| The Battle for Moscow |
Hitler and his generals sent panzer groups from the north and south in the last two weeks of November. The north group got 21 miles from the city before General Winter came to the rescue of Russia. Since the Nazis had planned to take Russia before winter started, they were not equipped for the cold weather and snow. With temperatures at 60 degrees below zero, the Germans literally froze. German soldiers lit fires under the engines of their tanks for hours to get them warmed up. German soldiers were freezing to death while they slept.
However, the Red Army were able to pull reinforcements from Serbia and led a divesting counterattack. Hitler decided not to let his generals retreat and lost all confidence in him. All through December Hitler started to fire all of his top commanders. This led to Hitler naming himself commander-in-chief. On December 5, Hitler lost all former allies against Russia. This lead to the near capture of Hitler's prize army. Moscow, along with the Soviet Union, had been saved by mother nature yet again.
