The decisive influence on the formation of the organization and tactics of the German infantry before the outbreak of the Second World War was, on the one hand, the experience of the previous world war, but also theoretical works carried out in the 1920s and 1930s, which he often emphasized the need to perceive the German infantry as a tool for waging offensive warfare. This affected both the equipment and the organization of the German infantry division, which during the September campaign of 1939 consisted of 3 infantry regiments, each of which was divided into 3 infantry battalions, an artillery company and a company anti-tank. In addition, there were numerous support units, including: an artillery regiment with 4 artillery squadrons (including one heavy), an anti-tank battalion, an engineer battalion and a communications battalion. In total, the so-called infantry division. In the first wave of mobilization there were around 17,700 people and they had a significant artillery component, but it was also abundantly equipped with machine guns. It also had modern and efficient means of communication and command for those times. Over the course of the war, the infantry divisions underwent a transformation: in 1943 some were transformed into armored grenadier divisions. However, from 1943, the standard "traditional" infantry division was composed of around 12,500 men (and not around 17,700 as in 1939), and its artillery component was also reduced - in particular the heavy one, while its anti - tank defense has been significantly improved. It is assumed that during the entire Second World War, about 350 infantry divisions served in the Wehrmacht. Operation Barbarossa (Ger. Unternehmen Barbarossa) is a German attack on the Soviet Union that began on June 22, 1941. This operation began the German-Soviet War and also began military operations on the Eastern Front during World War II. The original plan of the attack was ready in December 1940 and envisaged the attack in May 1941, but due to the need to intervene in the Balkans, its date was postponed. On the Axis side, a total of over 4.5 million soldiers, around 3,600 tanks and around 2,900 aircraft were committed to this operation. These forces were divided into three large groups, Army Groups: North, Middle and South. The first aimed to conquer Leningrad, the second to strike Moscow and the third to capture the entire territory of Ukraine and reach the Dnieper River. Their actions would lead to the defeat of the Soviet Union in a matter of weeks! At the time of the start of the German attack, the Red Army had about 2.5-3 million people in the western part of the USSR, who had many more tanks and aircraft than their opponents. Operation Barbarossa is widely recognized as the largest German offensive operation of World War II. As a result, the Wehrmacht achieved enormous successes on a tactical and operational scale, destroying, by November-December 1941, probably around 150% of the Red Army's manpower by June of that year! However, despite this, the USSR was not eliminated from the fight, and the operation - strategically - turned out to be a great failure for Germany.
