Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Barbarossa (Encore)

On June 22, 1941, German forces crossed into the Soviet Union. It was, and remains, the largest military operation in human history. The force that the Germans assembled for the invasion was staggering, consisting of over 3 million men.


However, the decision to go to war with the Soviets and break the alliance Germany had with them has puzzled historians for decades. 


It ultimately was an extremely costly failure that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people. 


Learn more about Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
