The Germans froze tens of thousands of people to death in the cold winter in the Soviet Union. Why don't they burn trees to keep warm?
Regarding the Soviet-German war, many people always think that the weather is the main reason for the final victory of the Soviet Union, not the heroic struggle of Soviet soldiers. Obviously, this is a wrong view. First, Germany failed to capture the Soviet Union for a long time because of a huge mistake in strategic deployment, which was fatal. Secondly, the Soviet Union has been stubbornly resisting, which has bought the Soviet Union too much time, otherwise it could not have dragged on such bad weather.
Germany has always regarded its own blitzkrieg as a signboard, but when it fought against the Soviet Union, it was obvious that such tactics did not play well. Hitler's plan was to win the Soviet Union before winter, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for Germany.
At the beginning of the war, Germany's emphasis seemed to be wrong. Germany did not concentrate its forces directly in Moscow, but divided its troops into three roads, all the way to St. Petersburg, all the way to Moscow and all the way to Ukraine. Although good results have been achieved in the early stage, unprecedented difficulties have been encountered in Ukraine. One place is blocked, which leads to difficulties everywhere. Someone once suggested giving up Ukraine and directly fighting Moscow, but Germany did not adopt this suggestion, which eventually led to the long German front and was dragged to death. What about the Soviet Union?
What's more, the army of the whole country was used to resist the German attack. One of the most important strategies directly cut off the rear road of the Germans. Before the war, the Soviet Union moved residents in many areas back to the front line of the war, leaving no brick or tile for the Germans.
Such a bad battlefield environment has seriously slowed down the speed of German attack and the supply of logistics, and with the arrival of winter. The ill-prepared German soldiers came up with another question: How to resist the cold winter and low temperature? Many German soldiers still wear thin military uniforms due to difficulties in logistics supply and poor initial consideration.
Many people ask, why didn't Germany burn, kill and plunder after entering the Soviet Union? Because the residents were moved by the Soviet Union, the places where the Germans went were desolate, and no one could even see them, let alone rob the farmers of their food. At that time, even if the Germans caught the Soviet prisoners, they released them directly, because the prisoners had to feed him and there was not enough for their own people. At that time, German bodies were everywhere, and even a decent house to avoid the heavy snow could not be found, let alone burning trees to keep warm.
