Unternehmen Barbarossa was the code name for the Nazi-Germany attack on the Soviet Union during world war 2. The background for the attack was Adolf Hitlers desire of conquer Soviet territory. The massive attack started as a success for Nazi Germany who initially won several important territories from the Soviet Union. However, the German attack was stopped and pushed back outside of Moscow, much due to weather and the limitations of the German supply line. The failure of Operation Barbarossa turned the tide in the war, but millions of lives were lost during the five months the operation lasted. |

On this day - June 11th 1962 - The Escape from Alcatraz
Several of the prisoners in the american high security prison Alcatraz tried to escape during their stay, but very few succeeded. The only escape attempt which might have been a success was the one by Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin in 1962. The two Anglin brothers were at alcatraz for robberies and earlier escape-attempts while the exceptionally smart Morris was in prison for burglary and a short, but successful escape attempt. The escape had been planed since 1961 when the prisoners found some discarded saw blades. The three prisoners left Papier-mâché to resemble their heads in Alcatraz and escaped through an unused utility corridor and unto an home-made raft which they had spent months building. The prisoners were never again seen, and until this day no one knows if they succeeded or drowned during their escape. The escape attempt continues to fascinate people and several tv-shows, movies and documentaries about the escape attempt have been created. Myth busters proved the prisoners survival was plausible, so did the History channel documentary in 2015. The most famous is probably the "Escape from Alcatraz" movie from 1979 with Clint Eastwood in the lead role.
