- The Second Battle of Kharkov was a battle that took place between Germany and the Soviet Union. The battle itself began on May 12, 1942 and ended on the 28th. The battle resulted in the German defense of the city and also the encirclement of numerous Soviet troops. The failure is often attributed to the Soviet inability to account for the military strength of the Wehrmacht as well as the reorganize their troops. The initial purpose of the attack on Kharkov was for the Soviets to retake the previously captured strategic city of Kharkov assuming that they were now better prepared to deal with the German troops that had caught them off guard the previous year. Although the Germans were initially caught off guard themselves, quick thinking and tenacious German counterattacks eventually defeated the Soviet attackers and secured the successfully defended city of Kharkov.
