Steeped in victory after nearly two years ot war, Germany s Wehrmacht (Defense Force) prepared to undertake the most massive and ambitious campaign in the history of warfare, the conquest of the Soviet Union. Revelling in its stunning victories in Poland, France, the Low Countries, Norway, Denmark, and the Balkans, Germany felt confident enough to challenge the Bolshevik threat to the east. Besides ignoring history by attacking a nation with an immense manpower pool,

considerable natural resources and a vast land mass, Germany failed to secure its southern flank in North Africa and the Mediterranean. Along with these failures, allowing Great Britain to remain unoccupied ultimately forced Germany to wage the traditionally-dreaded "war on two fronts".
