On Sunday, June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the USSR. This operation, known as Operation Barbarossa, was the largest invasion in the history of warfare. Military operations on the Eastern Front lasted four long years; the world had never seen a war of such scale and bloodshed.
In this DLC, you will command the Axis forces during Operation Barbarossa, starting from the summer, when the Wehrmacht won one resounding victory after another, and ending in the winter of 1941-42, when the Nazi troops were stopped just outside Moscow.
