If you want to learn about the Soviet Union and Eastern Front during World War 2, then keep reading…
No nation suffered more losses during the Second World War than the Soviet Union. The figure most historians recognize as roughly accurate is twenty million. The exact figure is impossible to tally for a number of reasons: destroyed records, inexact pre-war records, Soviet politicization of the population figures before and after the war, and much more. No matter what the exact total was, what is known is that the Soviet population only recovered its losses from the war in the late 1950s.
For those of you unfamiliar with WWII, the combined losses sustained by the United States and Great Britain were just over 800,000 dead. The Soviets lost that many people during the Siege of Leningrad alone.
The war on the Eastern Front involved millions of men on both sides from many nationalities, including Russian, German, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, and Spanish, not to mention the many ethnic groups that made up the Soviet Union. Tens of thousands of battles raged from 1941 to 1945, most of them only remembered by historians who specialized in the subject and the veterans of the battles themselves. However, a number of battles fought on the Eastern Front were monumental and earth-shattering: the opening invasion of Operation Barbarossa, which the Germans executed with amazing speed, Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, Operation Bagration, and Berlin.
