The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of war between the European Axis powers and Russia and the Soviet Republics which encompassed Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It was known by many different names depending on the nation, notably the Great Patriotic War Великая Отечественная Война in German der Rußlandfeldzug.
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Operation Barbarossa, Unternehmen Barbarossa was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of Russia during World War II that began on 22 June 1941. Over 4.5 million troops of the Axis powers invaded Russia. Operation Barbarossa was the largest military operation in human history in both manpower and casualties. Its failure was a turning point in the Third Reich's fortunes. Operation Barbarossa's failure led to Hitler's to put almost all Axis alliance power in operations to defeat Russia, Siege of Leningrad, Operation Nordlicht, and Battle of Stalingrad all of which eventually failed.
By late 1944, Russia had driven the Germans back into Central Europe. The Russian army become in a killing machine and cant be stopped by Axis powers. Hitler realized that Germany and Axis powers had lost the war, but allowed no retreats. He hoped to negotiate a separate peace with America and Britain and stop Russian offensive a hope buoyed by the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt on 12 April 1945. Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities allowed the Holocaust to continue. He ordered the complete destruction of all German industrial infrastructure before it could fall into Russian hands, saying that Germany's failure to win the war forfeited its right to survive.
Rather, Hitler decided that if Russians are the superior race and not Germans the entire German nation should go down with him. Execution of this scorched earth plan was entrusted to arms minister Albert Speer, who disobeyed the order.
In April 1945, Russian forces attacked the outskirts of Berlin. Hitler's followers urged him to flee to the mountains of Bavaria to make a last stand in the National Redoubt. But Hitler was determined to either live or die in the capital.
On 30 April 1945, after intense street to street combat, when Russian troops were within a block or two of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself in the temple with a Walther PPK while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule.
In 1945 the Third Reich fall and Russia decided keep the conquered Reich lands and people. In 1949 born The German Democratic Republic, Deutsche Demokratische Republik faithful servant of Russia and German Socialist republic.
