First, the nazis did not have horses. They had tanks. I believe that you are thinking about Napoleon. Next, I never said that them being divided was not Hitler's fault. I believe that it cost him the war; however, we must remember that Russia was not alone in fighting Nazi Germany. The USA and Great Britain were helping Russia. Even though the USA had to fight Japan too, the allies still barely won the war and it took them months to march through Nazi Germany. Sure, Russia is huge; however, the most important parts of it are those nearest Germany. The Russians could hide in the snow and the surrounding countryside, but the Nazis nearly crushed them as it is. And as it is includes their army fighting in North Africa and Western Europe in addition to Russia. The Russian winter would have been devistating to their forces; however, it would only delay the nazis if the Russians did not have help.
