Eighty years ago, exactly in the summer of 1941, on June 22, 1941, German military forces invaded the Soviet Union, beginning one of the largest military campaigns of the entire Second World War. We will start from this issue of the magazine to retrace the fundamental stages of the war on the Eastern front, dealing, as always, mainly with foreign voluntary units. Let's now analyze the contents of this new issue of the magazine. Let's start with the history of the Walloon Legion on the Eastern front, we continue with the second part of the history of the Frikorps Danmark, with the use of the Nord Division in the summer of 1941 on the Finnish front and finally we close with an article dedicated to the insignia used by the Italian volunteers in the Waffen SS.
