On June 22, 1941, at dawn, fascist Germany troops treacherously attacked our homeland without warning. The Nazis tried to deprive us of freedom, to seize our lands and cities. The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people began against fascist enslavers.

The Nazis in the main directions had more guns, planes, tanks, well -trained soldiers. Before attacking the Soviet Union, fascist Germany seized Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, a number of other European states. The industry of these countries began to work for the Nazis. Enemies expected to deal with us with a quick, swift blow. They even came up with the expression “blitzkrieg”, that is, a lightning -fast war.

But the Nazis miscalculated deeply. As one, Soviet people rose to protect their homeland and freedom. In Ukraine, in Belarus, in the Baltic states, on the lands of Smolensk, in the south of Odessa and Sevastopol, in the north, huge battles with the Nazis unfolded. One of the most stubborn battles of the Great Patriotic War occurred on the approaches to Moscow.
