Operation Barbarossa (22 Jun 1941 Jahr – 5 Dez 1941 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

- German invasion of Soviet Union
- Soviet Union had signed a non-aggression pact, which Germany broke when they attacked
- ultimately Germany lost, as the Russians had a well-equipped army and the Germans were unprepared for the cold weather
- known as 'the beginning of the end', as Germany's failure here led to them fighting a 2 front war
