There were regulations enacted against the Ost-Arbeiter ('Eastern workers') that included the death penalty for sexual relations with a German. Hitler had in July 1937 praised Barbarossa as the emperor who first expressed Germanic cultural ideas and carried them to the outside world through his imperial mission.

The operation opened up the Eastern Front, in which more forces were committed than in any other theatre of war in human history. R. McMaster, the national-security adviser, and Rex Tillerson, Trump’s first Secretary of State—had served as guardrails in one way or another. On 8 August the Germans surrounded two Soviet armies, capturing 100,000 men in the Uman pocket, and reached the Dnieper River. In mid-November, with the temperature dropping and the ground now frozen hard, the panzers attempted a final pincer attack around Moscow itself. On 1 September 1939 the German Army, supported by the Air Force (Luftwaffe) and Navy (Kriegsmarine) invaded Poland from three sides.Behind the scenes, however, Pompeo accepted that the election was over and made it clear that he would not help overturn the result.
As a result, the official said, both Pompeo and Milley, who believed he had been personally lied to, “assigned ill will to that whole cabal. Never before since the position had been created, in 1949—or at least since Richard Nixon’s final days, in 1974—had a chairman of the Joint Chiefs encountered such a situation.Even Mattis, who had refrained from openly criticizing Trump, issued a statement about the “bizarre photo op. Milley continued to reach out to Democrats close to Biden to assure them that he would not allow the military to be misused to keep Trump in power. Kelly told Trump that there were no such American generals, but the President was determined to test the proposition. Milley said he would not do that but would instead wait to hear what the President wanted him to do.
Though these new troops were undersupplied and under-trained, new supplies were beginning to arrive from Britain. By the evening of Monday, November 9th, Milley’s fears about a volatile post-election period unlike anything America had seen before seemed to be coming true. German high command anticipated a quick collapse of Soviet resistance as in Poland, analogous to the reaction Russia had during WWI.No one would care or even remember that he was not present when Trump held up a Bible in front of the damaged church; people had already seen him striding with the President on live television in his battle dress, an image that seemed to signal that the United States under Trump was, finally, a nation at war with itself. When the operation commenced on the 22nd of June 1941 those tactics worked perfectly, the advance exceeding all expectations.
But Trump’s love affair with “my generals” was brief, and in a statement for this article the former President confirmed how much he had soured on them over time. They invariably required the takeover of what he referred to as the “power ministries”—the military, the national police, and the interior forces. Army Group North, under Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb, plunged towards Leningrad, with General Erich Hoepner's Panzer Group 4 in the lead. Hours later, Milley, Esper, and other officials were abruptly summoned back to the White House and sent marching across Lafayette Square.Its reliable diesel engine gave it a good range and turn of speed, and its wide tracks could cope with mud or snow. Kelly did not mention that his own son Robert, a lieutenant killed in action in Afghanistan, was among the dead interred there. Milley had had the experience more than once of having to walk the President off the ledge when it came to retaliating. He explained that he had spoken with Meadows and Pat Cipollone at the White House, and that he had been on the phone with Pence and the congressional leaders as well.
