Hitler’s decision to break his alliance with Stalin and attack Russia in June 1941 had significant consequences for the world. This was perhaps the most critical turning point in the Second World War.
The newest installment in the Images of War series utilizes over 300 rare contemporary photographs to depict the scope, intensity, and brutality of the fighting that erupted on June 22, 1941. A staggering 4.5 million soldiers from the Axis Powers advanced along a 2,900 kilometer front.
The book illustrates how the seemingly unstoppable German-led assaults overwhelmed Soviet resistance. However, Russian determination, combined with harsh winter conditions and overextended lines of communication, halted the Nazi onslaught.
Arguably, there has never been a more bitter and costly campaign in the history of warfare.
