Though the German's strategy and amount was great as well as adequate, the gear given to them to battle in was completely insufficient for the weather. The Extreme cold mixed with intense flurries was completely unexpected and the Geramn's thought out plan was shot down due to these extreme harsh conditions. Because of the conditions the plan became a complete failure.
