1945 5 8, what was the war between Germany and the USSR?

I guess it was World War II, the Battle of Berlin.

During World War II, the German army attacked the Soviet Union in three directions: northern, central and southern

1. On the Northern Front, Army Group North under the command of Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb of the German Army was responsible for the offensive, 24 divisions of the Soviet Red Army were completely defeated, 20 divisions lost 60% of their personnel and equipment, and Army Group North of the German Army Group reached under the city of Leningrad.

2. On the Central Front, the key area of the German assault, the ** Army Group under the command of Field Marshal Fedor von Bock of the German Army attacked from the direction of the Grodno and Brest fortresses, the capital of Belarus Minsk fell, the Soviet Red Army retreated 350 kilometers, 30 divisions were annihilated, and 70 divisions lost more than 50% of their personnel.

3. On the Southern Front, the main purpose of Army Group South by the German army Rundstedt was to occupy the Soviet agricultural and industrial base in Ukraine, and in the early stage of the war, due to the obvious superiority of the Soviet Red Army over the German army in terms of strength and equipment, the German army made the slowest progress in this direction.

At 3:30 a.m. on June 22, 1941, Hitler adopted the usual trick of bandits who did not declare war and suddenly launched an attack on the Soviet Union. Germany's client states Italy, Finland, Romania and Hungary also participated in the war of aggression against the Soviet Union. The largest and decisive battle of the Second World War took place on the territory of the Soviet Union.

On June 22, 1941, at 4 a.m., the Germans launched an attack on the Soviet Union. German planes carried out heavy bombing of important cities, transport hubs, bridges and crossings and military bases in the western part of the Soviet Union. Then, after heavy artillery preparations, the Germans, led by dozens of tank and motorized divisions, launched an offensive on a frontal distance of 3,000 kilometers from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea.

The Western Military District of the Soviet Union lost command throughout the morning of the 22nd and was forced to retreat back with continuous resistance.

Because at that time the Soviet Union was not ready for war, the command was very chaotic, and there was no experience in dealing with the German blitzkrieg at all.

It was the reason why the generals of the Soviet army were too proud, because at that time the Soviet army lacked materials and was seriously lacking in combat effectiveness, and the German army seized this point to make the Soviet army suffer a crushing defeat.

In the case that the Soviet army's frontline layout has not yet been completed, it is best to focus on defense, but blindly prepare for the offensive. After the battle began, the Soviet Union still wanted to launch a counterattack in the face of the absolute superiority of the German army, which resulted in a large number of reserves being consumed on the battlefield in vain, causing greater losses to the Soviet army.

Because after Germany occupied Poland, it tore up the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" and led more than a dozen client states to launch a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union to invade the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union could only counterattack and start a war with Germany.
