• High rate of fatalities: – 95% of all German Army casualties from 1941 to 1944
• Soviet (now allied) forces– 2.6-2.9 million troops– 65% of all Allied military casualties from the entire war
• Germany captured over 3 million Soviet POWs– “Hunger Plan” – starved Soviet POWs.

Operation Barbarossa cont.
Four Phases– Phase 1 – Frontier Battles (June-July 1941)
• Hitler believed they had won the war after this short phase– Phase 2 – Battle for Smolensk (July – August 1941)
• Germans begin to realize they are in for the long haul • Continue the push towards Moscow – Stalingrad
– Phase 3 - Kiev and Leningrad (August- October 1941)• Success in Kiev and Leningrad emboldened Germans but used supplies and
man power they didn’t have. • Took no prisoners
– Phase 4 -Operation Typhoon(October - December 1941)• Attempted to take Soviet Capital of Moscow • Forces were almost equal but Germans were tired• Weather turned bad – made it hard for tanks and planes – even guns wouldn’t
work • Worsened soldier moral

Operation Barbarossa:What went wrong?
• Initial success based on element of surprise. (BLITZKRIEG) • Underestimated the time it would take• Underestimated Soviet forces• Burned through supplies too early– Ran out of fuel – could not move enough troops
• Got stuck in the mud/rain/ice/snow• Ill prepared for winter – clothes, food etc. • Problems for Germans elsewhere – Greece and
Yugoslavia and North Africa – British and U.S. Forces are focused here.
![Page 16: Happy Monday Students!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816694550346895dda7613/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Operation Barbarossa – Why?• Germany suffering a labor shortage – lack of
supplies. • Ukraine and other Soviet territories were
valuable agricultural holdings. – lack of food • Oil • Their high level of success so far – especially in
France- fueled hubris among Hitler and his top officers.
• Claimed they had intelligence regarding a Soviet plan to launch an offensive against Germany.

Stalingrad 1942-1943• Part of the German Summer offensive code name Case Blue – Focus on more southern cities – attempt to avoid terrible
weather and cut off port connections. • Stalingrad – Soviets had warning– Moved resources but not people out of the city– Used, “everyone who could hold a gun” to fight. – Germans would run out of supplies, food and ammunition
• Stalingrad would be decisive turning point in the war. – Clear Soviet Victory
• Of the nearly 110,000 German prisoners captured in Stalingrad, only about 6,000 ever returned.

Consequences of North Africa
• French colonial forces aided the Allies in Algiers
• Thus the Germans began to occupy all of France, including the previously allied Vichy Regime holdings.
