When Hitler decided to launch his invasion (1) of Russia, he thought that nothing could stand in the way (2)of his armies. Conquest (3), it seemed was inevitable. He had surprise on his side, catching Stalin off his guard (4) by launching(5) his attack without a declaration (6)of war. Hitler expected the campaign (7)to last only a few months. In the event, it was to drag on (8)for much longer. Like Napoleon before him, he had made a fatal mistake in failing to reckon with (9) the severity of the Russian weather. Many German soldiers were to die from the cold as winter set in, bringing the German advance to a halt (10).

解析：

（1）填invasion, 可参考P.6第12段中invasion的用法，invasion后接的介词常是of，但campaign或attack后常跟介词against；

（5）填launching，常见搭配launch an attack；

（6）填declaration，常见搭配without a declaration of war；

（9）填reckon with，参见P.8第21段的内容；

（10）填bringing to a halt，参加P.7第16段最后一句话。
