Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, primarily due to Adolf Hitler's ideological goals of expanding German territory and resources, as outlined in his plan for Lebensraum (living space) for the Aryan race. Additionally, the invasion aimed to eliminate communism as a perceived threat and to secure vital resources, particularly oil, in the Soviet territories. The operation, named Barbarossa, was also motivated by a belief in the superiority of the German military and the expectation of a quick victory. However, the invasion ultimately led to a protracted conflict that significantly weakened Germany.
