The Russians won because of the weather, the Russian people, the T-34, moving their industry to the Urals, Zhukov, and the might of the once great American industrial complex via Lend Lease. Stalin was a blood-thirsty hindrance if anything.

There fixed it for you ;)

Hitler’s strategy left something to be desired as well. Too many goals and not enough time. His refusal to allow any withdrawl/retreat after the Soviets absorbed the opening blows and counterattacked doomed too many men.
