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.
