So many questions!

There are days when the kids have lots of questions about things, and then it seems to slow down for a while. In the past two days we have been busy trying to answer many questions. We found answers in the World Book Encyclopedia and online. These questions have come about in our everyday life, and most are connected with things we have been doing. I will add the inspiration for the question in parentheses for the ones I know.

How come Russia had a hard time defeating Germany in WWII if it is so much bigger?
