Operation Barbarossa

1941 CE · Sovyetler Birliği · military

On 22 June 1941, Nazi Germany launched a large-scale invasion of the Soviet Union under the name Operation Barbarossa.

This operation, which broke the 1939 non-aggression pact, is considered one of the largest land military operations in history. German forces initially advanced rapidly and captured vast territories; however, owing to Soviet resistance, logistical difficulties, and harsh winter conditions, they were halted before Moscow. By opening the Eastern Front, the operation profoundly influenced the course of the war.
