back to @nitrrogen__'s postsThe land the Germans captured had 40% of population and grain and around 60% of industrial materials. It was a disaster for the USSR. However, the Soviet Union in general was geared for war. That is how Stalin built it up due to the ideological isolation of the USSR.

My thoughts are - the war would be longer, but the Germans could not win.
With this in mind, let's begin in a June 1941, Germany just launched Operation Barbarossa and it seems like a stunning success, the Red Army is entirely unprepared. And the economy is in shambles.

The Soviet system already had a lot of aspects of "warlike economy" even BEFORE the invasion!
Food control;
The Government would collect all food and redistribute it later - which would allow the USSR to prioritize feeding the army and industries over the civilian populace.
