this became especially true during the retreat in the late fall.
much of the army was soon a mob, with little cohesion and no effectiveness.
this in itself would not be too great of a detriment, except for the impact on those units that were still intact.
there were several cases during the retreat where mobs of soldiers broke into the few warehouses that contained supplies and destroyed more than they ate and leaving little or nothing for those fighting in the rear guard.
there were several cases during the retreat where mobs of soldiers broke into the few warehouses that contained supplies and destroyed more than they ate and leaving little or nothing for those fighting in the rear guard.
the worse case of this was in smolensk.
at a major warehouse bureaucrats insisted that the soldiers must be with their units before they would be issued food.
the troops couldn't handle this stupidity and rioted, demolishing the warehouse and much of the food that was stored there.
in another case, at the crossing of the berezina, thousands of soldiers in these mobs panicked when they were attacked by the russians.
in their desperate attempt to cross the bridge it broke, and at least 10,000 - 20,000 soldiers died or were captured.
the final factor was the weather.
first it was too hot making it a dry, dusty march to moscow.

then when the retreat began, it was too cold at first.
this was a bone-chilling well below zero cold that few had experienced before.
first to die were the weak who, too exhausted to walk, laid down and died.
as the little food supplies they had ran out, the strong got weaker and they too began to die.
but then the weather changed.
there was a warm spell which thawed the frozen roads slowing down the march even more.
there was a warm spell which thawed the frozen roads slowing down the march even more.
roads that were heavily rutted, but solid soon were quagmires of mud.
streams that were once frozen were quick moving and obstacles that had to be overcome.
rivers that could have been crossed without bridges now needed bridges.
all of which took precious time and energy, something the army did not have.
then once again the weather took a turn for the worse this time far colder than before.

thousands died in their sleep overcome by exhaustion and exposure.
by the time the army crossed into poland in early december, less than 100,000 exhausted, tattered soldiers remained of the 600,000 proud soldiers who crossed the nieman five months before.
