Most of the Russians were well equipped to fight in Winter conditions whereas the Germans were poorly clad for such extreme cold .

The Russians would be wearing felt-lined boots , fur caps along with quilted jackets .

The Germans , however , suffered terribly from the cold due to a lack of proper clothing where many would be wearing whatever clothing was at hand such as women's scarves on their head , some managed to have made a rope outer-covering for their boots . Frostbite was a very real problem for common German soldier .

Hitler failed to see the necessity for supplying his men with the clothing necessary for Winter operations because he felt that the war in the East would be over with before Winter had set in .

The weather in 1942-43 was the coldest since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow .
