1941 Russia

Operation Barbarossa

         June 22, 1941     This is the start of the largest and most important land campaign of WWII.  This is the big one, the day Germany went to war with Russia.  In less than four years, Germany will be in ruins and Stalin will stand triumphant despite losses of more than 20 million of his countrymen killed in what will be called the Great Patriotic War.
         This page will include Tables of Organization for the beginning of this conflict as well as some additional material to cover the fighting through the end of the year, at which time things will change as the Germans refit and the Russians stage their first big counterattack.  Only units which fought on the Russian front in this time period will be included.  Below are a few supplemental units along with some notes.  Please download the zip file for the full resolution sheets. Please note that after the Germans and Russians is a section containing other minor axis partners.

Tables of Organization


          I present the following tables of organization for the Germans and Russians.  Though the German information is not too difficult to find, the Russians are not so easy.  Though the information exists, much of it is still in Russian.  I have plowed through some such material and translated enough to extract some useful info out of it.  Some is best guesswork.  Hopefully players will get some good use out of it.
