Saw a short Stalingrad documentary about two huge . . .

disadvantages Germans had during winter. 1) Not a lot of layered clothing but the actual killer was the requirement to wear a steel pot at all times. The steel pot acted as a radiator and kept German body heat much lower that Russians who wore a lot of woolen headgear instead of steel. 2) Germans were just dropping dead where they stood or sat. They sent special teams to autopsy hundreds of deceased and found nearly ZERO body fat. They could not retain heat or feed their hearts. In Germany they hustled out a "paste" (think potted meat) to help offset the demands of their metabolisms. When the paste was issued even more troops died. Their stomachs and systems couldn't handle the dosage of new fats. Bad time to be a German ground pounder.
