One of Hitler's many big mistakes was sending his troops into the USSR without winter uniforms, where they froze to death.

Hitler also expected his armies to "live off the land" and when the Russkies destroyed all the food they couldn't take with them during a retreat, the Wehrmacht found itself going hungry before the first year of the invasion
was out. By the time of Stalingrad, concentration camp inmates were eating better than the troops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=occOOTk6OKY
