Wehrmacht: Eastern Front Infantry

High Quality Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLMicd33mkc&fmt=6 The crusade against Bolshevism, codenamed Operation Barbarossa, was to be launched sooner rather than later. It was planned to unite Western Europe behind Third Reich's leadership for the common goal to fight Communism. The German campaigns in Greece and North Africa delayed the planned invasion by several weeks, and a great deal of the good summer weather was already lost by the time the invasion was launched on June 22, 1941. The massive attack still turned out to be an initial success, conquering whole areas of the Soviet Union's western region. Their only significant strategic failure was the advance on Moscow, which was halted by stiff resistance, and subsequently driven back by a Russian counter-attack. The following years, however, were less successful on the Eastern Front mainly because of the fact that the Wehrmacht lacked winter clothing and was fighting a three war front. Even though for some this war is considered a failure for the Wehrmacht, for many it shows the bravery and honor shown by these soldiers who defended their homeland to the last step even in the greatest disadvantages. They stood up to the world and fought. *** This video does not imply any ideologies or political theories. I leave that to you my viewers. It is purely for Historical purposes.
