'''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.

The Germans began their offensive anew in 1942 after the winter had passed and again met with success, but the Russians were bolstered by supplies from the Allies including some from the [[United States]] and their continued mobilization of their own great manpower reserves.<ref>https://videopress.com/v/0bp9xJfs</ref> Also, the addition of the [[T-34 tank]] gave them a weapon that was in many ways superior to any other tank that had been seen in the war. The [[Battle of Stalingrad]] in late 1942/early '43 was the turning point in the War on the Eastern Front, and a Nazi victory became practically impossible after that as the size of the Soviet forces and their fighting ability continued to grow.
