Impressive as it was, let's be honest:
>Early war, when Soviets were incompetent as shit
>Muh human wave tactics
>Have improper gear for a winter war
>Meanwhiles, Finns have tunnel networks, skis, and above all know their territory

Honestly wish we could have helped you guys though.

>>68543046
Why does Germany not know how to pick sides.

>Side with Austro Hungary and Turkey against France, Russia, and Britain
>Side with fucking Italy in WWII

I mean, Japan wasn't a bad choice, but what could they do to help you?

It was the the population that could've been pulled into it. They literally did just draft people when they turned 18 at the end of the conflict. I don't know what was the actual field strength that they wanted to manage.

yeah, that's exactly what we want...Germany have drag Italy into a war they didn't even want. Mussolini had to choose: to make the best of a bad thing starting war alongside of Germany, or be invaded (which actually happen but in a very different moment of war) and destroyed.
