That said, he had ridiculously overwhelming numbers bristling with literal tons of armaments and materiel through Lend/Lease, going after an exhausted adversary that was on its last legs.
He did do great feats before all of that too though. He was in charge of some things with Barbarossa too, I think defending Moscow. But even before that, at Khakhin Gol he kicked the Japanese so hard they stopped thinking about war with the USSR whatsoever. Oh and after the initial winter war mess I think Stalin put him in charge to fix the mess, and it worked.
