The Red Army kept the Nazis engaged in Stalingrad for five months, with proper insurgent guerrilla warfare, all whilst they were building up their own major offensive to leap frog the German lines and encircle the Germans engaged in the Battle of Stalingrad.
This offensive would ultimately be the one to go all the way to Berlin.
The Germans were poorly supplied and equipped for A prolonged Russian winter.
The Red Army defeated the Nazis, not the weather. I know you were not being flippant as what you posted is the usual trope, but the Red Army kept the Germans there, in order for the weather to make a difference.
