The Germans failed to account for the harsh Winter conditions for which the common soldier was not properly equipped . The Germans lost any mobility that they had had by being involved in house to house fighting within the streets of Stalingrad . The Luftwaffe was not prepared or capable of providing the supplies needed for the Sixth Army once the army was surrounded and subsequently annihilated by the surrounding Russian armies .

∙ 9y agoIn August 1939, the U.S.S.R. and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty agreeing not to attack each other, nor to ally with or provide aid to an enemy of the other party. (This treaty or pact is generally called the Hitler-Stalin Pact after the leaders of the two countries or the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact after their foreign ministers.) Russia did not expect a surprise attack by Nazi Germany breaking the treaty less than two years after it was signed, and so it was unprepared for Hitler's invasion.

It was a non-aggression pact under which the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany each pledged to remain neutral in the event that either nation were attacked by a third party. It remained in effect until 22 June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
