| Might as well throw on top of that the 3 Greatest Russian Generals in history: General Mud, General Distance and General Winter. The Germans faced a Red Army that ALWAYS had a gigantic numerical advantage in tanks, and we're talking about some significantly higher quality tanks than the USA and UK ever had in North Africa. Germany played exceptionally well against a stacked deck vs Russia. There is a long list of other commanders who were exceptional on the Eastern Front.
All things considered, Europe definitely WAS NOT the "easier" front to fight on.
