What if Hitler hadn't stopped in Greece?

Hello readers of the Velvet Vision.Today i will start my historical column with this article about the World War II.
We are all aware that the battle of Moscow ,taking place from 1941 to 1942, was a turning point in the Eastern Front. After this event the Stalingrand Battle took place and it meant the first large scale defeat for the Germans.
All these are well known historical events that happened but in this article I speak about what could have happened back then. Many people claim that the ''delay'' of the German Army in Greece essentially gave Stalin the time to prepare his defence better and even more helped in the time in which the Germans approached the USSR capital.
It is also well known that what happened to Napoleon happened to Hitler also when he came so close to Moscow. It was very critical that the winter started....the heavy russian winter started, just days before the final siege of Moscow. That as we all know gave Russians the advantage of being more accustomed to the heavy weather and thus crushed Hitler's forces on Staligrand on 1942 and many believe that all this...the actual defeat of the German merarchies on the Eastern Front comes from their delay on Greece.
I will now get to the actual point of my article....what if the Italians had easily took over Greece and Hitler got to Moscow before the heavy winter. Well then I think basing my speculation on historical opinions that Hitler would have take the USSR capital, maybe he could eliminate Stalin and take the petrol he wanted by having all of the USSR european territory in his 3rd Reich.
The elimination of USSR would lead to the collapse of the Eastern Front for the allies and then the Germans could easily take England also because their forces would get all assemled in the big island.
This was my speculation...that the Germans would have taken over the entire Europe if they hadn't been delayed in Greece...so you can see that I am with those who say kudos to Greece for holding up for more months. But in the end of the day hopefully for all of us leaving today Hitler lost and the speculation I wrote in this article isn't an actual historical event.
