Presentation transcript:

General Winter Vs. Nazis Hitler’s greatest mistake and an examination on why you don’t invade Russia in the winter. (Spoiler: Because Russia is bloody cold)

Operation Barbarossa Unable to defeat Britain, Hitler turns his attention to the Soviet Union. June 1941 The largest land invasion in history Over 3 million Germans poured into the Soviet Union.

Why? Low labor supply Desperately low on fuel, oil, and food. Most German men are in the military Wanted to use slaves from Eastern Europe Desperately low on fuel, oil, and food. Soviet Union has vast stocks of resources.

Nazi’s Smash Commies Initially devastate the Soviet Army Stalin is caught completely off guard June-December- Soviet Union lost 7 million soldiers in 6 months.

The Barbarossa Decree Allowed entire villages to be massacred after attacks on German soldiers German soldiers couldn’t be convicted against crimes on civilians Gave the German army a “license to kill”

Einsatzgruppen

Soldier of the Day Lyudmila Pavlichenko 1 of 2000 female snipers in the Red Army. Only 500 survived. Most successful female sniper in history. 309 confirmed kills.

Nazi Assault Stalls Order 227 Leningrad Moscow 900 day long siege. Nazi’s stopped just outside the city.

Battle of Stalingrad August 1942 Major industrial center The decisive battle on the Eastern Front Crushing defeat for Germany. Over 800K German troops were killed or captured.

Reasons Nazi’s Failed Einsatzgruppen Lack of supplies General Winter “Armament of Breadth”
