So, you know, the grain has gone, coal has gone, entire factories have gone, steel production goes down by kind of, you know, 80% in the Soviet Union in 1941 and into 1942. So in 1942, despite the vast amount of numbers of men that they have at their hands, I mean, they create 80 new divisions in the second half of 1941, for example.

I mean, Britain never has 80 divisions in the entire Second World War, division being about, rule of thumb, 15,000 men. So, you know, despite that, and that is because Stalin's meddling, the woeful state of the Red Army in 1941, et cetera, et cetera, which we've already sort of touched upon.
