It's the shitty infrastructure and the total disregard for civilian and soldier life that saved Russia.

You know the answer already mate ...
You know it.
Deep down
you know.

Not really. Both 42 and 43 saw attempted Soviet offensives in the spring rasputitsa
which failed rather miserably.
The fall stuff slowed the Wehrmacht down in 41 and 42, but not that much, to be honest.

Punishment for Russian Orthodoxy flirting with Calvinist theology for a few decades in the 19th century.
>>1820298
Literally just retarded counties with no idea what they are doing. The mongols fucking raped portions of Russia with a tiny army even in extremely shit winter.
