WRONG WRONG WRONG! First of all the Scorched-Earth policy was used in the civil war by the North and it was the policy of devastating all land and buildings in the course of advancing or retreating troops in order to leave nothing salvageable to the enemy.

When the Soviets retreated, they burned all the fields and crops behind them so that the Germans would have no food. This policy devastated the countryside and made the Russian peasants very angry because they had no food themselves. But it worked and the Germans starved.

This question is not accurate. There was no battle that was known as scorched earth. Rather scorched earth was a method of fighting and is sometimes referred to as "the scorched earth policy". An army that applied the scorched earth policy would destroy all resources as they retreated. This would prevent the approaching enemy from having any food or shelter or supplies to supplement their army. This policy was used by the Russians against Napleon in 1814 and again by the Russians against the Germans in 1941.

The Soviet Union used the scorched earth policy to deprive the Germans of food and ammunition. The Nazis had a long supply line and with Germany having a battle on both the eastern and western fronts, there was little food to be had. It was easier for the Soviets to pick off the starving Nazi soldiers.

The scorched earth policy basically states that a retreating military army should destroy any food or supplies that would be useful to the opposing side when retreating. The scorched earth policy not affects armies but civilians as well.
Scorched earth policy.
I think it is called the scorched earth policy because the enemy's homes and farms gets burned down so everything is on fire and it looks like the earth is burning
