228 thousand frostbitten. Most of the equipment failed at -10 -15. Weapon lubrication freezes. Simply, the Wehrmacht was not ready for the winter campaign.

Further the main reason only part of the army undertook offensive in 1942 was lack of fuel to conduct such a lengthy operation and munitions stock piles not replenished by then.

Hitler's war was not designed for continuous operations and campaign, that would have required total war economy.
Logic is wrong. The Wehrmacht had enough fuel and ammunition for the war in the USSR, Italy, France. Large-scale submarine war. FAA rockets.

1) Wrong: most of the equipment did not fail at -10-15 :if most of the equipment failed, the Soviets would be in Berlin at the end of the winter .


2) Wrong : 228000 frostbitten is less than 10 % of the more than 3 million Germans who fought during the winter : More than 90 % of the Ostheer did not suffer from frostbite, because they had adequate clothing .

There is only a relative relation between frostbite and winter equipment : winter equipment does not exclude frostbite : a lot of the frostbite victims had winter equipment /clothing ,but, if they didn't have winter clothing/equipment, they would not suffer from frostbite, but they would be dead .

In Wehrmacht there were horses, soldiers. All this was at war. Russians have been cruelly beaten in summer - autumn fights. Opportunities it wasn't serious to develop success even in light of the known problems with climate.

They froze too, but have managed not to freeze extremities.

Captured in December 1941. There are no winter clothes, they are alive. To them it is just a little cold. :)

1.1 million Soviet attacked 1.7 million Germans and achieved success. With such a balance of forces and means, the Soviet victory is no more than a misunderstanding.

Germans captured in december while not wearing winter clothes,proves that they did not need winterclothes .

The aim of winter clothes is to limit the number of freezings, not the number of POWs.

Thus your pictures are own-goals .

If it is very cold, no freezings (more than 90 % of the Ostheer ) mean winter clothes, but freezings do not mean no winterclothing .

And why would the Germans need winter clothes on november 28 ? Russian winter does not start on november 28 .

Wrong figures from the Soviet period and wrong conclusion : on the average, the Soviet winter offensive was a failure .

This does not mean : because the failure to capture Moscow .

Guderian and Hoeppner were fired at the request of Kluge because they retreated without informing Kluge .

Other panzer generals as Kleist and Hoth were not fired .

How Hitler could win the war. It's impossible, to be so stupid. The history of the Second World War is a gigantic sabotage. Hundreds and hundreds of erroneous decisions of Hitler. The Germans fought wrong!

You are still at least 176 erroneous decisions short of "hundreds". For hundreds and hundreds, you would need to list what... another 376 at least? :)
And then you can begin to prove that those were indeed erroneous decisions.
