On this day 80 years ago, 22nd June 1941, Operation Barbarossa is launched.

"Citizens of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet government and its head, comrade Stalin, have ordered me to make the following announcement:
Today, at 4 o'clock in the morning, German troops have entered our country, without making any demands on the Soviet Union and without a declaration of war. They have attacked our borders in many places and have subjected our towns - Zhitomir, Kiev, Sevastopol, Kaunas and some others - to aerial bombardments during which more than 200 people have been killed or wounded. Hostile aerial attacks and artillery barrages have also taken place on Romanian and Finnish territory...

Our cause is just. The enemy shall be defeated. Victory shall be ours."

Excerpts from radio speech made by Vyacheslav M. Molotov, People's Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and broadcasted across the Soviet Union.
