The German army held drives begging for coats during the Winter of 1941-42. They were supposed to have defeated Russia prior to winter.

It’s winter again in the Ukraine? Isn’t this where we came in?

War is hell. War under a snow cover is even more hell.

And yet, like two weary fighters in the ring, circling each other, neither able to land an effective punch to knock the other out, they shuffle, unwilling to quit or even make a truce of some kind.

The clothes didn’t arrive until spring. Oops.
