Operation Barbarossa [g] was the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany and many of its Axis allies, starting on Sunday, 22 June 1941, during World War II. It was the largest and costliest land offensive in human history, with around 10 million combatants taking part, [ 26 ] and over 8 million casualties by the end of the operation.
Be careful about superlatives, that is, until you’re talking about Operation Barbarossa, the surprise German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 and the nearly four years of war that followed on what the Germans called “the Eastern Front.”
On June 22nd, 1941, Operation Barbarossa was launched to begin the East Front - the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The invasion plans were optimistic: it was thought that Axis forces - through surprise, strength, and optimizations of the 'blitzkrieg' - could reach and capture the Soviet capital of Moscow in little more than eight weeks.
Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, is without a doubt one of the most momentous events of the 20th century. It marked the beginning of what in the Soviet Union would come to be known as the ‘Great Patriotic War’, and although it lies 80 years in the past, it is still extensively studied.
