Winter in the Soviet Union is very cold. How did the Germans prevent freezing in the Soviet Union?

In fact, the anti-freezing measures of the Germans were not done well, which led to the failure of their attack on Moscow. Unlike the Soviet Union, Germany is warm and humid all year round, and there is no obvious rainy season. However, due to the high dimension of the Soviet Union and the cold weather, it failed in attacking the Soviet Union.

The cold weather led to the defeat of the war, but at that time they didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. The real severe cold disaster broke out in June 165438+ 10/2. That night, under the influence of the cold current, the weather at MINUS 10 degrees Celsius dropped to MINUS 40 degrees Celsius. Nearly a million Germans and thousands of tanks and chariots seem to have completely frozen. The fifth armored division has reported to the logistics department for two weeks, demanding at least 65,438+000 tons of antifreeze for the troops to spend the winter. However, due to the capacity problem, there is still a backlog of railway stations 600 kilometers away from the front line. Without antifreeze and experience in using tanks in cold areas, more than 200 tanks and other chariots of the division broke down and their parts were damaged, making it basically impossible to attack.

Finally, during the day of 13, the engines of more than 300 German tanks were frozen. Due to the lack of cold protection equipment, more than 900 trucks were completely scrapped in the sudden cooling ... Due to the lack of protection, many weapon sights were also damaged. Their elite armored forces were destroyed.

Because the Soviet Union didn't react correctly to the weather. Coupled with the lack of logistics supply, the Germans failed to prevent freezing well when the Soviet Union attacked Moscow, which also led to the failure of the German tanks in the snow, which indirectly led to the failure of the war.
