A watched one demonstration frequently Jim Ted out. Had robbed the soviet Union of Many of her Best military leaders. The nazis were the most surprised of All for they were the worst mis calculators. They obviously had intended to crush the soviet Union one Quick overpowering blow. Instead the red army had Learned the technique of dealing with Blitzkrieg warfare. No longer could German panzers wander far front of the infantry. The russians simply would not be encircled they retreated instead. The nazis were soon complaining that the russians fought unfairly and never knew when they were beaten. One thing was certain the nazis had never dreamed of the possibility of having to spend a Winter of fighting Russia. It was the worst Winter a too years and German soldiers suffered from frostbite and cold and every terror that Zero weather can bring. As a measure of How badly things had gone or. Goebbels even had to go the air and make a special plea for German women to Cive up their fur Coats to Send to the front. The Napoleonic parallel was brought up time and again. Admit defeat december 12 of that first year of ?.� russian War.

The industries of tile urals could show a rising Chart of production. More and More russians were finishing their training and appearing the front. Hitler this summer of 1943.
