World War II: Operation Barbarossa Images
 

I recently came across this image series, posted on The Atlantic’s In Focus with Alan Taylor blog. Â*It is part six of a twenty part weekly series about the photography of World War II. <a href="http://www.nikesoccer-shoes.com/"><strong>nike soccer shoes sale</strong></a> Â*Here’s part of the introductory clip from The Atlantic: “On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany and its Axis allies began a massive invasion of the Soviet Union named Operation Barbarossa — some 4.5 million troops launched a surprise attack deployed <a href="http://www.monsterbeatsbydree.com/monster-beats-studio-diamond-red-p-191.html"><strong>monster beats studio diamond red</strong></a> from German-controlled Poland, Finland, and Romania. Hitler had his eyes on Soviet resources even after <a href="http://www.lebronjamesnews.com/lebron-james-soldier-5-c-20.html"><strong>Lebron James Soldier 5</strong></a> Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact in 1939. Both sides had long been suspicious of one another and the agreement merely gave them more time to prepare for a probable war. The Soviets were unprepared for the sudden blitzkreig attacks across a border that spanned nearly 2,900 km (1,800 mi), and suffered horrible losses.” Fascinating, <a href="http://www.xinzhouba.com/view.php?id=33529"><strong>A Landscape Painting in Oil- “After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores ...</strong></a> visceral images. Â*Well worth the five minutes it takes to browse through the files. Tags: Random Bits Tagged as: Operation Barbossa, photography, The Atlantic, war, World War II
