Why Operation Barbarossa Failed: Supplies and Logistics (Trucks)

Описание: It was a campaign that would decide the outcome of World War 2. The Largest ground invasion in History. Operation Barbarossa. Adolf Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union.
In June of 1941, Millions of German Troops, with thousands of tanks and aircraft, swarmed across Soviet borders. At first, They took city after city, and captured or killed hundreds of thousands of Soviets troops. Victory seemed inevitable. But the Soviets weren’t going to surrender the Motherland so easily. Painfully close to capturing Moscow, what many a historian believes would have been the knockout blow, Germany’s advance ground to a halt, and even began being pushed back. And the Soviets, wouldn’t stop pushing back until 1945, in Berlin, with the destruction of the Third Reich.

The question is, how did Operation Barbarossa come so close to success, before failing apart at the seams? Or was it in fact, doomed from the start? The video in the related link, will dispel some of the common Myths surrounding the operation’s failure, and reveal what I believe to be the root of its downfall.
