Battles Of Kharkov
The Battle of Kharkov was any one of four World War II battles in and near the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv (known in Russian language, Russian as ''Kharkov'').

For example, soldiers have received awards "for their action in the Battle of Kharkov". The four named battles are: * First Battle of Kharkov, an October 1941 battle in which German troops captured the city * Second Battle of Kharkov, a May 1942 battle in which Soviet forces attempted to retake the city * Third Battle of Kharkov, a February 1943 battle in which Soviet forces were driven out again, and the Germans forces retook the city * Belgorod–Kharkov offensive operation, an August 1943 battle in which Soviet forces retook the city.

World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. World War II was a total war that directly involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries. The major participants in the war threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and deploying the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Second Battle of Kharkov or Operation Fredericus was an Axis counter-offensive in the region around Kharkov against the Red Army Izium bridgehead offensive conducted 12–28 May 1942, on the Eastern Front during World War II.
