Well, everyone will praise their own contribution more (given that both sides here are winners).

But Hitler must have been shocked at what Russians threw at him. Brutal war, take no prisoners and millions upon millions of soldiers.

"millions upon millions of soldiers"

That shouldn't have been a shock to Hitler, not even an unknown information. In the Russian Civil War¹ that preceded WW2, the Red Army amassed well over five million soldiers, and the soviet's control over the country and subsequently over the army enlistments could only improve since then.
