Answer:

Three army groups—including more than three million German soldiers, supported by 650,000 troops from Germany's allies (Finland and Romania), and later augmented by units from Italy, Croatia, Slovakia and Hungary—attacked the Soviet Union across a broad front. This front stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south.
