History
I'm back! Accounts of my death have been much exaggerated. As an apology for my disappearance, I come bearing a gift. Well really its the events of Operation Barbarossa from June 22 to July 1. But I hope you enjoy anyway! Below I'll link helpful maps and animations that might be of use to you, as well as my sources.
