By January 1942, the mechanized forces with which the Soviet Union began the war a bare six months earlier were gone. Of the mass of tank, mechanized, and motorized rifle divisions that went into battle, a handful of survivors were left. Of the mechanized corps, the largest tank formations in the world in June 1941, not one remained. Of the 22,600 tanks in the army on 22 June, 20,500 had been lost. No other army in the world had such a huge investment in mechanized forces before the war. No other army had lost such a huge amount of armor in so short a time - nor would any army, even the Soviet Army, ever suffer such a loss again.
