German invasion of USSR-final plan for operation barbarossa.called for 3 main pushes. he wanted 3 main cities lenegrad, moscow,stalingrad. If he captured these 3 cities the country would surender. Never got to moscow they had a 90% control but the soviet union started pushing back. Lenegrad he never got control of. he didnt get control of any of these cities. Lenegrad was the bloodiest battle of the war. Hitler need a quick victory because the soviet union is huge. the soviet union gives alot of resources to Germany suddenly Germany stopped trading with them. Turning point was the winter of 1940 and 1941 this is when Germany starts having trouble because they werent ready for the cold weather. they were running out of supplies and they had a long supply line. Winter helped russia hold off the germanys it took 3 years for the soviet union to push germany out of their country. During winter the soviet union fought back hard.
Scorched Earth policy- stalin demanded this of the soviet troops burn everything when they retreated.
