Germany : Operation Barbarossa was the German invasion of Russia .
The soviet union survived the invasion because they had enough people and resources to continue to fight. The leaders had no care for the people they were loosing in the war, and they were able to keep their industrial force by disassembling factories and moving them farther into the soviet union.
The invasion of the Soviet Union was delayed because of issues in the Balkans. The failure of Mussolinis invasion of Greece exposed Hitlers flank to British air bases. Also there was a perceived problem with gasoline to fuel the German armored divisions.
