## Resource

Guest: Annibale Recorded: July 6, 2026(thumbnail: mass grave of Soviet POWs ) Annibale joins us for his promised bonus episode on Operation Barbarossa, the largest and deadliest invasion in human history, which just quietly passed its 85th anniversary. In this episode, Annibale goes over the unfathomable casualty toll on Soviet soldiers and civilians, and explains how the Holocaust is inextricably part of Barbarossa.
