Various key factors played a role in the victory for the Soviets at Stalingrad. The massive numbers of Russian troops gave them a significant advantage and the Russian winter made it difficult for the Germans to advance.
In both cases the Russian winter. Neither the French nor the German Army were adequately equipped for fighting in such a ugly weather conditions.. The line of communication of both armies were too long and "thins" and therefore subject to be interrupted by the mobile Russian units, which deprived them of being supplied and supported by reinforcements. Napoleon retreated following the same route he had made in summer, that is through an already scorched earth, which gave no possibility of supply. Hitler's attempt to supply his isolated army at Stalingrad by air, failed due to the adverse weather conditions and the action of the Russian Air Force.
The Russian Sniper learned and perfected his craft in Stalingrad. The Russian Snipers exacted a terrible toll on German Military Officers and Technicians. German Officers usually led from the front and with the abundance of Russian Snipers the life of a Officer wasn't very long. There was never enough junior officers to go around, especially in combat arms, so as a result a sergeant usually led most platoons and lieutenants led quite a few companies (that should have been led by captains). I believe that most platoons were better led because they were now being led by an experienced Sergeant, instead of an inexperienced lieutenant. The downside was that new lieutentants, who should have been groomed by platoon sergeants, missed out on valuable experience and knowledge. I believe that the hardest hit area would have been at company level where lieutenants, with little experience, would have been occasionally thrust into Command of A company. The Russian sniper played a crucial role in the Battle of Stalingrad all the way to the Battle of Berlin. The Russians also employed numerous successful female snipers who earned numeorus medals, awards, and fearsome reputation.
The Cossacks
Well Directly no, but his policy's he ordered played a HUGE role in the victory at Stalingrad, His orders like order 227 which made Soviet soldiers retreating without orders a crime punishable by death. in Stalingrad around 30,000 soviet soldiers where shot by their own side due to this. although this policy sound ruthless in the bigger picture most soviet soldiers fought bravely and the policy actually increase morale.
