  Barbarossa review, by Tom Vasel
Barbarossa was on of the first "German" games that I have had the privilege to play.
The original Barbarossa was a large square box, while the new one is small and unassuming.
However, Barbarossa does add in a small bit of strategy of when players should use their jewels, what clue a player should guess at next, and the "letter dwarf"; so perhaps it will appeal more to gamers.

The failure of Operation Barbarossa to achieve its objectives within a limited time frame caused the Germans to lose the war by December 1941—everything after that was just trading ground for time until the eventual defeat.
One last note from this particular point in time that had an impact later on was the failure of the Russians to translate what the Nazis were doing in the field and adapt this to their own defensive strategy.
In essence, Germany was not prepared to deal with the large numbers of Russian personnel that would eventually be brought to bear against them because of their inability to quickly end the war in the east.
