[quote="[JuGGeRnAuT]":799f2]Yeah the beginning of the war, thats why the German were way into Russian territory, that couldnt have taken more than a few days right?[/quote:799f2]

most hostorians consider everything from the beginning of the war to the end of 1942 "ealry war"

note that the Americans didn't really start kicking ass until 1943.
Why?
because we needed to get everything switched over to war production, same with the Soviets.

well if you studied anything about the Napoleonic wars, the Russians practiced exactly the same tactic, scorched earth, and retreat. they retreated all the way to moskva and then the Russian winter came.....then they moved the factories to siberia so they could not be bombed and the russians produced faster than any other country including the US

Im sure they slashed and burned in world war II. Or maybe the russians just call it "strategy"

that's what I'm trying to tell him, about the factories being moved, but teh MacCarthy-ist twit won't listen, he's stuck in his 1950s cold war "I hate Russia" fantasy

A good book on this campaign and a good overview of the Eastern Front is given in Antony Beevor's Stalingrad. He sets the epic confrontation between the 6th Army and Russian Forces with a brief overview of Operation Barbarossa. Styrker's info is right on the money. The Russian War machine, once in place was a mass production marvel, at its height churning out over 2200 tanks a month.... oOo:
