Mission Brief
Red Army — the force that broke the back of Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front.
The Soviet Red Army fought the largest land war in all of human history on the Eastern Front from June 1941 to May 1945, suffering 8.7 million military dead and absorbing the full weight of Hitler's war machine before grinding it down and destroying it entirely. No military force in history has endured greater losses and continued fighting — at the lowest ebb in late 1941, the Red Army stood between Nazi conquest of Moscow and total Soviet collapse.
From the desperate defense of Moscow and Leningrad's 900-day siege through the titanic tank battle at Kursk and the grinding urban warfare of Stalingrad to the final assault on Berlin in April 1945, Soviet soldiers demonstrated a capacity for sacrifice and collective endurance that no other nation's army matched. The Eastern Front consumed more human lives than all other theaters of World War II combined, and Soviet victory there made Allied victory in Europe possible.
For Eastern Front historians and WWII collectors aged 12 and up.
