What was even the point of that southern front? Wouldn't it be more effective if they focused on Moscow and Saint Petersburg?

1. Stalin was expecting an attack on Moscow and it was much better defended
2. All the oil came from the Caucasus region
3. The Volga and Black Sea were what the allies used to deliver lend lease

Capturing Ukrainian grain so they wouldn't be starved out like in the First world war from a joint French-British blockade.
Also, Hitler was retarded, and couldn't distinguish what was rational, and what was purely symbolic so he hoped to conquer lands around the Black sea so that German families could "colonize" it even before the war would've ended.

Oil fields and Sevastopol. In fact, had Hitler stuck to the original plan on taking the oil fields and just them and ignored Stalingrad, he would have come much closer to winning. Instead he got autistic over Stalingrad and split his forces up, getting involved with a meat grinder for fucking months.
As for why it was there RIGHT at the start? Because there were army groups there, but the ultimate plan was to go down to the oil fields. Plus, as I said, Sevastopol, which is a super important port and a main reason that Russia invaded Crimea. It's the largest port in the area, has military grade docks, has the most trade and facilities to do it. Russia makes mad bank now they control it.

Almost negligable though but good point.

To secure a route to the Baku oil fields
Fun fact. The first supply shipment that reached Leningrad after the siege had broken was something like 10,000 cats, to deal with the rodent problem because the inhabitants had eaten all of the cats during the siege.
Out of all the things they could have sent, like food and water, guns or whatever. They sent trains full of cats. Some were promptly eaten (though I think there was a punishment for doing so)

It disgusts me how casual Paradox is making their games.
Beating the USSR was supposed to be a thrill back on DH and III. Now it's something faggots do on their first game.
