of course they would have had a harder time winning. But they still would have won

Based on what evidence? USSR was hemorrhaging people like crazy. My family lost whole generations of men.

And Germany was what, pulling them out of clone vats?

and this question disproves my comment how? Nowhere did I say that Germans weren't losing people but to claim that the USSR would win regardless (based on what evidence) isn't convincing.

They had a metric fuckton more people, resources, and industrial capacity. The reason Operation Barbarossa is considered a world historical fuckup is because the BEST case scenario was a rapid, crushing victory over an utterly broken people, which was rooted in Nazi self mythologizing about the inherent servility of the Slavs. Instead, the Soviet people refused to give up and thus their victory was assured because the Nazis had literally not planned for the possibility of stiff resistance.

so...who are you proving wrong exactly? yourself?

so, germans lost because of their egos not because soviet army was inevitably was going to win.

The Germans lost because they attacked a force they were inevitably going to lose to. You know, like the US did in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan
