When Operation BARBAROSSA begins, the world will hold its breath … Adolf Hitler
Unternehmen Barbarossa (Operation Barbarossa), the code name for Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. The attack started at 03.15 hours, Sunday, 22 June 1941, with Germany and her allies crossing the 3,000 kilometre (1,800 mile) Soviet Union border with 3.5 million soldiers, 3,580 tanks, 7,184 artillery guns, 1,830 aircraft, and 750,000 horses.

After a decade of Stalin’s purges, the Soviet Union was unprepared for the onslaught that came in June. Stalin refused to believe the reports of a mounting invasion being prepared by the Germans, and so his armies and air force on the frontier were caught by surprise.

As in their earlier victories in France and the Low Countries the previous year, the Luftwaffe quickly gained air superiority, and helped panzer and motorized infantry spearheads punch holes through the Soviet front line. Barbarossa had three primary objectives – the Baltic states and Leningrad in the north, Moscow in the centre, and the economic resources of the Ukraine and southern Russia in the south.
