Yeah scale, ferocity and sheers numbers of the fighting on Eastern front not to mention the weather conditions is quite mind boggling

It's not like the Russians had a lack of troops though.

all the same, it took some doing stopping those german panzer divisions once they got rolling, they went through western europe like a dose of salts.
even with all the manpower the russians had (not to mention bravery) it still took them nearly a 1000 miles and a severe winter to stop them

The Russians may have had manpower but they were short on equipment though - one gun and ammunition between two soldiers

The Germans weren't easy to stop that's for sure. But I think that people underestimate how big of a military power Russia actually was. It was a very ambitious effort to conquer Russia, even for Germany.

Can you imagine how the world would be if Hitler hadn't attacked Russia ? If most of those German divisions were deployed in western Europe  :wwww
