The Russians were great believers in human wave attacks. Simply keep sending your young and poorly armed Russian soldiers against the Germans in such great numbers that the Germans use up all their bullets killing them. Horrifically enough, this bloody strategy worked. Stalin didn't care, the only thing Stalin cared about was keeping himself in power.

The poor Russian soldiers had a simple choice to make, either attack the Germans armed or unarmed, or be summarily executed by your own comrades. It makes you wonder which side was really worse, the Nazis or the Soviets. Hitler killed millions in his concentration camps, but the blood on his hands was only a fraction of that which was on Stalin's.

Last but not least, you may think that it is the soldiers who win wars, and not the supplies they need to fight, but you would be wrong. From time immemorial it has been known that it is logistics which win or lose wars. Amateurs discuss tactics, professionals discuss logistics.

Tell me iPHantom of your personal military experience. Where did you learn what you know? I learned much of what I know from my father and grandfather, both of whom served. My grandfather fought during the war, he had actually been in the Army for 10 years before the war started. As for myself, I have 8 years of active duty and reserve experience, and I attended and graduated several schools specializing in various types of warfare.

You don't have to answer, you'll just say the usual emotionally-charged nonsense typically spouted by know-nothings with strong opinions and weak sense. You'll conveniently repeat something you've read or heard from somewhere or someone else. Nothing but the sound of waves.
