The article discusses the Eastern Front during World War II, focusing on the major battles initiated by Adolf Hitler on June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The invasion initially faced delays due to conflicts in Greece but eventually proceeded, leading to some of the bloodiest battles in history. Hitler’s plans included pushing the Soviets beyond the Urals and establishing an Aryan utopia in Eastern Europe. However, the campaign did not go according to plan, particularly due to harsh winter conditions that crippled German forces. The Siege of Leningrad lasted nearly 900 days, resulting in massive civilian casualties, while the Battle of Stalingrad saw over 750,000 German soldiers killed. Ultimately, the Soviet Union repelled the German advances, marking a turning point in the war.
