Germany Turns on Russia

Today we spent most of class learning about how Germany invaded Russia. The Germans and Russians already shared a hatred towards each other, just did not see an ideal time to attack until, the Germans made a move. They would gain resources and oppose there biggest threat. At first Stalin was doubtful that Hitler would attack because he would risk a two front war and he was tied up with the British, but he soon learned that he made a mistake not listening to his intelligence. The Germans began to attack using the "blitzkrieg" method that had been successful before. The Nazi's advanced with resistance. The period ended just as we began conversing how Germany would reach Moscow.
