The organisation and tactics of German infantry before the Second World War were strongly influenced by experiences from the First World War and military theories developed during the 1920s and 1930s, with offensive warfare playing a central role. In 1939, a first-wave infantry division numbered around 17,700 men, organised into three infantry regiments with three battalions each and supported by artillery, anti-tank, engineer and communications units. The Wehrmacht also made extensive use of machine guns and, for the period, modern communications and command systems. This organisation changed considerably during the war: from 1943, a traditional infantry division numbered around 12,500 men, heavy artillery was reduced and anti-tank defence strengthened. Some divisions were converted into Panzergrenadier divisions, while an estimated 350 infantry divisions served in the Wehrmacht throughout WWII.

Operation Barbarossa began on 22 June 1941, marking the start of the German-Soviet War and large-scale fighting on the Eastern Front. More than 4.5 million Axis troops, approximately 3,600 tanks and around 2,900 aircraft were committed, divided between Army Groups North, Centre and South with Leningrad, Moscow and Ukraine among their principal objectives. Although the Wehrmacht achieved enormous tactical and operational successes and inflicted severe losses on the Red Army, the Soviet Union was not defeated. Operation Barbarossa therefore ultimately became a strategic failure for Germany.
