You are basically taking on a whole new beast, not just because Russia was a major superpower back then in many ways, but it was winter, in Russia. The Russians had occupied that region for many many years, so they, just like how the US lost the Vietnam War, were used to the terrain and took advantage of the fact their attackers did not. In Vietnam, US soldiers were not used to the jungle warfare tactics used by the Vietcong. In comparison, the Germans were not used to the extreme harsh temperatures of Russia during the winter. The Russian are accustomed to their environment, and their soldiers trained in it. A normal winter for Russia would cripple most countries and states, but the Russians had to keep things going in order to survive. So basically it boils down to who you are attacking and under what conditions you are attacking. If you were to attack a jungle dwelling civilization in THEIR jungles, then more than likely, you would be slaughtered. But if you attacked them in the open away from their comfort zone your chances of success raise drastically.
