Germany, with Operation Barbarossa, invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. The Soviet Union held off German forces at Stalingrad during the winter of 1942 to early 1943. Stalingrad was a the major turning point on the Eastern Front of the European war. After Stalingrad, Soviet forces began to push the Nazis back, eventually to Berlin in 1945.
