(MENAFN- UkrinForm) On June 22, 1941, in spite of the secret non-aggression agreement (the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939) and the close military and economic cooperation between Germany and the USSR, Nazi Germany attacked Soviet units along the entire border line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. The German-Soviet war of 1941-1945 began as part but the main part of the Second World War.
Ukraine suffered most from Hitler's aggression and from the pernicious miscalculations of Stalin's leadership. The crushing wave of war twice went through its territory, reaching the smallest populated areas.
