The Second Battle of Kharkov, fought in May 1942, was a decisive clash on the Eastern Front of World War II. The Soviet Red Army launched an ambitious offensive to retake Kharkov, believing Germany was weakened after the harsh winter. Initially successful, Soviet forces advanced deep into German lines. However, the Wehrmacht, led by Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, executed a brilliant counterattack. The Soviets were encircled in a massive pocket, suffering devastating losses of over 200,000 men. The battle ended with a crushing German victory, delaying Soviet advances and setting the stage for the upcoming Battle of Stalingrad.
