I agree Chamberlain was weak but he would have been seen as a lunatic if he declared war on Russia, place is too damn big to fight a conventional war against, Napoleon found out the hard way and Hitler didn't learn anything from that mistake.

As a result they did nothing to build up their military. The Germans then used their superior military against the likes of France and other western European countries and within a relatively short period had overrun them all. Once the West was under their control, the German Chancellor tore up the "treaty" with Russia and TURNED EAST and went after their real enemy who had not adequately prepared for such an eventuality. Unfortunately for the Germans, Russia is a VERY BIG country, and the further the Germans advanced the longer became their supply lines. And then came the snow and the ice of winter. And then they had to take Stalingrad. But they made the mistake of bombing the hell out of the city and turning most of the city into piles of rubble. That gave the Russians the cover they needed to fight a "guerrilla type" of warfare and made the advancement of the German military extremely difficult and time consuming. And TIME was what was important for the Russians because they could then build up their strategic military equipment, especially their tanks and Katyushka rocket launchers, and eventually strike back hard against the depleting German military ......
