In case you didn't know, German Troops met their most resistance some miles outside of Moscow. It was late in the year,
and Hitler thought Russia would be a ...Quick Win...!!!..

So..he didn't equip the German troops with winter clothes. Well, it went on longer than Hitler imagined, and Stalin brought
in his troops from ...Siberia...and they were equipped to fight the winter cold. (Siberia ain't warm, it is cold)..
.........The troops from Siberia ....beat the German troops into the ground because it was Winter and they were ready to
fight the Winter)...greatest mistake Hitler made...the invasion of Russia...

....The Russian Army lost over a million soldiers, but,........THEY SAVED THE WORLD FROM HITLER

Few Americans know that,.and we all owe a lot to the Russians that fought Hitler..
