The German invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa, was ultimately halted by a combination of factors, including the harsh Russian winter, logistical challenges, and fierce Soviet resistance. The pivotal Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) marked a significant turning point, where the Soviet Red Army encircled and defeated a large German force, leading to a shift in momentum. This defeat, along with the subsequent Soviet counteroffensives, ended the German advance and began the pushback toward Germany.
