Early Plans for Operation Barbarossa Before the Invasion of Poland?

Operation Barbarossa started in 1941. But was this when the German High Command really wanted to start it? Could they have started it earlier, before the invasion of Poland in 1939. Well, Roff-Dieter Müller's "Enemy in the East" sheds some light on what plans were being developed, and what could have happened had a war broke out before Germans invaded Poland.

Thank you to Diego Torres-Siclait for today's question!

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
