Is it mainly because of the weather that Germany can't beat Moscow?

As the capital of the former Soviet Union and the center of the socialist regime, Moscow naturally became the key target of Germany. The Germans thought they could occupy Moscow before winter, but they didn't expect it to take so long. 194 1 On September 30th, 2000, Germany assembled 2 million troops, 14000 cannons, 1700 tanks and 1400 planes to launch a military operation codenamed "Typhoon" against Moscow. On October 3rd, 65438/KLOC-0, the Germans captured orel, and on October 23rd, 65438/KLOC-0, they besieged five army groups of the former Soviet Union stationed in Vyazma-Bryansk, and captured more than 670,000 Soviet troops.

Even so, the Germans failed to win Moscow. Stalin saw these situations and immediately recalled General zhukov, the "fireman". General zhukov quickly formed an army through various channels. He formed 14 infantry divisions, 16 integrated tank brigades and more than 40 artillery regiments. In addition, 40,000 militia troops, 1 10,000 "tank annihilation group" and "street fighting group" were organized, which greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient Soviet troops.

In addition, the intelligence work is fruitful. Sorge, the ace agent of the Soviet Union, sent a telegram to the Soviet Union at the cost of his own life: Japanese troops would not attack the Soviet Union northward. In this way, Stalin's hanging heart was put down, and more than 20 well-organized troops were mobilized from the Far East with peace of mind.

In addition, the Germans didn't expect to fight for so long, and so many cold-proof equipment didn't keep up. Hitler assessed the war optimistically. The long front line caused the cold-proof materials and rear supplies to fail to keep up in time. The losses of the German army could not be replenished in time. Because of the serious losses, the German army had no reserve, and at that time it directly reduced its staff by 3 10000. In addition, the lack of fuel is also a big problem. Here, tanks can't run without fuel, and even if there is, they are frozen to pieces. The Germans used to rely relatively on armored forces, but now they don't. Naturally, they are losing ground.

Therefore, the cold weather is only part of the reason. The rear supply can't keep up, the war damage can't be replenished in time, the front line is stretched too long, and its own strength is overestimated, and there is no reliable armored cluster. These different problems came together, which made the German army retreat one after another and eventually fell apart. It was not until the end that Moscow was successfully won.

This shows the importance of rear supply and combat readiness, and at the same time, we must correctly evaluate our own strength. Otherwise, it will be like the Germans in Moscow.
