MILH657  - BARBAROSSA: Blitzkrieg into Russia

View Academic Calendar

Note: Course is not currently scheduled. Please contact your Student Advisor if you have any questions

 

This course is an analysis of the first major period of the German-Soviet war campaign. Students examine how the Wehrmacht invades Russia as the Nazis try to take over the Soviet Union in a matter of months. And why the thrust falls just barely short of Moscow when the snows put an end to the German attack in 1941. Students will develop an alternative history to include an interactive online war game simulating tactics and strategy on the Russian Front.
