The course of the war could have been drastically changed had Hitler not decided to attack the Soviet Union. Hitler and Stalin signed a non-agression pact and this allowed Germany to focus on fighting in Western Europe. Hitler, however, was not satisfied with the war and decided to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was referred to as "Lebensraum" by Hitler, which translates into "living space." Hitler felt that the Slavic people of Eastern Europe were genetically inferior to his Aryan race and that it was the right of the Aryans to occupy and have control over this land. Germany had a chance to win the war but because they attacked the Soviet Union, they now had to fight a war on two fronts, which meant diverting forces from France and sending them to Eastern Europe. It didn't help that the offensive began in the fall, meaning that the German Army was trapped in Russia during their famed brutal winters. It also didn't help that the Germans were not equipped to fight in the snow, as they did not have sub-zero coats, hats or uniforms. Many Germans died from the cold, and starvation during the invasion of Russia.
