And very indirectly, it is worth celebrating because it was Hitler's massive overreach. If he had kept the peace with Russia it's not clear how the war would have evolved. |

Obama probably is, since his grandfather was in the Red Army per him. Although he's probably conflicted between Communist and National Socialists. I think he likes the latter. |

Me neither.And for those people who were born after the war but whose circumstances have little to do with the war, the changes that would have occurred might well have prevented your own birth, because of how spectacularly unlikely it is that any single individual could ever be born. |

I knew that, basically because I've read hundreds of books on WWll and the date of the German invasion of Russia always stood out for me as it's my birthday. (And fuck anyone who wishes me a happy as it took two hours to reply to everyone on Facebook) |

It led to great allied victories such as Stalingrad. Oh, and to Ald, Erwin wasn't involved as he was still in North Africa. |

It was a major turning point in the warThe war had lots of "major turning points". But this was not one of them. The major turning points were when the Nazi advance was halted and reversed. |
