Zoya will become famous soon enough
From my (limited ~ I'm fairly new to this, so will stand corrected if necessary) understanding, he was thwarted at virtually every turn by Hitler, so we may never know what he might have been capable of given more leeway.

Fwiw, Alan Clark's book contains the transcripts of some of the arguments with Hitler. Will have to check back to see if Guderian is included in those transcripts. I would recommmend the book.
