After the German failure of Battle fo Moscow, Germany had to revise their strategies in dealing with the USSR. After revising their strategy, Hitler comed up with a plan called Case Blue. This would lead upto the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of Stalingrad.
Initially, and indeed for some time, Barbarossa was dramatically successful for the Germans in WW2. The Blitzkreig was at its height, the Panzer forces were able to penetrate deep into Ukraine & Belorusse and many prisoners were taken into captivity. Huge losses were suffered by the Russians & defeat looked a real possibility. Soon Leningrad, Moscow & Stalingrad were all under threat. But Moscow was defended successfully, Leningrad was besieged for over 2 years & Stalingrad was where the Germans were finally repulsed. But it was a massive conflict.
