"Nazis invades Russia!" is an episode of MrSpherical, depicting Operation Barbarossa.
Despite agreeing to a nonaggression pact in 1939, Hitler eventually pulled the old switcheroo on the USSR, and in 1941 launched an invasion known as Operation Barbarossa. But Hitler under-estimated the Red Army's reserves, as well as the stability of it's government... and, of course, made the classic mistake that everyone makes: don't get caught in a military campaign on Russian soil in the winter! You will lose. Every. Single. Time. Also ice zombies.
1941. In Moscow, the Soviets are awaiting the Germans to arrive, with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin claiming that it would be the fight of their lives. A Soviet troop notices the Germans, and claims that they are -
In 1940, Paris was on the brink of collapse. The French fought against the Germans, but are hopeless against the more powerful German army. The Germans take control of all of France, shooting guns in celebration.
In Berlin, a German advisor tells Adolf Hitler that most of France is under their control, and the war would end in a German victory. Hitler claims that it is not enough, and they still need more space to expand. The German advisor suggests the universe, but Hitler claims that it is too big, the Sun is too hot, and the Moon, being stage 5 of Hitler's master plan. When his advisor suggests Russia, however, Hitler gets an idea.
Hitler announces to his people that they will create a Germanic territory across Eastern Europe, and they will invade the USSR to achieve it. Seeing how quickly France fell, he believed that the USSR would fall the same.
On June 22, 1941, three million German troops and Luftwaffe units crossed into the Soviet border, chanting "Operation Barbarossa!" As he Luftwaffe started flying into Soviet territory, Hitler says that if an invasion of Russia were to happen, they would need air superiority, which they didn't over the British. Hitler then radios the Luftwaffe, telegramming them to drop bombs over Soviet bases, which they do.
As a Soviet citizen wakes up to another beautiful day, they notice that German bombs are being dropped an him. He survives, but his airforce is crippled. In Moscow, an advisor notifies Soviet leader Joseph Stalin about the surprise attack, who is caught off guard due to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact signed with Hitler, but the advisor tells Stalin that the Gernans don't care.
The Germans continue advancing, capturing large amounts of Soviet territory, across the snow. Soon, they have captured Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Hitler, claiming victory, says that only Moscow is needed to complete the invasion. Hitler claims that the USSR is already in German hands. After Hitler does a maniacal laugh, his advisor questions if they are the bad guys, to which Hitler claims that they are.
The Germans keep on advancing towards Moscow, and many Soviet troops are either killed or captured. Stalin's advisor warns him, but sees that the Germans have stopped advancing to focus on other places. Stalin claims that it would give them time to resupply, and that the Germans are underestimating the Soviets, but it would not be vice versa. Stalin claims that winter is coming.
In the midst of a blizzard, Stalin gathers his troops and claims that the Germans should be approaching now. Across the blizzard, they see the Germans in the middle of the battlefield, all frozen due to their lack of winter clothing. Stalin makes some ice puns, and the Soviets start pushing the Germans back.
Hitler's advisor tells him that the invasion failed, due to the winter, but Hitler gets mad at his advisor.
