On This Day In History
1812: Napoleon's Grande Armee invades Russia

Quote Of The Day

"The winter was our disaster. We became the victims of Russia's climate."
(Napoleon Bonaparte, in a letter to his wife,the Empress Marie Louise.)

You would have thought that Napoleon's folly would have served as a lesson to Hitler, wouldn't you?

Everything Counts in large amounts, especially leibensraum. And Russia has large amounts of it; although not enough, apparently.
