Operation Barbarossa

On June 22, 1941, the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was abolished, and the German army invaded Soviet territory. This operation, known as "Operation Barbarossa," caught the Soviet army by surprise, allowing the Germans to advance rapidly. However, the Soviets, with their powerful military, did not surrender territory easily.

This is the first in a four-part series depicting the early battles between Germany and the Soviet Union.
