The Russians defeated the Germans with the blessings of Ol' Man Winter and the follies of Adolph Hitler. The Germans were frozen, starving, dying from the cold and lack of food and supplies. At the end of the Stalingrad Battle a bunch of simple grenades did the trick. Many Germans were taken prisoner as they surrendered in defeat. Adolph Hitler can be blamed for the demise of the German forces failing. He refused to let them quit and he would not send more supplies.
The year that the Russian defeated the Germans was the year 1945.
No , the Germans suffered a significant defeat at the hands of the Russians losing the battle for the city of Stalingrad ; one which the Germans never recovered from since the Russians from that point on had the initiative .
Stalingrad on the Volga River .
Germany had been winning in Russia, but that battle was literally hand to hand for every square inch that the Russians fought for. The entire population took part in defeating the Germans and it was a turning point for the Russians. Even today when you visit Russia they point out to you sites where they fought the Germans.

Russians and Germans
The Germans lacked Hoth's 4th Panzer army which would have helped to capture the city of Stalingrad but instead the 4th Army was assisting Manstein in the Crimean peninsula . The loss of Paulus' 6th Army at Stalingrad was a crushing defeat for the Wehrmacht which the Germans never recovered from and lost momentum which was never regained and marked a signal victory for the Russians and was a significant morale booster to Russian war efforts .
The Germans versus the Russians .
It depends where the Germans and Russians are from in Germany and Russia. For example, northern Germany tends to have tall, blonde haired and blue eyed Germans, while Bavaria in the south also has many shorter, brown haired and brown eyed Germans.
