Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II that began on 22 June 1941. Over 4.5 million troops of the Axis powers invaded the USSR along a 2,900 km (1,800 mile) front.[13] Planning for Operation Barbarossa started on 18 December 1940; the secret preparations and the military operation itself lasted almost a year, from spring 1940 to winter 1941.
Barbarossa's operational goal was rapid conquest of the European part of the Soviet Union west of a line connecting the cities of Arkhangelsk and Astrakhan, often called the A-A line (see the translation of Hitler's directive for details). At its end in January 1942, the Red Army had repelled the Wehrmacht's strongest blow. Adolf Hitler had not achieved the expected victory, but the Soviet Union's situation remained dire. Tactically, the Germans had won some resounding victories and occupied some of the most important economic areas of the country, mainly in Ukraine.[14] Despite these successes, the Germans were pushed back from Moscow and could never mount an offensive simultaneously along the entire strategic Soviet-German front again.
Operation Barbarossa's failure led to Hitler's demands for further operations inside the USSR, all of which eventually failed, such as continuing the Siege of Leningrad,Operation Nordlicht, and Battle of Stalingrad, among other battles on the occupied Soviet territory.
Operation Barbarossa is still the largest military operation, in terms of manpower and casualties, in human history. Its failure was a turning point in the Third Reich's fortunes. Most importantly, Operation Barbarossa opened up the Eastern Front, in which more forces were committed than in any other theatre of war in world history. Operation Barbarossa and the areas that fell under it became the site of some of the largest battles, deadliest atrocities, highest casualties, and most horrific conditions for Soviets and Germans alike - all of which influenced the course of both World War II and the 20th century history.

پیشروی در شوروی
عملیات بارباروسا
پس از پیروزی در بالکان، عملیات بارباروسا در 22 ژوئن 1941 اجرا شد. مطابق این برنامه ارتش آلمان از سه جهت (شمالی، مرکزی، جنوبی) تهاجم به اتحاد شوروی را آغاز کرد. تهاجم ارتش آلمان به اتحاد شوروی با پشتیبانی بسیاری از کشور های اروپایی همراه شد: رومانی، مجارستان، ایتالیا، فنلاند و اسلواکی نیز بخشی از ارتش خود را در کنار ارتش آلمان برای نبرد بر ضد ارتش شوروی فرستادند و به علاوه تقریبا از تمام کشور های اروپایی، لژیون ها و یگان های داوطلب برای نبرد علیه کمونیسم در ارتش آلمان تشکیل گردید.
مورخان معتقدند که تهاجم ارتش آلمان یک اشتباه نظامی بزرگ هیتلر بود، در حالی که امروز بسیاری مورخان اعتقاد یافته اند که اگر هیتلر به شوروی حمله نمی کرد، تقریبا در همان زمان استالین دستور تهاجم ارتش شوروی به آلمان را صادر می کرد. مورخانی همچون سورووف روسی یا هوفمان آلمانی اعتقاد دارند که شوروی یک ارتش نیرومند و بزرگ را در مرز غربی اش متمرکز کرده بود و آماده تهاجم بود. بنابراین باید تاکید کرد که تهاجم ارتش آلمان به شوروی عاقلانه بود و امروز دیگر نباید عملیات بارباروسا را یک اشتباه نظامی هیتلر دانست.
تهاجم ناگهانی ارتش آلمان، نیروهای شوروی را به شدت غافلگیر کرد. پیشروی آلمانی ها به قدری سریع بود که بسیاری از یگان های شوروی بدون اینکه فرصت مقابله داشته باشند اسیر شدند. شمار زیادی هواپیما و تانک دشمن در همان روز های اول نبرد نابود شدند و شمار زیادی سرباز اسیر شدند. میزان بالای تلفات شوروی این نظریه را که ارتش شوروی قصد تهاجم به آلمان داشت را بیشتر می کند. زیرا ارتشی که حالت تهاجمی داشته باشد در صورتی که مورد حمله ناگهانی قرار بگیرد قادر به دفاع کردن نیست. ارتش شوروی نیز همین حالت را داشت و چون آماده حمله بود، به هیچ وجه یک برنامه دفاعی در برابر حملات احتمالی را نداشت. در نتیجه زمانی که نیروهای آلمانی به شوروی حمله کردند ارتش شوروی کاملا غافلگیر شد و دچار تلفات گسترده گردید.
پیشروی ارتش آلمان به شوروی با پشتیبانی ساکنان شوروی روبرو شد. مردم شوروی که از شیوه های بیرحمانه و سیستم غیر انسانی حکومت کمونیستی خسته شده بودند، از ارتش آلمان به عنوان آزاد کنندگان خود استقبال کردند و حمایت مردم شوروی از ارتش آلمان به قدری زیاد بود که هم ارتش آلمان و هم پلیس آلمان اقدام به ساخت یگان های نظامی کمکی از مردم محلی و اسیران داوطلب خود کردند که در بسیاری موارد به صورت گردان های سازماندهی شده بر ضد پارتیزان های بیرحم کمونیست می جنگیدند.
نیروهای آلمانی در سه جهت به پیشروی خود ادامه دادند. گروه ارتش های شمالی آلمان به همراه نیروهای فنلاندی اقدام به محاصره لنینگراد کردند. گروه ارتش های مرکزی آلمان اسمولنسک را تصرف کرده و آماده تهاجم به مسکو شدند و گروه ارتش های جنوبی نیز کیف را تسخیر کرده و صد ها هزار سرباز ارتش شوروی را در این شهر اسیر کردند. پیروزی در کیف برای هیتلر هم از نظر نظامی و هم از نظر اقتصادی اهمیت بسیار زیادی داشت.
نبرد مسکو
پس از پیروزی در کیف، بخش قابل توجهی از نیروهای موجود در بخش جنوبی جبهه به گروه ارتش های مرکزی آلمان ملحق شدند تا حمله نهایی به مسکو را انجام دهند. اما متاسفانه عواملی ایجاد شد که باعث توقف پیروزی های آلمان در دروازه مسکو گردید. از جمله ی بد شانسی ها این بود که زمستان کمی زودتر آغاز گردید و ارتش آلمان برای نبرد زمستانی مجهز نبود، همچنین ایران تصرف ارتش شوروی و بریتانیا تصرف شده بود و این مساله باعث ارسال آذوقه و تجهیزات توسط متفقین به روسیه گردید و مهم تر اینکه صد ها هزار سرباز تازه نفس از سیبری برای دفاع از مسکو رسیدند. این سربازان در بخش شرقی شوروی موضع گرفته بودند تا حمله احتمالی ژاپن را دفع کنند، اما از آنجایی که جاسوسان شوروی متوجه شدند که ژاپنی ها قصد حمله ندارند، این عده برای دفاع از مسکو اعزام شدند.
در نتیجه شرایط بحرانی پیش آمده تهاجم ارتش آلمان به مسکو برای پیروزی نهایی با شکست مواجه شد و نیروهای آلمانی در دروازه های مسکو متوقف شدند. حتی دلاوری یگان های اس اس که پدیده ای جدید در نیروهای مسلح آلمان بودند و به عنوان یک نیروی برگزیده و ممتاز شناخته می شدند نیز بی نتیجه ماند و فرماندهی آلمان دستور داد تا فرا رسیدن گرما نیروهای آلمانی به دفاع ادامه دهند.
با آغاز سال 1942 نیروهای شوروی که ورود یگان های سیبریایی تازه نفس و مجهز خود یک تهاجم متقابل گسترده را سازماندهی کردند و نیروهای آلمانی ناچار شدند از محدوده مسکو عقب نشینی کنند، با این وجود عزم هیتلر برای دفاع و همچنین وفاداری و سرسختی نیروهای آلمانی مانع از فروپاشی جبهه ارتش آلمان شد.
پیشروی به جنوب
با آغاز گرما، هیتلر از حمله مجدد به مسکو خودداری کرد. هیتلر عقیده داشت حمله به مسکو به سقوط ارتش سرخ منجر نخواهد شد، زیرا اکنون مرکز اقتصادی و صنعتی شوروی در جنوب-در استالینگراد و قفقاز- قرار دارد. به عقیده هیتلر، در صورت پیروزی در مسکو، ارتش آلمان ناچار بود، به استالینگراد و قفقاز نیز پیشروی کند، در حالی که به گمان او، اگر ارتش آلمان نخست استالینگراد (و سپس قفقاز) را تصرف می کرد، نیروی اقتصادی و صنعتی اتحاد شوروی از بین می رفت و این امر به فروپاشی ارتش سرخ منجر می شد و بدین گونه تصرف مسکو برای ارتش آلمان به آسانی امکان پذیر بود. با این استدلال منطقی، هیتلر دستور پیشروی در بخش جنوبی جبهه را صادر کرد.
گروه ارتش های جنوبی آلمان که اکنون ابتکار را به دست گرفته بود با سرعت بی نظیری در بخش جنوبی پیشروی کرد. غافلگیری نیروهای شوروی که اصلا گمان نمی کردند آلمانی ها در این بخش پیشروی کنند نیز در شکست نیروهای ارتش سرخ در این منطقه موثر بود. سربازان آلمانی با دلاوری خود پیش رفته و با استقبال مردم بومی روبرو می شدند. اکنون تصرف استالینگراد برای هیتلر و فرماندهان ارتش آلمان، هدفی امکان پذیر می نمود.

Operation Rimini is GMP Stockport’s designated day of action, which takes place each month, focussed on tackling retail-related crime and ASB in Stockport town centre, as part of a wider ongoing initiative.
Neighbourhood officers were out in force in the town centre on Friday 29 November, which coincided with Black Friday, as shoppers were out in droves to take advantage of discounted goods in the run up to Christmas.
A number of crime prevention stalls were set-up in and around the Merseyway Shopping Centre with a highlight on fraud awareness.
Officers, alongside partners, were on hand to offer advice to members of the public about ways to keep safe from scammers.
There was also a pop-up stall where officers gave out general crime prevention advice and signed people up to Bee in the Loop - our free email alert system and direct line to your local Neighbourhood Policing Team. You can sign-up to Bee in the Loop via: beeintheloop.co.uk
Superintendent Richard Arthern answered questions from Joe McGrath on BBC Radio Manchester in a live broadcast in which he talked about the robust action taking place against crime in Stockport.
Meanwhile, our Police Cadets visited some retailers to check that knives were not being sold to any under-18s as they conducted 11 test purchases at several locations. None of the test-purchases were successful and all the stores passed, which demonstrates that our retailers are challenging where appropriate.
Furthermore, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council and GMP completed a joint operation checking taxi licensing at the train station following complaints received from local taxi firms.
Following the day of action, officers made three arrests and carried out eight stop searches. Aside from tackling crime, it was great to be visible in the community and speak to the people who live, work and come to visit Stockport.
Sergeant Jason Holmwood, of GMP's Stockport Central Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have been out in Stockport Town Centre today as part of Operation Rimini to ensure we are visible in our communities and tackling the issues that matter to them the most.
“And that doesn't stop today when Operation Rimini is over - this is an ongoing operation which shows our commitment to stopping crime.
“There have been huge changes in Stockport as it has undergone a massive regeneration, and we need to stay ahead of that curve and make sure we are challenging people who are coming here to cause anti-social behaviour.
“We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour, and we will challenge people and make arrests where appropriate. We are here to fight crime and keep people safe.
“Officers undertook a great deal of work during the day – from making arrests to conducting stop and searches and offering fraud awareness advice with shoppers.
“By working closely with partners, the local neighbourhood policing teams continue to make Stockport a safer place for people to live, work and visit.
“You can report a crime to us by calling 101, or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111. Dial 999 in an emergency.
To sign up for our free neighbourhood alert scheme, Bee in the Loop, visit www.beeintheloop.co.uk.”
