i feel that when hitler split the main campaign to attack stalingrad and to gain the vast russian oil feilds, plus continue the main assault on moscow, that spelt disaster for the german army who was already feeling the pinch of an over stretched supply line. both battles absorbed alot of german supplies and troops. it also doesnt help that it was to be one of the coldest russian winters in history either. cyberia made a fair point in regards to the soviet people if they had had been treated well hitler would have had a very large volunteer army at his disposal to defeat the comuinists. however brutality was used and the russian nkvd squads spread the rumors and truths to the worried soviet people and troops which led to a ferocity never seen in soviet troops before revenge would be sweet. lastly hitler never was one for history if he had had been he would have learnt from napolean who failed in the very same way centuries before
