Stalin received many warnings but was caught off guard when Hitler's troops invaded. For the Nazi regime in Berlin, this campaign was a war of annihilation against "Bolshevism." Hitler believed in a swift victory. However, the war against the Soviet Union became a disaster for the Wehrmacht. On 22 June 1941, Hitler's Wehrmacht invades the Soviet Union. Without declaring war, more than 3 million soldiers cross the borders. The invasion had been carefully planned under the code name "Barbarossa". For Hitler, the campaign is also a battle of two worldviews. At the end of 1941, rain and snow stop the advance. Even a new offensive in 1942 brought no resounding success. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary - History Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2FjRPgV Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #History ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary - History is dedicated to bringing high-class documentaries to you on YouTube for free.
