Napoleon's experience is usually evaluated wrongly. What was his real problem? Not General Frost. The real problem for him was being a medieval war leader in nature. He sincerely believed that army has to eat from the land and medical service of the wounded is the task for prostitutes traveling with the army. He gathered a huge army of over 500000 men and and burst into Russia with such notions. These notions had been more or less correct in the rich, warm and well-fed Italy with its wine, cheese, pasta and sausages but not in the rather poor and harsh Russia. And add to that his sincere belief that the result of the war may be decided in just one so-called general battle. You win one decisive battle - like Austerlitz - and you win the war, the enemy surrenders. Yes, he won Borodino battle (although Russian sources reported otherwise) but for Russians it meant very little. Their army retreated but retreated in full order. And when Napoleon demanded surrender and favorable peace the answer was "How? We are only beginning to fight!". So essentially Napoleon won nothing. Staying in Russia with such a big army and almost non-existent logistics was impossible and finally he decided to retreat from Russia. And the big merit of Kutusov was to force him to retreat by the way ge came to Russia through totally ruined by his army lands. And it wasn't for long as this retreat became a flight.

By the way, Napoleon's knowledge of Russia was on the level with Hitler's. What was very strange because Russian nobility then was very Francophone, many of the high nobility even didn't know Russian and preferred to talk in French. He even considered Moscow as a capital of Russia although it wasn't since Peter the Great. The real administrative center of Russia was St Petersburg where Czar and his entourage lived and ruled. Moscow then was the historical capital having no big administrative importance.

@@colder5465 Borodino was not a victory for France as they lost many regiments and ammunition as Russia put up a stiff resistance and showed military prowess. Napoleon praised the Cossacks and was surprised at the toughness of the Russians. It was a battle Napoleon could not afford given the situation he was in and winter coming. Kutuzov retreated from Moscow with the famous words " Moscow is not Russia" with his army in good shape and stopped the French retreat from travelling over land with abundant resources to feed their army, and attacked the French in many places and when crossing the Berezina River.

More than one German General said and wrote after the war, "Only two people in history didn't know Russian winters are cold: Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler." Hubris. It's often stated that Germany lost the war when they didn't take Moscow. As a retired US Army senior officer and military historian, I disagree. Capturing Moscow wouldn't force the Soviets to surrender to the Germans any more than it had to the French. The problem was Hitler. Many have asked why the British or Americans didn't send people in to kill him; it wouldn't have been impossible. The reason was that Hitler was such a total failure as a military strategist that it was better to keep him in place because one of the great number of extremely competent German commanders would've taken his place.

He decided to take a shortcut back, he went through the forest and saw German soldiers. They behaved strangely. They didn't move. He walked up to them. They were sitting on the stumps in their greatcoats, frozen. He touched one of them and it fell.

Politicians make those decisions, not soldiers. Very few high- ranking, competent German officers thought attacking Russia was a good idea. Soldiers -- up to and including Generals and Field Marshals -- take their orders from politicians. When those politicians were Hitler and his syncophants, the soldiers paid the price.

This is just bad old German cope. "Frostbite took more of us than Russians" => (bullsh*t) "Our panzers were superior" => fact check : (german bullcr*p) => fact check : (coward liars) Let us do the analysis by extrapolation from another paradigm : To understand how much Germans lied in their records and writings post-war, I will just tell you the example of their invasion in Greece. They claimed a mere 500 dead and about 3000 injured, which is of course an extremely low number for a take over of a whole country that actually resisted. Sure, the British betrayed and run back to their ships without fighting at all - and the Germans entered via the British lines not the Greek ones. But there were battles in the Greek lines which lasted 3 days. So the 500 dead Germans is just suspiciously low given the fact - regardless of their small numbers - the Greeks were ultra well fortified, never surrendered prior to the general surrender of Greece (that was caused not out of the will of Greek people to surrender but rather because of the British treason - the Greeks were fighting the Germans precisely because of the British implication in Greece). Even if one wanted to take the German records straight, he would have to explain why Hitler went out of his way to express his admiration for Greeks stating that "they honoured their history" and that "of all the soldiers the Germans faced in battle, only the Greek soldiers stood out for their bravery and their sense of patriotic duty and stood to fight until the point of futility". Why would Hitler state so for Greece, a country he actually did not highly esteem of and planned to dismember giving its lands to allies that had already planned genocides of the indigenous Greeks (Bulgaria, Albania, Italy)? Well? Reality is revealed in the battle of Omorphoplagia, just a small battle occurring outside the main fortification lines between 15 men (and when bullets were running low the 12 left and 3 stayed, led by sergeant Dimitrios Itsios). The 3 Greeks held (the vanguard of) a whole German division for a whole day. They were totally disoriented by Greek tactics shooting them from all directions (=changing positions) and were thinking they were fighting a whole batailion. Once bullets run out the Germans called them out and (soon to be) general Schorner got enraged finding out he was fighting against 3 soldiers stating that just one tower manned by Dimitrios Itsios had killed more than 200 of his best soldiers!!!... and being enraged he shot Itsios which is the first war crime of Germans in their invasion of Greece. So according to Germans themselves, they lost 500 men... out of which half were killed by a single Greek, Dimitrios Itsios! LOL! THIS is how much Germans lie. A more modest estimate is that they lost 10 times that number and possibly 20 times that number, especially as they felt the need to disband almost all units that participated in the invasion and disperse the men in other ones. It is also very telling that no German soldier or officer who took part in the invasion in Greece ever wrote memoirs apart one low ranking officer who took part in the very first battle and was honest enough to write how much Germans were scared, for the first time, having to face this time true opposition : "The mountain became alive and spat out fire and steel on us", that is what he wrote. Sounds not really like a walk in the park. 500 dead? Half killed by a single guy? And Hitler feeling the need to express his admiration to the Greeks? LOL! If Germans felt the need to remain silent on facts, conceal, obfuscate and sugar coat and then to outright lie by that much on such a small part of the overall war front.... then imagine how much they were prone to lie on the events surrounding their biggest front by far.

There is one unpleasant thing about the General Frost: in Moscow there is a weather station which have been making everyday temperature measurements for more than 140 years. And you may find this records on the internet very easily. Ok, judging by these records, the temperature fell to minus 7 degrees Celcius only on 4th November. This temperature lasted for three days then raised to zero degrees. It fell to minus 15-18 degrees only for three days (11-13 of November) then rose again to minus 5 - minus 10 degrees and these temperatures lasted up to the time of Soviet counteroffensive in late December. No minus 35 degrees as Manstein tells us. Yeah, minus 5 - minus 10 isn't Mallorka or Malibu but it is not arctic cold as in Winter War with Finnland.

And we didn't understand why it's so cold in the room.

I have seen many old actual films of Operation Barbarossa. After the initial blitz in June/July 1941 there doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency in the body language of the Germans or the speed of the tanks. They seem to be taking their time. Even though its reported some were on amphetamines there is no fire in their eyes like " where are the Russians I can kill". It seems more like they are on a vacation road trip. I'm sure they lost a lot of pep after Hitler diverted sone of Army Central to the south. And yes they were tired and hungry.
