Operation Barbarossa, launched by Nazi Germany in June 1941, aimed to invade the Soviet Union and decisively defeat it to secure Lebensraum (living space) for Germany. The operation involved a rapid advance across a vast front, employing blitzkrieg tactics to encircle and destroy Soviet forces. In contrast, Operation Overlord, which began on June 6, 1944, sought to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation through a massive amphibious assault on Normandy, France. While Barbarossa focused on swift territorial conquest, Overlord prioritized establishing a foothold in Europe through coordinated Allied efforts and extensive logistical planning.
