germany adopted the total mobilization of society for war, as the Allies and Soviets had been doing from the beginning. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
After Pearl Harbour the US hulls stopped using the star banner and instead started flying the hammer and sickle to avoid attacks from the Japanese, whick is kinda LOL. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
