German plans for Operation Barbarossa began in December 1940, with the goal of invading the Soviet Union. Hitler expected a quick victory but underestimated Soviet strength and the harsh Russian winter. Over 3 million German troops invaded the USSR in June 1941. Although initially successful, German supply lines became overextended, and the Red Army began to push back in December. This marked the turning point in the war, as Hitler's overconfidence and poor preparation for the Russian conditions led to failure of his plans for domination of Europe.
The last presentation for this part of the USN's rise to the leading maritime power. The period 1919-1945 was treated earlier in the posts titled USN in WW II. Next I plan to take the story from 1945.
This one has a personal connection for me. I wrote my MA thesis on one of the key players. I took our younger son, Bob, to see the site and the Allied cemetery. All the futility and sadness of WW I is brought to sharp focus in this story.
In 1916, the last great line battle of the First World War. Now the naval war will concentrate on Britain's vital shipping and the U-boat war against it.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Welcome to the new Mizzima Weekly !
Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.
4. German Plans…
• The invasion was expected and the
non-aggression treaty was only for Hitler’s
convenience.
• Through propaganda, Germans thought that
the Red Army was going to attack so they were
supportive of the invasion into the Soviet
Union.
5. ...
• The plans on the biggest military
operation in WWII and history began on
December 18, 1940, codenamed
Operation Barbarossa.
• Hitler expected a victory within a
couple of months and the Soviet
Union’s defence was not expected.
• They planned to take the eastern
portion first with the Ukraine, Ostland,
Kauasus, and other divisions. Eventually
to take control of Leningrad, a symbolic
capture.
6. • Hitler believed that once he captured the Soviet Union, he
would have such a control that the allies would fall (Britain).
• Hitler and Germany did not prepare as well as they
thought they did for Operation Barbarossa.
• Hitler was too overconfident based upon recent success in
Western Russia and he did not anticipate the operation to carry
on into the winter as it did.
7. …
• 3300 tanks crossed into Soviet
Border
• 3 – 4 Million men were
assembled and sent into
the USSR under German command
• Material was stockpiled within
the East Soviet Border
• German troops were slightly
outnumbered by Soviet troops
on the frontier, as well as a
number of the USSR’s allies.
8. …
• The further into the Soviet Union Germany advanced,
the more difficult it became to supply troops with
supplies
• His tanks were under-gunned and the gear that soldiers
had along did not protect them from the weather.
• This was especially due to weather and transportation
was very limited.
9. • Hitler lost interest in the Battle of Britain,
and focused on the desire to attack
Russia.
10. • When September hit, winter was fast approaching
and German troops moved deeper into the Soviet
Union. The supply lines became limited.
• The Red Army was to destroy anything that the
enemies could use
(This was called the “Scorched Earth Policy”)
• This made it very difficult for Germany’s soldiers to
become supplied with necessary food and
ammunition
…
11. Moscow
• October 1941- German troops were approaching
Moscow, and Stalin made orders for a mass
evacuation of the city
• November 1941- German Army launched a new
attack on Moscow, the Soviet army held out and
the Germans were brought to a halt
• December 4- There was a counter-attack by the
Red Army, and this led to the Germans retreating
200 miles.
12. Failure of Operation Barbarossa
• The Germans were originally on the upper
hand, but once they had a bit of time to
arm themselves, the Red Army became very
strong
• Germans greatly underestimated the
potential and power of the Russian army…
and the Russian winter!
13. Fin
• They were overall ill
equipped to fight in the
Russian territory
• Hitler gave the ‘stand or
die’ order to his soldiers
• Led to many more German
defeats
This battle was the turning point in the war due
to the extreme haste and greed of Hitler.
16. The Atlantic Wall
• Heavily defended coastline
• from northern Norway to Spain
• 5300 km in length
• thickest defences
were near Pas
de Calais
17.
18. On August 19, 1942 over 6000 Canadian
and Newfoundland men infiltrated the
German port
The (reported) objective was to take
control of the German port and gather
intelligence from prisoners
The (real) objective was to test Hitler to
see if it was possible to land in Europe
None of these objectives were successful
Over half of the men were killed, wounded
or captured
The Allied air forces lost 119 planes and
the Royal Navy suffered 555 casualties
The catastrophe at Dieppe eventually
helped the Allies because of many lessons
learned
19. 1943 - Invasion of Sicily
• July 9th – August 17th 1943
• Allied forces: US, Britain, Canada

• Goal: To remove Axis naval and air forces

• 6 monstrous
battleships

23. “The feeling for me was more intense during the approach to the beach
than the beach itself. Would I being coming back, or would my life be
snuffed out?”
Lance Corporal William Bleakley, 1st Can. Regiment
“You’re in the water now. In the breakers. You try to remember how to
move. Smoke up ahead, and the noise... It’s like nothing you’ve ever
heard before. We were told to not stop and help any of our buddies
as we too might be hit”
Wilfred Bennett, Royal Winnipeg Rifles
“I was the eleventh off the landing craft. The first eight were all killed,
and two more were wounded. I was shot in the hand. A potato
masher (German grenade) landed in front of me. I tossed it back
over the wall.
Ralph Jackson, Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada
24. “All day and all night, the guns blasting the way for fighting men.
Millions of shells helping to win this close, bloddy and ferocious
battle in Normandy...”
Matthew Halton, reporting for CBC Radio
“My Dear Mr. And Mrs Duncan:
It is with my deepest regret that I have to write you this letter.
Your son, my Platoon Commander, met with an accident which
proved fatal... I can say with great pride, that he will always be
remembered by his boys and myself. We buried him in a orchard.
In a good a grave as is permitted under these conditions. I must
close now with regret of the whole platoon on your sad
bereavement.
Yours,
Sergeant M. Brimble
