"Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began the largest and most costly campaign in military history. Its failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. The operation was planned as a blitzkrieg to win Germany its Lebensraum in the east, and the summer of 1941 is well known for the German Army's unprecedented victories and advances. Yet the German blitzkrieg depended almost entirely upon the motorized Panzer groups, particularly those of Army Group Centre.
