Defense of Brest Fortress : ウィキペディア英語版 | Defense of Brest Fortress
The defence of Brest Fortress took place 22–29 June 1941. It was one of the first battles of Operation Barbarossa. The Brest Fortress, defended by the Red Army against the Wehrmacht, held out longer than expected and, after the Second World War had finished, became a symbol of Soviet resistance. In 1965 the fortress received the title of Hero Fortress for the 1941 defense. ==Background==
The area around the nineteenth-century Brest Fortress was the site of the 1939 Battle of Brześć Litewski, when German forces captured it from Poland during the Polish September Campaign. However, according to the terms of the 1939 German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact the territory around Brest as well as 52% of the then Poland was assigned to the Soviet Union.〔Robert Kirchubel, ''Operation Barbarossa 1941 (3): Army Group Center'', Osprey Publishing, 2007, ISBN 1-84603-107-9, (Google Print, p.44 )〕 Thus, in the summer of 1941, the Germans had to capture the fortress yet again - this time from the Soviets. The Germans planned to seize Brest and the Brest Fortress which was located in the path of Army Group Centre during the first hours of Operation Barbarossa. The fortress and the city controlled the crossings over the Bug River, as well as the Warsaw–Moscow railway and highway.
