A number of factors contributed to Germany's downfall in the east. 
Underestimating the ferocity of the Russian soldier, poor military 
leadership on Hitler's part, not preparing his armies for a winter 
campaign (He invaded June 22nd thinking Germany would win a 10 week war, 
never providing his troops with the winter gear needed.) Other factors 
also contributed but those didn't include American and Canadian forces 
until the war was already lost by June 1944
