On June 22, 1941, over three million German troops stormed into the Soviet Union, launching Hitler’s brutal war of annihilation in the East. This video covers the dramatic early offensives, the fierce resistance from Soviet forces, and the fast-paced German blitzkrieg that threatened to collapse entire Soviet fronts. We explore how Army Group North, Center, and South advanced through the vast terrain, how Luftwaffe strikes devastated Soviet infrastructure, and how Stalin’s delayed reactions shaped the initial course of the war. Despite heavy losses, Soviet soldiers fought with determination, buying precious time for reinforcements and countermeasures. From the encirclement battles near Minsk to logistical nightmares and brutal ideological objectives, this episode sets the stage for one of the most catastrophic and consequential campaigns of World War II. Join us each week as we chronicle the Eastern Front in unprecedented operational detail.
