Kerry Dunne. World War II’s Eastern Front: Operation Barbarossa. 2018.
Keywords:Operation Barbarossa,World War II,Nazi
Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin signed a non-aggression pact, but in June 1941, Hitler launched a
massive invasion of the Soviet Union. This operation is known as "Operation Barbarossa."
Germany split its military resources between fighting on the newly created Eastern Front and
the already existing Western Front during Operation Barbarossa. Russian citizens resisted the
Nazis' attempts to seize control of their cities for years and kept going without giving up, the
failed sieges of Stalingrad and Leningrad turned out to be the "nails in the coffin '' for the Nazi
forces.
Commager, Henry Steele, excerpt from “The story of the second world war”

Hitler promised the German people victory but he was only filled with broken promises. The
german army was dragged hundreds of miles and smashed army after army. As the german
army moved further the red army came to a new tactic of Scorched Earth bruning everything
then retreating to leave nothing for the advancing German.

Every German officer involved had extensive experience on the Eastern Front between 1941
and 1945. The principal author, for instance, led an army group, a panzer division, and a
succession of armies. Leningrad and the surrounding areas, for instance, may receive up to
twenty-eight inches of snow in severe winters, but less than two inches in mild winters.
Watercourses to the south of Leningrado frequently freeze over by mid-November, and
temperatures there may drop as low as -40°F. In mild winters, the mercury may drop as low as
-20°F.
Most of what I looked at were reports from the battlefield or what the people who wrote them
saw and heard. Most of the people are from the United state apartment and were reported to
the fact of war time. Most of these were from after the war to near present day. The use of these
reports can be used in many ways. By looking back at historical occurrences, we can prevent
repeating the mistakes of the past. In fields like politics, economics, and international relations,
this is especially crucial. History is a recount of human experiences, actions, and happenings. It
helps us understand how societies, cultures, and people have changed over time. It also helps
us understand the present and predict what will happen in the future.Knowing the background
history of current events is crucial to understanding them completely. A framework for
understanding modern issues is provided by history, allowing people to make well-informed
decisions.Understanding history helps people become more socially conscious by bringing to
light the hardships and successes of various social groups. This knowledge can help foster
empathy and a deeper comprehension of the range of human experiences.Recognizing trends
that result in conflicts can be made easier by comprehending the origins and development of
World War II. Through the identification of precursors and the resolution of underlying issues,
policymakers can endeavor to avert comparable major confrontations in the future.The
catastrophic effects of World War II, such as the death toll and extensive devastation, highlight
how crucial international cooperation and diplomacy are. Examining this war can motivate
initiatives to advance world peace, cooperation, and conflict resolution.There were horrific
violations of human rights during World War II, such as the Holocaust. In response to these
atrocities, the significance of human rights and the dignity of every person became apparent.
The lessons learned during this time still have an impact on global efforts to defend human
rights.There were horrific violations of human rights during World War II, such as the Holocaust.
