The Germans began their offensive anew in 1942 after the winter had passed and again met with success, but the Russians were bolstered by supplies from the Allies including some from the [[United States]] and their continued mobilization of their own great manpower reserves. Also, the addition of the [[T-34 tank]] gave them a weapon that was in many ways superior to any other tank that had been seen in the war. The [[Battle of Stalingrad]] in late 1942/early '43 was the turning point in the War on the Eastern Front, and a Nazi victory became practically impossible after that as the size of the Soviet forces and their fighting ability continued to grow.

Former [[GRU]] officer and defector [[Viktor Suvorov]] claims that the order to write a song for the liberation of the German-occupied Europe came from [[Joseph Stalin]]: "Stalin needed a song about the great war against Germany in 1941. And Stalin ordered such a song." ''[[The Sacred War]]'' was written. [[Youtube]] has identified the song as "inappropriate or offensive for some audiences."<ref>*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2N366xn6V4&t=132s The Sacred War!
