Textbook description of Hitler's Barbarossa Plan: On June 22, 1941, fascist Nazi Germany reneged on its treachery and blatantly tore up the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, gathered its vassal states to launch a full-scale war of aggression against the Soviet Union, and the peace-loving Soviet army and people rose up under Stalin's leadership to resist and launched the Great Patriotic War.
For the description of the reasons for the outbreak of this Soviet-German war, I believe that it is the true manifestation of the bloody history of that year, the Nazis will always be the bloodthirsty demons of war, but there are still some differences in whether these are convincing views, the German army launched operation Barbarossa before the Soviet army is really not prepared at all, today we look at a plan before the Soviet Union: the Great Thunderstorm Plan, more understanding of this plan, can once again prove this problem.
"The Great Thunderstorm Plan" was a clear plan of the Soviet army to try to preemptively attack Germany and dominate Europe before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, don't be nervous, the Soviet Union does exist and intend to implement this plan to start a war with Germany. The date of implementation of the Thunderstorm plan is actually dozens of days earlier than the Barbarossa plan, and there will not be too much gap in the number of troops, so the question is, why are there so many Soviet troops on the Soviet-German border?
In Operation Barbarossa, the German results were very surprising, the number of prisoners was as many as 6 million, so many Soviet troops deployed on the border, just a routine defense against the Germans? Why at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, there were actually so many armed forces on the Soviet border, but they were all defenseless, which can be fully understood as the Soviet army was intending to implement the offensive plan, and suddenly in the process of army assembly and mobilization, the German anti-general I army immediately appeared on the front line chaos.
The Soviet Union lost a large number of excellent officers in the previous Great Purge, resulting in their coordination ability and tactics being incomparable with the Germans. If the Soviet Union attacks first, it will become an aggressor in its international status, will be under the pressure of public opinion, and may not be supported by the United States, Britain and other countries after that, which is why the "Great Thunderstorm" plan has not been strongly implemented in the implementation, and the opinions within the soviet military leadership are not very unified, and nazi Germany, directly ordered by Hitler, Operation Barbarossa deploys troops at the fastest speed, the logistical support is unprecedented, and the execution of the operation is unmatched by the Soviet side.
Many people say that the so-called great thunderstorm plan did not exist at all, that it was impossible for the Soviet Union to attack anything before Germany, etc., but to know that the Soviets never really regarded the Germans as friends, and the Germans did not regard Stalin as friends, hitler and Stalin knew that they were only temporarily using each other for their own interests.
Stalin knew that before the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was torn up, the Soviet army did not have much certainty of defeating the Germans, so the war readiness had been prepared, and it was helpless to take the initiative to attack the German army, but a large-scale fierce battle between the two sides knew that according to the situation at that time, it was impossible to avoid, if the Soviet Union really attacked before Barbarossa, the Soviet army was likely to collapse like the French and Polish armies, and at this uncertain moment, the German Barbarossa operation began, and the Soviets did not have to think about it. I can only accept the offer!
At the beginning of 1993, Colonel Danilov of Russia published the complete war plan for 1941 of the Soviet General Staff in the famous Austrian Military Magazine. The document comes from the Central Archives of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR. And documents show that Stalin had approved the Thunderstorm Plan in May 1941, but had not received rapid troop deployment and implementation, and hitler's Barbarossa Plan had begun in June of that year, and Hitler and Nazi Germany had already taken the lead.
