Yes, that is true, I think, I recall we discussed this a couple of years ago. Later on I also found info that the summer 1941 was much warmer than in a long time and soon the rivers were lower than usual everywhere helping the Germans in their advance. ( unfortunately donīt have the book name with me now).
