Why didn't the Germans fight the Soviet Union in World War II?

During World War II, the Germans had cold-proof materials. Because of the cold weather, their fuel could not be ignited and their combat experience was insufficient, so this was the root cause of their failure. Cold is really helpful to Russia, so is Napoleon's expedition to Russia.

In the whole war, climate is one of the indispensable elements, but victory often belongs to the prepared side. The Germans did not take measures to prepare for the cold weather. In autumn, the ground freezes, and when the sun comes out during the day, the ground melts and the road becomes extremely muddy. For all kinds of equipped vehicles, driving is very difficult.

Germans are almost unprepared for the bad weather in autumn and winter. Although they already have enough winter equipment, due to the limitation of transportation capacity, they can't fully distribute these equipment to the front. Therefore, the army can't get suitable winter clothes. Some soldiers also stuffed newspapers into their jackets to keep warm, when the temperature was as low as -30℃.

In order to operate the heater and heating, German soldiers had to use gasoline, which was in short supply, as fuel. On the other hand, Soviet soldiers took adequate measures to keep out the cold, from equipment to warm clothes. In fact, this military action was only affected by the cold weather.

Therefore, all the progress was slow, and the Germans were relatively more affected, while the well-prepared Soviet Red Army was less affected, so it gained the upper hand in the war. The counter-offensive launched by the Soviet Union at 194 1 12 successfully repelled the Germans. Facts have proved that opportunities are still reserved for those who are prepared. Only when they are fully prepared can they win the battle.
