German troops drove hard on the Surprised Soviet Military and stunningly passed Soviet trains on the way to Germany carrying grain and fuel oil.
Eventually the German's would be defeated by the harsh coldness of the Russian winter and the inability for the German's to supply their troops. They were thrown back by the resurgent Soviet Red Army and such weapons as the Soviet T-34 tank.
This invasion lead to the eventual raising of the Soviet Red Banner over Berlin and the horrific atrocities visited on the German civilians there.
