Anniversary of Operation Barbarossa.

Well today in June 21 on 1941 was the date when Germany under Hitler launched its assault on the Soviet Union. 4 hard years of fighting and this led to the ultimate allied victory against the Third Reich. This was also the start of the Eastern Front or the Great Patriotic War as it's called in the former Soviet Republics.

Anyway, to commemorate the invasion, here's a video relating to the initial operation itself.

This is from the series Soviet Storm: War in the East.
