ЗИМНЕЕ снаряжение СОВЕТСКОГО и НЕМЕЦКОГО солдата во второй мировой

December 1941. It's minus forty degrees outside Moscow. A German soldier, who had fought halfway across Europe, stands in leather boots with iron heels and a summer cap without earflaps. Next to him, in the opposite trench, stands a Red Army soldier in felt boots, a fur hat with earflaps, and a padded jacket. Within a few weeks, Army Group Center alone would suffer more frostbite than wounded. Entire divisions would lose up to a third of their personnel—without a single shot. Simply from the cold. Why did the army that had conquered France in six weeks freeze to death outside Moscow? What did the Soviet soldier have that the Germans didn't? And is it true that the outcome of the war in the East was decided not by tanks or planes, but by simple rolled wool and a piece of cotton wool? You'll find out in this video.
