If you want to know what really was going on with the Soviet Union before and during W.W. II read this book. It answers a lot of question about the German Army Invasion and why the Russians were in the beginning shocked and disorganized.

I don’t think that is totally true, certainly not in Europe with conventional fighting. The Russian Armies were much stronger and seasoned than the western allies were.
Yeah, you can take a town by throwing your conscripts at it until they run out of ammo but that is a really stupid way to do it.
Meat grinders.
Of course a good part of it is that the nature of the Russian culture is "kill my neighbor's goat" and has been so for the last thousand years.
Envy kills.
It is a really dumb way to run a war but it is what they have kept doing repeatedly.
And, now, what FJB likely wants for our kids/grandkids.

Thank you.
