They weren't great tacticians exactly. They just kept pushing more fodder towards the cannons until they overwhelmed them. I give credit to the average Russian soldier, but General January won the war for them.
No doubt. Of course, General January wasn't exactly a secret, which makes Barbarossa all the more perplexing.
Didn't Carlin say in one of those episodes that the German generals came to believe that the Soviet strategy was "count the number of Germans across the way, then count the number of bullets we have, and as long as we have at least one more bullet, let's engage them"?

Hitler believed that Blitzkrieg would work in Russia and they would have things sewed up long before winter truly set in. I have read that he genuinely believed that the Russian people wouldn't fight for the Soviets and would help his forces.
