In very hot summers, the winter weather melts and turns into mud. Which is also not helpful when you are trying to blitzkrieg.
Regardless, if the Russians had stopped the Bolshevik Revolution then the Germans wouldn't have freaked out and went all crazy.
So, now it's hot summers and not cold winters that were a deciding factor, eh. Let's add to the mix that Soviet Union have several climatic zones, including dry steppe regions in, for example, Crimea. Novorossijsk was bombed by the Germans for two years before they managed to conquer the city.
You are trying to diminish the heroism of the people by trying to find whatever alternative explanation you can and pushing the huge human sacrifice to the second row, or even obliterating it altogether. And this is one of the weapons used by the Western propaganda machine - the weather myth is one of them.
Also, now it's Russians and the destruction of their country that is to blame for the German aggression. The revolution, the red colour revolution of 1917, was implemented by the Western powers. Don't try to shift the blame on the victims.
I said it was *BOTH* hot (muddy) summers and cold (icy) winters. Are you confused by simple logic, or just straining to manufacture inconsistencies in my position?
"German aggression?" I guess you missed the Polish–Soviet War, and the
Bavarian Revolution.
"Heroism of the people?" Don't make me laugh.
Overthrowing the Tsar and murdering his family isn't "heroism."
Allowing the Bolshevik barbarians to destroy a once-great world-leading Empire in a civil war isn't heroism.
Aiding and abetting a genocidal dictator like Stalin as he carves up Poland and starves millions with forced collective farming failures isn't heroism.
Absorbing German bullets until they run out and freeze/cough/starve to death isn't heroism.
If Russians had a higher capacity for being honest with themselves and admitting fault when necessary, they wouldn't suffer so horribly on a regular basis.
Their conceited 'Russia is always right because Russians are the best' bullshit comes back to bite them in the ass, over and over again.
They ate up Lenin's 'death to the kulaks' class warfare BS, then blamed Lenin's ethnicity when the dead kulaks could no longer feed them or their Slavic sister nations.
By supporting the Great October Socialist Revolution, the Russians created the situation which directly victimized not only themselves, but ultimately the Germans and hundreds of millions of others.
Fuck that and fuck them! Stop being like the Japanese war criminal apologists, grow up, and learn to admit when mistakes were made.
Blaming "The Jew Bankers" is a totally lame excuse, and beneath a people with the capacity for advanced civilization.
You buy into the poor blameless-Russian/guilty Jew Banker conspiracy theory, and have the audacity to accuse any inconveniently anti-Russian facts of being "Western propaganda?"
Give me a break.
Be sure to tell the Finns how peaceful the Communists were. They are apparently also victims of "Western propaganda" and mistakenly believe the USSR invaded and occupied their country in an imaginary event called the Winter War. Silly Finns, they need to stop listening to Evil Jew Bankers! They should be grateful the Soviet Army liberated them from the clutches of the bourgeois Jew Banker devils, right?
