Operation Barbarossa was the codename for Germany’s invasion of the soviet union. On July 22, 1941, Hitler launched his armies eastward in a massive invasion of the Soviet Union, three great armies groups with over 3 million Germans soldiers, 150 divisions and 3 thousand tanks smashed across the Soviet territory. Barbarossa was the crucial turning point in World War II, for its failure forced Nazi Germany to fight a two front war against a coalition possessing immensely superior forces. Germany fails to defeat the Soviet Union, Soviet victory despite huge losses in men and resources. . Danny & Evan. Writing Activity. Imagine yourself as a Russian citizen (Cold War or otherwise).

Ésta es la fantástica aventura que he querido contar en los dos formatos que nos han acompañado desde que nuestra especie comenzó a decorar las cuevas: el lingüístico y el visual. Decía el gran poeta Paul Valéry que las tres grandes creaciones de la inteligencia humana son la poesía, las matemáticas y el dibujo. Yo estoy de acuerdo, aunque añadiría alguna más.Siempre me ha fascinado la capacidad que tienen los mapas, los gráficos, los planos, las caricaturas y las viñetas para abstraer e integrar. Un buen dibujo puede sintetizar un argumento complejo. Tan poderosa es la intuición visual que decimos Ahora lo veo para indicar que hemos comprendido algo. La palabra analiza, el dibujo concentra.Si Marcus Carús y yo lo hemos hecho bien, este libro debería parecerse a unos fuegos artificiales. Una imagen puede estallar en una bella dispersión de significados.
