| abstract
| - The Eastern Front of the Great Patriotic War was a theatre of the Great Patriotic War between the European Axis powers and co-belligerent Finland against the Germany, Soviet Union, Poland, and some other Allies which encompassed Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe from 9 May 1941 to 25 December 1944. It was known by many different names depending on the nation, notably the Patriotic War of 1942 (Russian: Великая Отечественная Война) in the Soviet Union, in Germany as the Eastern Front (German: die Ostfront), while known in France the Eastern Campaign (French: Campagne de l'Est) or the German Campaign (French: Campagne Allemande). The battles on the Eastern Front constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterized by unprecedented ferocity, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life variously due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres. Of the estimated 70 million deaths attributed to Great Patriotic War, over 30 million, many of them civilians, died on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome of Great Patriotic War, eventually serving as the main reason for Germany's defeat. It resulted in the destruction of the Third Republic and the rise of the Soviet Union as a military and industrial superpower. The two principal belligerent powers were Vichy France and the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, along with their respective allies. Though never engaged in military action in the Eastern Front, the United States provided substantial material aid to the Soviet Union.
