He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

I remember reading about the White Death Simo Haya who used to eat snow so his breath condensation would not give him away.
Simo also favoured iron sights saying a scope had ones head to high, he was badly disfigured by an explosive bullet which hit him in the face the Russians sure got a good lesson in tactics from the Finns on what not to do in War.

True Ovidio but with battle casualties conservatively estimated at 20 million in WWII (Some pundits say 50 million !) Stalin was not really interested in the meat loss just get the job done no matter the death rate.
