A Barbarossa-terv – a mából
The Barbarossa Plan – in Retrospective

Summary/Abstract: The Barbarossa Plan, which ordered the attack on the Soviet Union, had deep historical roots and a profound impact on the fate of the Hungarians. The author of the paper briefly presents the antecedents from the history of ideas, on the basis of which the aim of the Williamite liberal imperialist Germany was to achieve European hegemony and the position of a dominant world power. Hitler’s Germany wanted the same thing with the enormous difference of race theory. Therefore, the study also answers why no document signed by Hitler ordering the Endlösung was ever produced. In the meantime, the reader learns why the Führer was sure of Hungary’s unsolicited participation in the aggression, and how Berlin forced the Hungarian leadership to send the 2nd Hungarian Army to the Eastern Front in early 1942.
