You misunderstand...I think.When Stalin moved his eastern troops west, this occurred during the Stalingrad campaign, which began in Summer '42. At that time, the Japanese were busy fighting the Americans and were not pushing campaigns in China...hence my point. The Japs knew they were going to need everything they had to succeed against the Americans. Had the Japanese NOT been busy with the USA, Stalin likely would have had no choice but to bring those troops west anyway, since his military was getting their ass kicked by the Germans. But, then the Japs could have invaded the eastern USSR to help their buddies the Germans forcing the cold blooded killer Lil' Joey Stalin to fight a two front war, which his backward nation was ill prepared for. The Germans losing the Sixth Army at Stalingrad was the turning point and the Russians were successful because they used those eastern divisions and they had one of the best tanks of the war...the T-34...to say nothing of Hitler's bungling. That tank ran on gas not diesel, which allowed it to perform even in very cold temps.
