The German codename for the surprise invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941.

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.
The largest tank battle in history, fought between the armies of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany around the town of Kursk in mid-1943.
