Shells win battles. Troops win wars
Germans called infantry the queen of all arms, soviets called artillery the god of war. We know who won.
Never let a good line get in the way of statistics

The Red Army was double the Germans, who had to fight on two fronts. Troops win wars. Artillery wins battles.
This statistic alone doesn't tell you anything because according to a Land forces production overview table here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_World_War_II
USSR had Germany beaten in artillery pieces production 5:1.
