Despite a temporary truce in the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-aggression Pact in 1939 the Germans and the Soviets knew that the time was coming when they would face one another on the battlefield. Adolf Hitler eager to accomplish his confident prediction that Russia would be easily defeated and its people subjected into slavery to serve as free labor for Germany invaded the vast country in June 1941. But Operation Barbarossa was the beginning of the downfall of the Third Reich as the dogged Russian refusal to succumb and the menace of the Russian winter demonstrated that the Soviet Union would not surrender as other European nations had done.
