General Paulus' army, once 330,000 troops strong, had been uterly liquidated... The comment on the snow killing many troops was true, but what about malaria and malnutrition killing many of the Japanese that the Americans and Australians would face ?

The Red Army encircled 91,000 German troops in Stalingrad in one swift manuver and picked them off, one unit at a time...And you should also keep in mind how long the Russian front was...And, If the Russians hadn't kept the Germans at bay, many German troops would be free to go to the Western Front and overrun them....As for someones comment that the T-34 was like the Tiger, Hmmm, check your' facts, The first time the Germans encountered it, It wiped out 5 panzers and took 1 hour to destroy on one occasion...
