Operation Barbarossa: The German Invasion

In June 1941, Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, its invasion of the Soviet Union. Kharkov quickly became a key target for the German forces, as it lay on the path to Moscow. By October of that year, the Germans had captured the city.

The Soviet Counter-Offensive: Winter 1941–1942

As winter descended upon the Eastern Front, the Soviets launched a massive counter-offensive, aiming to retake Kharkov. The fighting was fierce, and the city changed hands several times. Finally, in February 1942, the Red Army liberated Kharkov from German occupation.

The German Reoccupation: Summer 1942

However, the Soviet victory was short-lived. In May 1942, the Germans launched a new offensive, codenamed Operation Blau. The هدف was to regain control of Kharkov and the surrounding area, which was rich in natural resources.

The German forces, led by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, swiftly retook Kharkov in June 1942. The city remained under German occupation for the next ten months.

The Third Battle of Kharkov: February–March 1943

In February 1943, the Soviets launched another major offensive, known as the Third Battle of Kharkov. The goal was to definitively liberate the city from German control and cut off German supply lines to the south.

The battle was one of the largest and bloodiest on the Eastern Front. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but in the end, the German forces managed to hold on to Kharkov.
