The winter did the most to stop Hitler.

"The winter of 1941-42 was one of the worst in recorded history. Daily temperatures fell to 40 degrees below zero. German soldiers had not been issued with warm winter clothing as Hitler believed that the invasion would be over by the winter. Soldiers froze to death in their sleep, diesel froze in fuel tanks and food was in very short supply. Russian soldiers had been issued with winter clothing and did not suffer as badly as their German enemies."

As to our discussion: It WILL happen. We are crossing a cusp where primitive and moral midgets WILL have science and technology.

The only way to deal with the risk of a first strike is to strike an alliance for mutual survival. Hint--send your mind ahead 30 years...
