The Soviet Union was able to turn the tide and finally win the war, mainly due to the following factors:

One is the strong leadership of the Soviet * * * production party. 1941On June 30th, the Soviet Union established the National Defense Commission headed by Stalin, and put forward that "everything is for the front line! Everything is for war! " Slogan. In order to straighten out the command relationship, the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces was established on August 8. In order to strengthen the Party's leadership over the army, the Soviet Union sent 654.38+500,000 party member and 3.5 million members to the front. During the war, the Soviet Union absorbed 5,365,438 people+900,000 people from party member.

The second is the fighting spirit of the Soviet people. Fighting for the motherland, every Soviet killed the enemy heroically, and a number of heroic models, represented by Matro Soff and Zoya, emerged. According to statistics, during the war, 1 1600 Soviet soldiers and civilians became "Soviet heroes", and 7 million Soviet soldiers were awarded various medals and medals.

Third, human and material resources are abundant. 194 1 year, the population of the Soviet union is about 65438+800 million. After the war broke out, the Soviet Union mobilized 34.5 million people. At the end of World War II, the total strength of Soviet troops reached 6.5438+0.28 million. During the war, the Soviet Union produced 134 10000 aircraft, 102800 tanks and 825200 guns and mortars.

Fourth, it has advanced operation theory. Soviet military theorists put forward the theory of large-scale operations very early. During the war, the Soviet army successfully solved a series of military problems such as organizing and implementing deep strategic attacks on a wide range of fronts, and ensured the victory of the Great Patriotic War. In addition, a number of outstanding commanders and generals, represented by Marshal zhukov, emerged in the Soviet Union.

Fifth, its vast territory provided strategic depth for the Soviet Union to resist German aggression. The Soviet Union covers an area of 22.274 million square kilometers, spanning 1 1 time zones. At the beginning of World War II, although the Germans quickly occupied European countries, they were unable to swallow up the huge Soviet Union in one breath. When the Germans approached Moscow, the Soviet government still controlled more than two thirds of the country's territory. In addition, the cold weather also helped the Soviet Union. The cold in Moscow caused the Germans to suffer a devastating blow at the gates of Moscow, just like Napoleon's army invaded Russia in 18 12.
