In WW2 the Germans got as far as Stalingrad in the south, and the Caucasus mountains, just north of Grozny. Leningrad was besieged in the north, & Moscow was not reached. Essentially Stalingrad was as far as the Germans got, at the end of 1942.
The terrible winter weather
The German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 succeeded in part because they attacked with no warning. The Soviet Union didn't have time to react to the German army's invasion.
No, the German invasion of the Soviet Union was not stopped by the nonaggression pact. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, signed in 1939, temporarily ensured that Germany and the Soviet Union would not attack each other, allowing Germany to focus on its military campaigns in Western Europe. However, this arrangement broke down when Germany launched Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, invading the Soviet Union despite the previous agreement.
The German invasion of the Soviet Union during WW2 was called Operation Barbarossa.
The German invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa, was ultimately halted by a combination of factors, including the harsh Russian winter, logistical challenges, and fierce Soviet resistance. The pivotal Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) marked a significant turning point, where the Soviet Red Army encircled and defeated a large German force, leading to a shift in momentum. This defeat, along with the subsequent Soviet counteroffensives, ended the German advance and began the pushback toward Germany.
