In June 1941, the German high command launched Operation Barbarossa, which was highly successful. German armies, backed by units of their Axis allies, advanced far into the Soviet Union, overrunning the defending armies. The cities of Kiev and Minsk, capitols of the Ukrainian and Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republics, fell to the advancing Axis forces. Two puppet regimes, the Ukrainian Republic and the Belarusian Republic, were established in occupied Belarus and Ukraine. As they were being established, the German 8th, 11th, and 16th Armies began moving in on Moscow, with the V Panzer Corps. They were aided by the Hungarian Second Army, the Romanian Fourth Army, the 339th Croatian Infantry Regiment ("Croatian Legion"), and the Slovak First Army.

  • In June 1941, the German high command launched Operation Barbarossa, which was highly successful. German armies, backed by units of their Axis allies, advanced far into the Soviet Union, overrunning the defending armies. The cities of Kiev and Minsk, capitols of the Ukrainian and Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republics, fell to the advancing Axis forces. Two puppet regimes, the Ukrainian Republic and the Belarusian Republic, were established in occupied Belarus and Ukraine. As they were being established, the German 8th, 11th, and 16th Armies began moving in on Moscow, with the V Panzer Corps. They were aided by the Hungarian Second Army, the Romanian Fourth Army, the 339th Croatian Infantry Regiment ("Croatian Legion"), and the Slovak First Army. After taking the surrounding cities and towns, the Axis forces prepared to strike. In late May, the Soviet leadership evacuated the city, and relocated to the southern city of Ufa. Stalin coordinated the defense from there, and the overall field commander was Marshal Georgy Zhukov. The Soviet 14th, 21st, 25th, and 30th Armies were mobilized for the defense of Moscow, aided by the 26th and 32nd Air Armies of the Soviet Air Force. The city was heavily fortified, and the command set themselves up in the Kremlin. General Aleksandr Vasilevsky led directly from the front. The German forces were led by General Hienz Guderian, the Hungarians were commanded by General Gusztáv Jány, while the Croatian Legion was led by Lieutenant Colonel Marko Mesić. After a few days of planning, they decided to begin the attack on July 2.
