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.
