From Wikipedia: Barbarossa involved 600,000 motor vehicles and 750,000 horses -These numbers are absolutely staggering. The fact that these resources were allocated and still the Axis was unable to topple the Soviet Union is telling. -Don't mess with the Soviets on their home turf. Especially with Panzers generating huge clouds of dust with crappy air filters = a larger consumption of oil and spare parts. -Cool pieces of information. -great interview.
