Re: MUNSON'S PLAYS
I just saw the post on the previous page. Sorry for the repeat question, Mike, I haven't checked in on this thread in a little while. I don't think the 24-31 since '02 should be a reason to abandon the strategy completely, but if you have some additional logic then it's more understandable.

Haha not a funny topic, but that line made me chuckle. That's what lawyers do. Hopefully the matter gets resolved quickly.

Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa, for Frederick I) was the code name for Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II that began on 22 June 1941.<SUP id=cite_ref-Higgins_9-0 class=reference>[10]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-10 class=reference>[11]</SUP> Over 4.5 million troops of the Axis powers invaded the USSR along a 2,900 km (1,800 mi) front.<SUP id=cite_ref-11 class=reference>[12]</SUP> In addition to the large number of troops, it also involved 600,000 motor vehicles and 750,000 horses.<SUP id=cite_ref-12 class=reference>[13]</SUP> Planning for Operation Barbarossa started on 18 December 1940; the secret preparations and the military operation itself lasted almost a year, from spring to winter 1941. The Red Army repelled the Wehrmacht's strongest blow, and Adolf Hitler did not achieve the expected victory, but the Soviet Union's situation remained dire. Tactically, the Germans had won some resounding victories and occupied some of the most important economic areas of the country, mainly in Ukraine.<SUP id=cite_ref-13 class=reference>[14]</SUP> Despite these successes, the Germans were pushed back from Moscow and could never mount an offensive simultaneously along the entire strategic Soviet-German front again.<SUP id=cite_ref-14 class=reference>[15]</SUP>
Operation Barbarossa's failure led to Hitler's demands for further operations inside the USSR, all of which eventually failed, such as continuing the Siege of Leningrad,<SUP id=cite_ref-15 class=reference>[16]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-16 class=reference>[17]</SUP> Operation Nordlicht, and Battle of Stalingrad, among other battles on the occupied Soviet territory.<SUP id=cite_ref-17 class=reference>[18]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-Directorate_18-0 class=reference>[19]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-19 class=reference>[20]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-20 class=reference>[21]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-21 class=reference>[22]</SUP>
Operation Barbarossa was the largest military operation in human history in both manpower and casualties.<SUP id=cite_ref-22 class=reference>[23]</SUP> Its failure was a turning point in the Third Reich's fortunes. Most important, Operation Barbarossa opened up the Eastern Front, to which more forces were committed than in any other theatre of war in world history. Operation Barbarossa and the areas that fell under it became the site of some of the largest battles, deadliest atrocities, highest casualties, and most horrific conditions for Soviets and Germans alike — all of which influenced the course of both World War II and 20th century history.
