Around it from top to bottom were heaped bundles of hemp and shives, which I tore down; and, as I worked my way to the ground, sacks full of flour appeared. Now I joyfully called all my comrades so that we might dispose of the booty. In the village we saw sieves; these we took to sift the flour mixed with chaff an inch long; and, after that, we refilled the sacks. ... Then the question of carrying and dividing the grain arose, but it occurred to me that I had seen a horse in one of the houses. Everyone immediately hurried to find the horse. We found two instead of one, but unfortunately they were both colts, and one could not be used at all. We took the largest, placed two sacks on it, and started out very slowly.

The most obvious example is Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia in 1812. The German High Command's inability to grasp some of the essential hallmarks of this military calamity highlights another angle of their flawed conceptualization and planning in anticipation of Operation Barbarossa. Like Hitler, Napoleon was the conqueror of Europe and foresaw his war on Russia as the key to forcing England to make terms. Napoleon invaded with the intention of ending the war in a short campaign centred on a decisive battle in western Russia. As the Russians withdrew, Napoleon's supply lines grew and his strength was in decline from week to week. The poor roads and harsh environment took a deadly toll on both horses and men, while politically Russia's oppressed serfs remained, for the most part, loyal to the aristocracy. Worse still, while Napoleon defeated the Russian Army at Smolensk and Borodino, it did not produce a decisive result for the French and each time left Napoleon with the dilemma of either retreating or pushing deeper into Russia. Neither was really an acceptable option, the retreat politically and the advance militarily, but in each instance, Napoleon opted for the latter. In doing so the French emperor outdid even Hitler and successfully took the Russian capital in September 1812, but it counted for little when the Russians simply refused to acknowledge defeat and prepared to fight on through the winter. By the time Napoleon left Moscow to begin his infamous retreat, the Russian campaign was doomed.</p></blockquote> <p>The invasion by Germany was called the Great Patriotic War by the Soviet government, to evoke comparisons with the victory by Alexander I over Napoleon's invading army.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStahel2010337_238-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStahel2010337-238"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>229<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In addition, the Germans, like the French, took solace from the notion they had been defeated by the Russian winter, rather than the Russians themselves or their own mistakes.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStahel201030_239-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStahel201030-239"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>230<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cultural_impact">Cultural impact</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=French_invasion_of_Russia&amp;action=edit&amp;section=25" title="Edit section: Cultural impact"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG/220px-Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="156" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG/330px-Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG/440px-Dvortsovajaplo%C5%A1t%C5%A1adDSCN0606.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2446" data-file-height="1736" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Palace_Square" title="Palace Square">Palace Square</a> with <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Column" title="Alexander Column">Alexander Column</a></figcaption></figure> <p>An event of epic proportions and momentous importance for European history, the French invasion of Russia has been the subject of much discussion among historians.
