Denver this just isn't true. Russia weren't able to hold on because of our intelligence, they were able to hang on because it's a huge place, and most importantly, winter hit. Hitler got it badly wrong.

We were on our arse at this stage, and were a million miles away from being able to initiate any kind of counter offensive.
