Halder stressed the importance of Moscow as a transportation, psychological, and political center and argued that its capture should be the primary strategic objective of the attack.
Halder's role in the 1942 German offensive in Russia was primarily that of a voice crying for strategic sanity, a voice that cried in vain.
Halder favored some form of "accident" to kill Hitler, yet by October 1939 he starting carrying a pistol, and after the war he stated that there were a number of times over the next three years on which he almost used it against Hitler.

In November 1939, prodded by Franz Halder and the conspirators, Brauchitsch sought an audience with Hitler to persuade him that Germany could never win a protracted general European war and to beseech him to abandon his plans for conquest.
Halder was horrified to see Brauchitsch emerge from the meeting "chalk white with fear." Hitler then called a meeting of the General Staff to declare that he would smash the West within a year.
He also vowed to "destroy the spirit of Zossen" - a threat that panicked Halder to such an extent that he forced the conspirators to abort their second planned coup attempt.

 Военная литература : История войн : Stolfi R. H. S. Hitler’s Panzers East: World War II ...
Franz Halder, chief, Army General Staff, kept a personal diary covering the preparations for Barbarossa from 22 July 1940 to 22 June 1941, and it does not contain a single remark on the pending eastern campaign that can be read as underestimating its rigors.
Halder's comment is equated naturally, but not necessarily correctly, with an assumed parallel underestimation of the Soviets by Halder and Germans in general.
A more effective interpretation of Halder's remark is that it was accurate, alerting us to some almost incredible resurgence by Soviets and Russians or some catastrophic blunder at the highest level in the German command, a Titanesque mistake in both timing and direction, in the opening weeks of the Russian campaign.

 Strange Victory
Halder's notes show their gradual discovery of the different message that Hitler had in mind, for Hitler described the victory over Poland as giving Germany only a temporary advantage.
Halder asked General Kurt yon Tippelskirch, head of the general staff's intelligence directorate, and Lieutenant Colonel Ulrich Liss, chief of Tippelskirch's Foreign Armies West branch, for a quick, rough estimate of enemy numbers and materiel and of fortifications in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The language in Halder's diary entries has to be understood against the long history of the army in Germany, and against the shorter but eventful history of the army's relations with Hitler since the advent of the Third Reich.

Franz Halder, as chief of staff, had been keeping a diary of the day-to-day decision-making process.
As Hitler became emboldened by his successes in Russia, Halder recorded that the "Fuhrer is firmly determined to level Moscow and Leningrad to the ground." Halder also records Hitler's underestimation of the Russian army's numbers and the bitter infighting between factions within the military about strategy.
Halder, among others, wanted to make straight for the capital, Moscow; Hitler wanted to meet up with Field Marshal Wilhelm Leeb's army group, which was making its way toward Leningrad.
