The Operation Barbarossa ( in German: Unternehmen Barbarossa ) was the codename given by Adolf Hitler for the planned invasion of the Soviet Union by Axis forces during 2GM.
The operation opened the Eastern Front, which became the largest theater of war, the scene of the biggest battles and brutal conflict in Europe.
Operation Barbarossa was a heavy blow to the unsuspecting Soviet forces suffered heavy casualties and lost large swathes of territory in a short time. However, the arrival of the Russian winter killed off the German plans to end the invasion in 1941. During the winter, the Red Army counterattacked, Hitler annulled the hopes of winning the battle of Moscow.
"Simple twist of fate or planning on the date on which years ago Napoleon Russia attacks? The truth is the last word of the reader.
