Barbarossa: The Epic Retreat from Moscow, a Harrowing Tale of War and Survival

In the annals of military history, few events are as dramatic or consequential as the German Army's retreat from Moscow during World War II. In the face of a relentless Soviet counteroffensive, the Wehrmacht was forced to abandon its plans to capture the Soviet capital and was driven back hundreds of miles in a desperate struggle for survival.

The retreat from Moscow was a catastrophe for the German Army. Over 250,000 German soldiers died, and another half a million were wounded or captured. The losses in equipment were staggering, with over 3,000 tanks and 5,000 aircraft lost. The retreat also shattered the myth of German invincibility and marked a turning point in the war on the Eastern Front.
