Summary
Jonathan Dimbleby: Barbarossa: How Hitler Lost the War
The Turning Point of World War II The goals of Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's attack on Russia in June 1941, were: the destruction of Soviet communism, the liquidation of the Jews, and the creation of a living space for the superior German race. However, this ambitious undertaking ultimately led to the destruction of the Third Reich and had disastrous consequences for Germany, with millions of soldiers killed, wounded and missing in action. It was a colossal mistake - and the main reason for Hitler's defeat in World War II. Using unpublished archival materials as well as untranslated Russian sources, Jonathan Dimbleby places Operation Barbarossa in its proper place in history for the first time. From its roots in the ashes of the First World War to its impact on post-war Europe, it describes its military, political and diplomatic aspects from all angles and gives a complete and vivid picture of this gigantic struggle whose nature and consequences have not been revealed. so thoroughly researched so far. Written on the basis of carefully verified facts and with a lot of humanity, Barbarossa is a work that will transform our understanding of the Second World War and the twentieth century.
