at the start of the battle, the german OKH had two options. Both where considered. They had a very limited capacity to transport vital supplies to the front. They had enough to send the ammunition and fuel for a drive on Moscow without winter equipment. Or, they could send the winter equipment, fuel and ammunition that was needed for defensive operations. They chose to send ammunition and fuel, but no winter coats. This resulted in the disaster in front of Moscow, and the loss of a lot of the elite leadership of the german army. I believe the only reasonable choice would be to realize that the campaign could not be won in 41 and plan for a 42 campaign. Instead they decided to launch a battle with the potential to lose to war.

Hundreds of songs. Two of my favorites are “Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition” and “Seig Heil Right in the Fuhrers Face”.

I like There’ll Always be An England, but I don’t like the commenters on YouTube videos who are afraid of their race becoming overshadowed by immigrants.

One of the Russian songs I like best from this era is “Moscow in May” (http://www.sovmusic.ru/english/text.php?fname=moscmay3). Very catchy tune, even if you don’t understand any Russian (which I don’t).
It’s slightly pre-war (1937) and it’s patriotic rather than military, but it shows up in an early sequence of The Battle of Russia, Part 1", one of Frank Capra’s “Why We Fight” series of films, accompanied by shots of a huge parade through Red Square (it starts at 8:50 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q1OKMlhRXQ).
