Operation Barbarossa

On June 22, 1941, German forces crossed into the Soviet Union. It was, and remains, the largest military operation in human history. The force that the Germans assembled for the invasion was staggering, consisting of over 3 million men.

It ultimately was an extremely costly failure that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people.
