How prepared the USSR was for the war with Germany.

The Soviet Union was in good combat readiness before the war. By that time, the USSR had managed to accumulate a significant amount of equipment. Another thing is that the war was conceived not as defensive, but as offensive, on the territory of the enemy. In addition, if there was enough equipment, there was not enough specialists, because in many respects they were destroyed during the mass repressions in the 30s. Intelligence possessed data on the concentration of German troops on the borders, but this was not taken into account. In addition, the borders were also not sufficiently fortified, because they were moved two years before the outbreak of hostilities.
