Looks like when Tashkent wasn't relegated to the APAC squadron.
Also wasn't the first "oh god no..." the Germans encountered was the land pretty much giving them the middle finger by the way of Rasputitsa BEFORE General Winter decided to pay a visit?
Yeah...... I seriously want to pull so many reports and books out to say it's not the winter which helped Soviet Union defended themselves against the Germans and the French, even. It's more like they killed themselves without thinking how they will need a whole lot of supplies waging a war.
For the Frenches, it was because they thought they could use what they can take from the land itself. Lost for the people not leaving anything for them.
For the Germans, they stretched their own supply line and underfed their soldiers and fought thinking they would win as fast as they fought the French. How big a mistake that was.
But naturally, I doubt how German faction of historians and Soviet haters would care about that. As always.
And yeah, feel free to vote me down just because you don't like the truth. But that doesn't mean you can bend what is true. The German sucked in WW2.
General Winter is famous for stopping the invasion of the French under Napoleon and Nazi Germany in their tracks, see?I want to go south nevertheless as the warmer is better, see!That!This!We won't be having that now!For Russia, winter isn't just a trying time, it's a season that we have a deep affinity with!However, the harsh winter climate has protected the land from military attack on numerous occasions.The as-yet-unseen Comrade...just my imagination?
