1/WHO INVADED USSR IN 1941? A Thread
Silly question: Almost everybody round the world may heard about hitler fascists invasion of USSR.

Finnish Republics aggression against USSR from june 25, 1941, jointly carried out with german fascists military help, was, among other things, essential for establishing the SIEGE OF LENINGRAD, one of the most atrocious war crimes in world history, with Finland participating.

Leningrad was the SIXTH LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD by 1941, when it got besieged by german fascism with crucial support of finnish troops.
A flourishing culture-rich metropolis with over 3 million inhabitants! By 1944 over 1 million of them had starved to death, and many fled.

Germany though amassed "only" 70% of the troops actualy invading USSR 1941.

One can find sums like 4.3 million soldiers on some theatres of WW1. Though in terms of equipment, of tech-based warfare, of "organic composition of military", if you will, WW1 with only first findings in grand-scale heavy industry-based warfare doesnt meet WW2 at all.
