On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany's iron horse suddenly and quietly crossed the German-Soviet border into the Soviet Union. The unsuspecting Soviet frontier troops were still immersed in the hypocritical Soviet-German friendship treaty, and in the face of the German crossing, they greeted them with good wine and good food, but what was waiting for them was a rain of Bullets from prussians. Lying on his Kremlin bed in the early hours of the next morning, Stalin watched the war reports from the front over and over again, and he fell into endless contemplation. Because it was only on August 23, 1939, that the Soviet Union and Germany had signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact and jointly divided Poland. Even though Stalin had foreseen that Hitler would make a move on the Eastern Front, he did not expect that the Germans would move so quickly! It was not long before the Soviet high command drew up plans for a major thunderstorm invasion of Western Europe, and it was clear that the German invasion had completely broken the Russian plan. Not long ago, Hitler and his aides said that the Russians were an inferior people derived from it, that they were as despicable and shameless as the Jews. In the near future they will be completely removed from the earth and replaced by good Germans! At this moment, the plan to attack England has been shelved, and we can pretend to attack Britain and instead implement the Barbarossa Plan and completely eliminate the Slavs.
Hitler and his staff
On the side of the bed, do not allow others to snore. It can also be applied to the Soviet Union and Germany during World War II. The cake was divided unevenly with only so many people, so when the news of the German invasion of the Soviet Union came out, the United States and Britain were happy to hear that in their view, these two countries were not a good thing, so let them fight for a lose-lose situation.
On June 22, nearly 5 million people from 144 divisions of the German Army Group North, Army Group South, and Army Group Center headed for the Soviet Union under the cover of more than 4,000 aircraft. Due to the brutal purge of the Soviet Union before the war, many outstanding officers were killed, resulting in a great reduction in the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army. In the face of the steel torrent of the German army, the Soviet Red Army was defeated and retreated, and there was no way to fight back. Three days before the start of the war, the Soviet Union lost more than 2,800 aircraft and 1,600 tanks, and suffered more than 600,000 casualties!
A torrent of German steel
In the second week of the war, the Soviet Air Force and armored forces were almost completely lost, with more than 2.8 million casualties and more than 750,000 prisoners. At this moment, the Soviet soldiers saw the German army as if they were ghosts and only cared about fleeing for their lives, and they had long forgotten the belief in defending their families and defending the country. Looking at the war reports from the front, Hitler danced excitedly in his office, while Stalin could not hide his loss of defeat. In the sixth week of the war, the German army penetrated more than 600 kilometers into the Territory of the Soviet Union, completely destroying a large number of military bases and cities in the Soviet Union, and the whole Country of the Soviet Union fell into a panic!
Stalin was not knocked out in the face of the Germans' strength, and he then transferred Zhukov, who was in the Far East, to the Western Front, a man known to the Russians as the god of war, who would join Stalin in defending the Soviet Union and Moscow. And the war also completely evolved into a life-and-death showdown between two great nations, which was not only a contest between Hitler and Stalin, but also the final decisive battle between prussians and Slavs in nearly a hundred years.
Zhukov
Fascism continued to run rampant until the following year, and the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union was fought with great difficulty. The Germans launched a massive offensive against three Soviet strongholds of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kiev. The two sides threw tens of millions of troops along the northern and southern fronts to fight on a front thousands of kilometers long, with an average of nearly 10,000 people falling on the land every day. In the face of the steel torrent of the German army, the Soviets all went forward to fight the Germans, and on July 17, 1942, the German fascists, who had a premonition that something was wrong, launched the largest Battle of Stalingrad in the Soviet-German War, and in order to win the victory, Hitler invested the most elite 6th Army totaling more than 2 million people. Stalin also issued the final order, retreating to the death of the prisoner, vowing to defend Moscow and Stalingrad to the death. At the same time, the Germans on the northern front also dispatched more than 1.8 million people to launch military operations against Moscow.
In order to defend these two cities, the Soviet Union implemented the most brutal scorched earth policy, and after a long and long battle, the German army finally broke the sand under these two heroic cities. A total of 1.3 million troops were lost, and the Soviet Union also paid 3 million military and civilian casualties!
Battle of Stalingrad
After these brutal battles, Germany's elite and living forces were completely buried in the Soviet Union, and then all strategic initiative was lost. The battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history, ensued, in which the last of the German ace armored units was wiped out, and the Soviets switched to offense. On June 22, 1944, at this critical juncture three years after the outbreak of the war, Stalin issued a proclamation to Berlin, and tens of millions of Red Army marched towards Berlin as if the German army had entered the Soviet Union. And the war was fought for three years at this time when the Wehrmacht and the Germans were like birds of prey, and they had a fear of the Soviet Union! At the end of 1944 Soviet troops entered Poland and Czechoslovakia, and in March 1945 soviet troops entered the German border. On April 16, 1945, the Soviets launched their final battle against the German capital Berlin, and on April 30, Hitler, the culprit of the war, committed suicide in the bunker, and germany surrendered on May 8, thus ending the war.
Germany surrendered
According to post-war statistics, since the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the German army has mobilized a total of 17 million people to participate in the war, and more than 8 million people have died, of which 80% died on the Eastern Front! During the same period, the Soviet Union mobilized a total of 35 million people to participate in the war, including 20 million troops. In the end, more than 65.8 million military and civilian casualties and more than 26.5 million deaths. The Soviet-German battlefield also became the most brutal battle in the history of the world
