Hitler’s Biggest Mistake: The Freezing Hell Of Operation Typhoon

In late September 1941, Operation Barbarossa enters its critical phase. As German forces launch Operation Typhoon, Hitler aims a decisive blow at Moscow. Encirclements at Vyazma and Bryansk leave hundreds of thousands dead or captured, while the siege of Leningrad starves millions. Yet, severe autumn mud, brutal winter temperatures, and fierce Red Army counter-attacks under General Zhukov push the Wehrmacht to its breaking point.
