The true picture of what happened on the Eastern Front didn't begin to emerge till 50 years later, at least to western historians. Relying on horse-drawn transport to invade Western Europe, with advanced road and rail systems, was a successful strategy. But when that strategy encountered the Russian Steppe and an enemy who would simply not give in, the results were very different. That's not a reflection of the other European nations who were forced to face Nazi aggression, only that the Red Army was willing to pay any price to defend the homeland.
