Like at Stalingrad, when they were trapped?
For my History A Level, my individual study was on the Battle Of Stalingrad. Makes me realise how much cooler the Russians ever were than the Germans. Fighting off ludicrous number of troops with few weapons, fucking fantastic.

Failure at Stalingrad was due to several factors
1) weather (did for Napoleon too)
2) poor resources (tanks that weren't suitable for the terrain as well as lack of air cover etc)
3) shit tactics - primarily the fact that they should not have been anywhere near there at that point, let alone fighting in the manner in which they were forced to
