Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Barbarossa

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.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Late Bloomers’ is a novel about arranged marriage, divorce and dating later in life

Dating can be difficult and confusing at any age – but especially after the end of a 36-year arranged marriage. The characters of Deepa Varadarajan's debut novel, Late Bloomers, are experiencing that second chance firsthand. Parents Suresh and Lata have just split and are learning to navigate dating online and IRL; their kids are fielding relationship troubles of their own. In today's episode, the author talks to NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer about what it means to find love later in life, and how writing fiction provided her with her own kind of fresh start.
