Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]
Absolutely but thats again because Russian military sucked uncomonly bad even for the period, apart from that Russians didnt outnumber the Wehrmacht as much as Western allies did and still got better results through sheer determination, apart from that it proves that Germany didnt need the world piling up to defeat it, all it took was Russia.
your missing the point a little, you took on the German army at its lowest possible point. It was over stretched, under bad leadership and nobody knew a jot what the hell was going on and where, even when the guys on the ground were telling the high command what was going on they ignored them!!!!
If you had taken them on in the height of their powers it would have been a no-contest.
So you mean that generals who practically invented mechanized warfare, in-depth defence and perfected blitzkrieg and combined arms combat used today by the entire world, and conquered militaries collectively numbering over 7 milion soldiers were incompetent?:)
those people were under command themselves, their hands were tied by the German high command, isn't that obvious to you??? Even in the book 'Stalingrad' it is made clear that Hitler had lost the plot and ignored all his generals.
Russia in 1940 had 5.3 milion soldiers, 3 times more tanks then all the armies of the rest of the world combined, twice the artillery, Red Army had more machineguns and smgs then all the armies of Europe, German generals were geniuses but it takes a bloody miracle for such a country to stand no chance.
yet they did not have enough guns for each man :) what sort of condition were the soldiers in??? i can tell you now, NOT GOOD. what good are guns if the guys holding them are fooked.
