I don't see where unriggable is going with this.
If you are going to call America a Nazi Nation then head over to flame it if you want to, but not here this is about history.

Very true, as one general said in the pull back of Napolions forces (I know I spelled that wrong) "The best general in Russia is the winter", I belive that is how it was said.

very true. those winters are the coldest in the world evept for maybe artica and antartica. the russians had adapted to it. they had exelent snipers (like Vasili Zaitzev from Enemy at the Gates which is based on a real story about a russian boy who enlisted in the russian ifantry due to the atack of Stalingrad. he later is transfered to the sniper divisionwhere his friend(cant remember his name) who is a sort of russian propagandaist tells every day of how many Nazi officers Vasili killed that day. Eventually the Nazis smart up and send their best sharpshooter, "The Fox" I think, to kill him. thats about the first 45 minutes of it. The rest of the three hours its just Vasilli and the Fox trying to kill eachothe.) amd they knew the terrain better than the germans. thats one of the disadvantages of invadeing the country.

Has anyone here seen Enemy at the Gates

In a guess of numbers a years of reading books in laugages that I have problems with the est. number is *drum roll* 8.5 million people, in total of both German and Russian (if you wanted to know) was about 15+ million people, just in the russian front.

Here is a little thing to think about.

If you tryed to pull back you were shot by you own leader.
A lot of messages never made it to there commanders because they shot the person caring the letter, by there own commanders that they were trying to give the letter too, the commander guessed that they were leaving the front.
A big NO NO.

actually, surprisingly, thats wrong. its a close second though. i was The Battle of the Bulge. the total casualties were 174,821 dead or wounded on both sides. 89,987 for the allies and 84,834 for the Germans. and whats weird is that the germans had less casualties but still lost.

Well I will look up on that, but I guess you can say you learn something new everyday.

The Germans were low on oil, that was the reason for the attack.
There goal was to reach Antwerp.
