Eastern Front of WWII

The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of conflict between the European Axis Powers and the Soviet Union. It is known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia.

The Eastern Front was arguably the most brutal and intense front of the Second World War. Out of the 70-85 million deaths caused by WWII, 30 million of them occurred on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was one of the main reasons for the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945.

The USA and UK provided aid to the USSR via the Lend-Lease Program.
