sounds like the brilliant German winter war fighting plan for Russia....they were sent to Russia in their summer uniforms without any winter gear available and when the offensive ground to a halt before Moscow, they froze their asses off! poor sods didn't even have white covers for their field grey uniforms!Not only those previous screw-ups our troops were sent to North Africa without winter gear........, in November....... The night gets below freezing during the winter. Guess none of the planners had ever been to a desert in the winter.
I was told that you could soon see German soldiers wearing womens fur coats (donations from the home front) and such stuff....must have been a hillarious sight...even though quite sad
