Operation Barbarossa was significant in many ways. First, it portrayed the Nazis' intense ideological and racial hatred, directed against Slavs, Jews, and Marxists. Joseph Goebbels, a key figure in the Nazis , called the Russians "not a people but an agglomeration of animals". Although the invasion of Poland had been cruel, the invasion of the Soviet Union was openly a "war of extermination". Second, the German army had gained a quicker success than they had anticipated. Although the huge gains gave great happiness to the Nazi hierarchy, success also created fear at the prospect of controlling the millions of Soviet prisoners, civilians, and Jews who were now under Nazi control. These prisoners went quickly from systematic brutality to atrocities, and then to murder on a scale few could have imagined.

Thus, one of the most important consequences of Operation Barbarossa was the creation of death camps. During the summer of 1941, the Nazis had experimented with vans equipped with poison gas, which could kill thirty to fifty people at a time. By October 1941, camps with gas chambers were being built and people deported to them. Auschwitz-Birkeneau was built up to be the largest of the camps. Between the spring of 1942 and fall of 1944, over 1 million people were killed at Auschwitz-Birkeneau alone. It was a truly horrific wave of slaughter that many hesitate to even think about to this day.
