However, the delays caused by bringing back the formations in the Balkans and Crete were, in fact, not serious enough to prevent the deployment of the eastern armies being more or less completed by June 10, 1941.”

This is not correct. Had the attack began earlier in the summer, Moscow would have fallen. There would have been several weeks of dry weather after the massive Bryansk – Vyasma. Latest records show Soviets only had about 130000 troops in front of Moscow after this battle.
