MY BIRTHDAY IS THIS MONTH!! at the end. on the 29th.
12. Operation Barborossa(USSR vs Germany)
Hitler invaded Soviet Union because of Lebensbraum. (living space) Wanted Ukraine for farmland, use people as slave labor, defeat of USSR would further isolate the Allies. He wanted the oilfields in the Caucasus mountains. He didn't trust Stalin. German propaganda showed that Stalin was planning to attack Germany. He also hated all the ethnic Slavs ruled by their "Jewish Bolshevik" masters. Happened in the summer of 1941, and it was the largest land battle. about 4 million people were killed. Hitler wanted to get Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad. WIth these cities, he could basically cripple the USSR. Winter came, and it helped out the soviets, as the Germans weren't prepared for it. Germany had control of 90% of Stalingrad, but they couldn't get control of the whole city. The soviets started to push them back, and by the summer of 1943 it was clear that the Soviets were going to win. It was just a matter of time. The closest German troops got to Moscow was 12 miles. Hitler did meth. People ate people in Leningrad.
