The reason why the Soviet Union invaded Germany? Because Germany invaded the Soviet Union first! And Josef Stalin, the Soviet leader decided that he could not trust the Germans to "stay down" once he "knocked them down". The Germans were finally and decisively beaten in battle at Stalingrad (now Volgagrad). The German General Von Paulus was encircled by Soviet General Chuikov in what was actually Von Paulus's favorite maneuver, an encirclement. And the Germans lost about 80,000 men and all that went with that size army to a battle-weary and very angry Soviet militatry. Many Germans never saw their homes again, but remained in Soviet Labor Camps (Gulags) until they died, toiling as slave labor. Most German officers eventually went home, but not until the mid-fifties.
