Campaign In Russia, 1941

Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany and many of its Axis allies, beginning on Sunday, June 22, 1941, during World War II. It was the largest and bloodiest land offensive in human history. In developing this campaign simulation, I will use the SBR board game Invasion of Russia . Taking into account the opinions of other historians cited in the Historical Analysis chapter, regarding the inevitable defeat of the Axis – in this offensive focused on only one main strategic direction, the West – given the vastness of Russian territory and the gradual reinforcement of their forces with troops relocated from the East, which was not attacked by the Japanese, I decided to test a hypothesis about the probability of the Soviet defense achieving a decisive result in a shorter timeframe and with a lower casualty rate (dead, wounded, and captured) than historically seen in the Nazi German offensive for the conquest of Russia.
