Why didn't Germany attack Moscow directly instead of getting in battles in other cities? as the USSR is a very centralised country, attacking the head city would end the war in eastern front faster, as the US did by bombing Japan in 1942 and again by nukes in 1945

The main reason why Germany didn't attack Moscow directly and instead got in battles in other cities was because they knew when they engaged Russia all of their resources would be diverted.
