Sample Book Insights:
#1 The German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of 23 August 1939 had been well received at the time of its signing. It was seen as the end of German-Soviet enmity. However, the exchange of goods between the two countries had benefited Germany significantly since the autumn of 1939.
#2 The German and Soviet governments had become close friends following the invasion of Poland in September 1939, but political differences began to arise between them in 1940. The German government believed they could eliminate Russia as a potential ally of England by conducting a preemptive war against the Soviet Union.
#3 The German operations plan relied on sudden surprise, bold maneuver by motorized formations, and the establishment of a main effort. It was intended to break through the Russian forces with these armored wedges and then advance deep into the enemy’s rear area.
#4 Before every large operation, there is a lot of uncertainty. The most important question is how the new enemy will fight. Will the desired surprise be achieved despite the extensive build-up.
