I mean, really.
you know, colossal losses, huge amounts.
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. So 1942, it's still in a really bad way, but Germany's in a really bad way too.

The attrition it suffered in 1941, it's winning itself to death in 1941.
The attrition it suffered in 1941, it's winning itself to death in 1941. So it's having these huge great encirclements like the encirclement of Kiev in September 1941, you know, capturing the further kind of best part of 700,000 Red Army troops, et cetera, et cetera.
