Field Marshal-General Erich Von Mainstein, he wrote about his defeat at Stalingrad after the war: “In winter 1942 I realized that we would not win in the war against the Soviet Union. We failed to maintain the far-stretching front in Russia. I understood the Soviet troops would finally crush us, moving step by step”.

I wonder how many more front line officers begun to wonder if the war with Russia was now on the turn?
