German soldiers froze to death in Moscow, why not rob the Soviets of their clothes?
In June 1941, Hitler unilaterally tore up the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and launched a fierce attack on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was caught off guard by the German army and gradually retreated, and Hitler also wanted to use blitzkrieg to win victory as soon as possible, just like Germany in Poland and France, and annihilated the Soviet Union in three months at most.
Hitler's plan was perfect, to destroy the Soviet Union in three months, and from June to September, the cold weather in the Soviet Union had not yet arrived, and the war was over.
Why did Hitler suddenly fight the Soviet Union, first, he failed in the process of bombing Britain by the air force, and the country's resources were limited and it was urgent to replenish strategic equipment. Hitler valued the vast land of the Soviet Union, the large oil fields of the Soviet Union, and the developed economy of the Soviet Union, and he wanted to join Japan to achieve the goal of invading the world.
The Soviet people were not vegetarians either, and with the support of their leader Stalin, they soon organized an effective defense, and although the early losses were heavy, women also went to the battlefield, and 800,000 women were conscripted into the army, carried guns, and declared war on Hitler.
The Soviet people insisted on fighting guerrilla warfare, retreating while fighting, luring the enemy to go deeper, and lengthening the front and increasing the duration of the battle through continuous combat.
Such a tug-of-war would be fatal to Germany. Due to the relatively long front of Tha pulled, the resources of the country began to be scarce, and the supply of logistics and materials could not be guaranteed at all. Even if there are so many cotton clothes and cotton pants in the country, they can't be transported too far away, let alone not yet.
By November, the weather in the Soviet Union was getting colder, and the clothes of the German army were so thin that they could not be beaten, and the phenomenon of frostbite and frostbite continued to occur. So can the Germans rob the Soviet people of their clothes?
In the battle, the Soviet people withdrew what they could withdraw, and they hid what they could hide, and before they retreated, they burned the houses, and burned all the things they could not take away, leaving nothing for the enemy. Therefore, the German army wanted to rob the Soviet people of the people, but they could not grab it at all.
For the Red Army soldiers who fought against the German army on the battlefield, if the German army wanted to grab clothes, it could only pick up clothes from the dead Red Army soldiers. These clothes must have been rotten after the baptism of war, even if they were not rotten, they were not thick, nor were they enough to withstand the cold outside at about minus 40 degrees.
In fact, in the Soviet Union, in the cold weather, it was not only the soldiers who had no clothes to wear, but also froze to death and frostbite. Moreover, the ice and snow were so heavy that their tanks and vehicles could not drive at all, there were no snow chains, the tires were frozen off, and the planes could not fly without gasoline. The bolts of the guns carried by the German soldiers were also frozen and could not be opened.
The cold weather of the Soviet Union, everyone can see in film and television dramas, generally wear animal fur clothes, wear fur hats, in the cold weather can not go out without going out. And for the German soldiers, they want to seize the Soviet Union, so they have to fight outdoors, then this is a fatal blow.
In fact, Hitler's policy of decisively taking over the Soviet Union in three months was right, and if that were the case, the Soviet Union would have been destroyed, but the Soviet people fought heroically, lengthened the front line, and stretched it long enough. Just as Japan clamored for months to take Down China, all the invaders were paper tigers, and reality snapped in the face of the invaders.
It is also the day that does not die in the Soviet Union, the local cold weather, to the Soviet Union injected a shot of cardiotonic agent, in the case of the German army is extremely unaccustomed to the cold weather of the Soviet Union, frostbite frostbite most of the most, had to retreat. The Soviet army and civilians rose up in pursuit, beat the falling water dogs, and fought a beautiful turnaround battle.
In summary, if the German soldiers can grab the clothes of the Soviets in extremely cold and life-threatening weather, they must rob them, and the important reason is that there is no clothes for them to grab, and if they continue to stay, the cold weather will kill them, and they can only wait and die. So in the end, the German war of aggression against the Soviet Union was doomed to fail.
