To put it into some kind of context with the D-Day landings Operation Barbarossa numerically speaking was over ten times as massive.
Approximately 330,000 Allied troops stormed the Normandy beaches on June 6th, 1944..
Approximately 3,700,000 German and Axis soldiers marched into the Soviet Union on June 22nd, 1941. There were 4,300,000 Soviet soldiers there to greet them.
Put things into context a little I think. |
