            again I like the red army as much as the next guy but Stalingrad was to reinforce a "beach head", if Japan wanted to set a defensive line at Hokkaido or further south, the soviets had 0 capacity to hold on to a beachhead they invested in defending and no way of ahcieving naval superiority really
