The Russian Army hated the Germans now to any extent. The Russian soldier thought of his life no more than his comrades, and they fought to stand still in the streets of Starlingrad until men on either side was dead. The heavy shelling and bombing of Starlingrad didn't do much as the city was already dead. In fact, it just created cover and shelter for the Russain Soldiers.

The German army, having fought in Western Europe for the past couple of Years, had not experienced what Russia had to bring. They were not properly trained or equipped for warfare of this extreme and had only their leathers and boots to defend themselves against the conditions and had to use horse to put their machinery around as Cars and trucks had frozen and were broken.

Hitler did not allow retreat, so the men froze and starved to death at their posts and the 6th army were surrounded by the Russians in 1943 and Hitler promoted the 6th army's General because he thought he was going to fight to the death, but after doing so the German commander surrendered to the Russians, however after a 300'000 sized army, only 90'000 survived.
