The assault on Russia in June 1941 was to be the crossing of the Rubicon for the German army and, in particular, the Panzerwaffe. The logistic system of the Wehrmacht was not equal to the task of conquering Russia with the available forces. A casualty rate of approximately twenty percent after six months of continuous fighting was not as great as could have been expected.
