Operation Barbarossapull it on the timeline

Event

The German codename for the surprise invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. Pulling together nearly four million combined Axis troops for the attack, Barbarossa opened the Eastern Front of World War II, dissolving the Soviet-German partnership and cementing the Soviet Union as a part of the Allies for the duration of the war, as well as beginning the deadliest land-based military conflict in history.

The Holocaustpull it on the timeline

Event

The systematic extermination of Jewish people across Europe as perpetuated by Nazi Germany and its allies during World War II. The genocide was conducted in various stages and by various means over the course of the war, though none more identifiable with the atrocity than the death camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Treblinka, and Sobibor. In all, some six million Jews would perish from 1941-1945.
