They were not comparable in terms of military resources, fighting quality, or for that matter in moral standing or values.

On the eastern Front, the Nazi occupiers ordered the rebuilding of mosques, prayer halls, and madrasas — previously destroyed by Moscow — and the re-establishment of religious rituals and celebrations.
