The Climate and the landscape of the Soviet Union during the Battle of Stalingrad was one of the major reasons why Germany had a devastated defeat at Stalingrad.

This is because;

-With the heavy snow fall and icy conditions, it was very hard to transport SPGs and Tanks to the Battle field.

-Most of the Panzer Tank commanders were used to urban and field conditions, not cold and winterry conditions.

-The weather also restricted supplies to the Germans so, they couldn't send ammo or fuel to the main front line and to the German 6th army, who were trapped at Stalingrad.

Why was the Battle of Stalingrad was a crushing defeat for Germany?

I would be happy to answer your question. The Battle of Stalingrad was a crushing defeat for Germany for several reasons. Think of Stalingrad as the control point in the Soviet Union, if Germany were to be victorious they would have half of the Soviet Union in their control. Since there were not near as many people in Eastern Soviet Union this would mean that a majority of the population would be under control by the Axis. Since the Soviets managed to defeat the Germans at Stalingrad Hitler could not expand Axis territory. Also if that answer was not satisfactory and perhaps you are asking why the Soviets were able to defeat the Germans the answer is simple. German troops were issued spring clothing and Hitler sent in his troops late, causing the battle to extend into the winter. Since the Germans were not used to the colder climate of the USSR many became ill and died. If Hitler were to send in troops earlier they probably would have taken control of Stalingrad and perhaps even won the war and thank God he didn't.
