All told, I don't think it turned out too badly for the Germans. It forced the Soviets into consolidated the Stalingrad pocket instead of maybe pursuing Big Uranus and cutting off all of Army Group Don. That would have made it the largest defeat suffered by the German Army in World War II.
Winter Storm doesn't really fit with what the History Club was talking about though.

"Guys and tanks don't really go well together." World War II trivia is widely known and everyone thinks of men as tankers as a weird idea. I doubt that that would be true if there were any male tank aces of note. That poster in Yukari's room would just be her version of a moe tank commander!

They built 50,000 Shermans. You wouldn't need that much unless you were fighting a war.
