Battle for Russia
June 22nd 1941 The invasion the betrayal has now just begun Across the Russian frontier the battle starts to rage Though Stalin can't believe The war has been brought this way Barbarossa is the operation A plan laid by Hitler it's a swift penetration Led my motorized divisions with an aim to encircle Pincer movements to put the Red Army in peril Total annihilation is the goal defeat Russia To take advantage of natural resources the oil Needed to fuel an army bent on world domination But the delay in the battle is their doom our salvation They wanted to attack in May but preparations weren't through They ran the chance of being the next waterloo The Russian winters are harsh they must avoid that Blitzkrieg will commence once again a lightning attack
Artillery shells hit the ground like thunder Yet another invasion when will it end, you start to wonder Is anything sacred alliances thrown aside In favor of greed the Russian land torn asunder
They look to advance though the Russian frontier The machines of war bellow loud stirking fear
Panzers on the ground 109's in the sky Can anything stop this war machine there's no time
Stalin never believed the Germans would attack him Cause a War on two fronts made no sense Hitlers a friend He had no sound advice on what to do in this crisis Cause the Red army was purged the high command met the gallows Which meant Stalin had the power to make military decisions Without opposition this was flawed from the beginning He moved his whole army to the Western borders Well past the safety of forts in the interior This left them exposed on all sides They were instructed not to attack the Germans under fire Their communications were shot so chaos ensued While the Germans kept advancing Stalin didn't believe its true Oh but it was and they were dead serious Steam rolling the Red Army at the borders its clear That Stalin would need to react fast Or he would be crushed and this War would be their last
Army group North army group Center Leningrad and Minsk Amy group South capture Kiev in a way intense They must encircle the red army take no prisoners Whip them from the face of the Earth brutality sinister Prevent the Russians from retreating to the interior And crush them in the North to show that their superior This was plan the offensive And it was going so well at the beginning sparse defensive
The center and the North army groups would meet In Leningrad after the center makes moves capturing Smolensk Army Group south would encircle along the river Dnieper Then attack the Russians from the rear destroying them so clear Then continue further south to the oil fields Secure the Caucasus for the oil it wields Once encirclement was done the army groups would then Turn towards Moscow heading towards the Kremlin
The Russians did their best to halt the advance T34's wreaking havoc on the Panzers men Cause they were practically invincible to artillery shells But the Russians tactics were sorely lacking they failed And it didn't help that the Luftwaffe owned the skies Eventually the southern army was crushed no surprise The Russians would not surrender Stalin's orders So they put up fierce resistance before it was over
But the Germans kept pushing further past their borders All the way to the Stalin line in the interior closer To Moscow but the panzers had to wait For the infantry to catch up halting advance for days Then on the very day that the offensive resumed The weather broke and the Russian resistance wouldn't lose Without a fight blowing up bridges and laying down mines This battle still Rages on and on no end in sight
The German delay allowed the Russians time For a counter attack with massive ammounts of tanks just fine Army group center was their target past the city of Minsk 6 army groups mostly of the supreme reserve defend Panzer group three in North was their main concern So the Russian sent two units 700 tanks to turn The course of things hopefully but it was all in vein Due to air support the tanks in 3 days were crushed again

To defend Moscow in a final defense To make their last stand standing in defiance The Germans seemed to underestimate the troops in the Red army Cause they were nowhere near the collapase their wanting Hitler gave up on encirclement to strike economicly At Linigrad in the North the oil fields to the South you see Linengrad bombed to submission now the germans head out Back to the Center to attack Moscow
Operaiton Typhoon the assault on Moscow Commenced October 2nd the battles winding down Moscow is guraded by a defence line centered around two cities Viasma and Mozhiask two army fronts defend History The first blow would be struck by Gadarians 2nd Panzer Returning from the south to Orel with no answer 3 days later fell Bryansk another key Russian point 3 Russian armies were trapped before they even know
To the North 3rd and 4th panzer would close on Vyasma Another 5 armies were trapped so quick but that's the standard The first line of defense crushed With no resistance well not so much Stalins insistence on no surrender made it worse Manning positions to the end yielded so many pisoners 3 million in the end Were captured and showed no remorse not even compassion
Only 90 thousand with a handful of tanks Were left to defend Moscow from the Nazi Germans The Germans finally felt that the battle was won Their final push would be swift and a merciless one Stalin turned Genral Zuchov to plan the final defense Of the city looking past disagreements The situation was critical deterioration So fast what could he do that would make much sense?
The germans were advancing fast towards Moscow Only 60 miles away from the Kremlin capped with gold The city became a panic marshal law declared Evacuation of key industry was all they could dare The plan for the city by the Germans was grim for sure No surrender would be accepted the city turned to a reservoir But a saving grace would come in the form of weather Slowing down the German army to a crawl no better
The final phase of battle would begin with the Germans slowing down This time allowed 11 armies to be raised in Moscow Poorly trained conscripts but from Siberia The hardened troops from the East would bring planes and tanks superior All of this make the assault a hard one For the Germans and the weather causing men to freeze up November 7th the Russians held their revolution parade To show defiance in the face of great despair
The frost hardened the ground so the German columns could move The last assault would begin November 15th true One last attempt to capture the capital and control the War The fighting would be fierce not mention the cold December 2nd a blizzard swept in the ill-equipped wermacht had no answer for it Frostbite and disease would start to purge their ranks Victory was in their grasp now they face defeat
The Russians fierce counter offensive made the problems worse The Luftwaffe was grounded but the Red Army would soar Their planes started to be effective bombing German positions December 10th the Russians lauched powerful reserves On a front 600 miles to purge Them of the German menace once and for all This was overwhelming The beginning of the end the fall
The Battle was lost The 3rd Reich now start to face their end This is the turning point That the allied powers needed to crush Hitler and his men
Thus begins The fall
