  1. The organized resistance of France lasted 1.5 months, in Poland about 15 days. You confuse the existence of separate foci of resistance with the organized.

  2. Russia lost about the same in World War I, plus there was a bloody civil war. But she did not receive psychological trauma. The difference in mentality?

  3. Sphere723 > This has been not been well understood in the west because of the reliance on German accounts of Red Army force sizes, which compared to Soviet internal documents have been shown to be erroneously over estimated. Source? According to my calculations, the Axis block had a numerical advantage on the eastern front approximately until the spring of 1942, then the red army began to gradually gain an advantage.

  4. > if he had known the strength of the Soviet army, particularly in tanks, he would not have invaded He said only that it would be harder for him to make a decision > when they the Soviets suffered twenty million casualties Half of them are civil. > Twenty million was about a third of the German population So do you think the population of Germany is about 60 million? The population of Germany: 1934 - 66.6 million (Without the Saar region). 1937 - 68.3 million (Including this area). 1938 - 75 million (Including Austria). 1939 - 79 million (Including the Sudetenland). 1939 - 88 million (including the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia). 1940 - 107 million (After the war with Poland). 1941 - 114 million (annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, parts of Belgium, parts of Denmark, parts of Yugoslavia) USSR had 196 million in 1941. He mobilized 35 million people throughout the war, Germany from 20 to 23 million. > Of course the Soviets greatly outnumbered the Germans. How much more? Concrete numbers. I am almost sure that you will call incomplete numbers for Germany.

  7. "operation barbarossa which was halted by the Russian winter" - any fool knows that cold winters and bad roads are in Russia. But the defeat of Germany was programmed because of their wrong military planning. "could Germany have made the USSR surrender?" - no need to blame Italy for own defeats. She had 62 thousand people in Russia in 1941, while Germany had more than 4 million.
