@BeatsNC Im not french, but the french foreign legion were ready to fight, and legionare caught going into battle vs the nazi's could have been shot dead by their own people, the politicians are the ones who went weak in the knees not the people of france. orders are orders.

[BeatsNC]

I wish the French didn't surrender so much. Too bad.

@FilmRomMusDrawingWar

You seems to forget the decisive factor. The huge USSR territory, twice USA size. Soviets were overcrushed during 2 years, and lost more than 4 millions prisoners in the hands of Wehrmacht. A lot of them were exterminated in death Nazi camps.

[FilmRomMusDrawingWar]

Soviets did not have superiority in numbers in front of the Moscow. Germans had more tanks and plaines and winter did not stop germans but russian guts. There were 2 german ofensives on Moscow and soviet counterofensive. Before overvhelming enemy Russians fought and were victorious. German pincers north and south of the Moscow were stopped by guts and fighting, not by winter.

@NearAbbeyRoad yeah they were stopped infront of moscow when winter came and with a force 10times that of the germans (most of which were far east divisions). do you realized how many pockets can be made in a blitzkreig war , the attacker does need to pin the enemy infront of a wall , it can just bypass it on both sides and come down from all sides on them , in russia the blitzkrieg failed to win the war because of russian winter , because its armiy's size , because russia is just tooo large.
