All over trhe map. Your analysis is deeply flawed. I repeat for the THIRD time, read what the GERMANS said about their own troops and their own replacements. Oh, and the Siberians weren't supermen. They were merely fresh.
You might actually read something, like Richard Overy's "Why the Allies Won." It's been pretty well received by most of the military people.
Rummy was right.

Yeah well read about what shape the Russians were in with the population starving and reports of eating children etc etc .
And that is just the point the Siberian troops were fresh and without them the Russians would have lost . Thanks for making my point
There is one analogy though
The Ukranians welcomed Hitler as a liberator and would have fought against the Russians with him but he treated them even worse and they fought on the side of the Russians
Same as the Iraqis turning on aL Qaeda because they were worse
