Oh for crying out loud!   What do you think happened?   The German
Army set out 2 weeks before Christmas but turned back because the snow
was too deep, or something?

The Germans pushed deep into the western Soviet Union and even deep
into the Russian heartland, pursuing a "scorched earth" policy as they
went.  After the war, many mass civilian graves were dug up by the
Allies all through Byelorussia, the Ukraine, the Baltic States and
Russia itself.  Because of the insane Nazi ideology, harmless Russian
Jews were singled out for "special attention" by the death squads.

In their two major summer campaigns into the USSR, the Germans did not
plan on getting bogged down in the Russian winter.  Obviously the
winter compounded their problems but it was a poorly equipped Red Army
which fought for every foot of Soviet soil that stopped the Germans
from  claiming Moscow and Leningrad (Stalingrad, too).
