'''Operation Barbarossa''', the largest military operation of all time, was [[Nazi Germany]]'s invasion of the [[Soviet Union]] which began in summer 1941.  It was planned for earlier in the year, but was delayed due to Germany's need to conquer [[Greece]] first after [[Italy]]'s disastrous effort to attack that country had met with failure.
