How were the Soviets able to repel the German army?

Group: Tanvi, Newton, Siddhant, Rafael


The two main reasons that the Soviets were successful in resisting the German invasion were bad weather conditions, which slowed down the Germans greatly, and the use of the Scorched Earth Policy, where they destroyed everything that the Germans could've captured and benefited from. This included farms and any vehicles that were left behind.
Some other ways in which the Soviets were able to repel the German army were the relocation of the weapons factories and workers eastward, away from German reach. They reassembled these factories and continued to supply themselves at a constant rate. Another significant way was the help the Soviets received from USA and Britain, who also gave them supplies to help battle Germany.
