That, and the fookin snow!
And considering the Red Army never got any further than Berlin, entered into a pact with Germany before Barbarossa, I would say British military strength numbers against the Reich for the best part of two years, was a mismatch.
All the same, you let those red-tinted goggles get in the way of actual history.
The Russians would be goosestepping, too, if we hadn't kept the Germans open on two fronts.
I don't think so, myself. There wasn't really a second front to speak of until 1943, by which time the tide had already turned in the East.
