The year 1941 begins with quick victories. The tactics of the blitzkrieg seem successful. With the war against the Soviet Union, a new form of warfare begins: the so-called war of annihilation. By the end of 1941, the Baltic States, Belarus and large parts of Ukraine had already been occupied. But shortly before Moscow, the German attack came to a standstill, and at the beginning of December, icy temperatures of over minus 40 degrees Celsius brought the attack to a complete standstill.
