About this video

Why did Hitler make the mistake of invading Russia? First, it was all about ideology. In Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf, He preached the idea of 'living space' for Germans. He saw Russia, as prime territory for expansion. Second, Hitler hated communism and saw the Soviet Union as his main ideological enemy. Third, Soviet Union was rich in oil, grain, and minerals. Hitler believed controlling these resources was key to sustaining Germany's war efforts. Fourth, Hitler wanted Ukraine's fertile lands to feed the German population and military. Fifth, Germans thought a quick victory over the Soviet Union would secure Germanyโ€™s eastern front and allow a focus on the West. Finally, Hitler believed the Red Army was weak. But the reality was different. The invasion led to some of the most brutal fighting in history, with the harsh Russian winter and fierce Soviet resistance turning it into a nightmare for the Germans.
