The main causes of German failure were the underestimated capabilities of the Soviet Union and the fierce resistance of the Soviet Army. Also, German war planners failed to create coherent, mutually supporting phased goals, and relied on hugely inadequate logistical schemes.
The grave situation in which the beleaguered German army found itself towards the end of 1941 was due to the increasing strength of the Red Army, compounded by a number of factors which in the short run severely restricted the effectiveness of the German forces. Chief among these were their overstretched deployment, a serious transport crisis affecting supply and movement, extreme weather and the eroded strength of most divisions. The infantry deficit that appeared by 1 September 1941 was never made good. For the rest of the war in the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht would be short of infantry and support services.
Parallels have been drawn with Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

Ok, June 1941? The Germans were fighting on all fronts, the French, the English, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Norway, so the Germans didn't have all their men against the Russians yet the Russians did. It was also the coldest winter for years and the Germans couldn't face it, they were marching for days, they didn't have enough food or clothes, and they were not too healthy when it came to battle - then again neither were the Russians. I think it would have been mainly numbers, but not too sure. I do know that it was a very tight one because Russia had all those revolutions and what-not.

The long cold winters demoralised the germans,the tanacity of the russians in there fighting and also the lack of supplies getting to the front lines.

The long, bitter Russian winter demoralised the German troops.
