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...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

hmmm.. check YOUR READING..

My point was, the tiger and the t-34 were alike because they couldnt keep up the production.. well, I think the T-34 had more production then the tiger tank because of the germans short of a heavy bomber, resulting in the germans couldnt bomb russias industry affectivly..

The Americans shermans were massivly produced to the point were the ratio was 10 shermans vs 1 tiger... the tiger was very expensivie to create and germany didnt have to resources at the time to do that...


BTW - Before you say Russia is so great, you should read a book and realize Stalin killed more of his people then Hitler killed the jews.. Also, look at Russias history with there casualties, in WW1 they had the most casualties... and WW2, once again, had the most casualties..

Also in WW2, Russia murdered thouzands of polish civilians and army personal..

So I have no respect for Russia and never will, this is my opinion and you will never change it, Im not going to come back here and waste my time on this pointless debate..

Theres my 2 cents worth, yet again.
