Could you please help me paraphrase this English sentence?
“The Germans had invaded Russia on an enormous front."
It's from Churchill's speech.
My version is "The Germans had invaded Russia and an enormous number of German troops fought against Russia forces on the territory of Russia."
Am I right??
Thank you in advance.：）

No, it's not about the number of soldiers. It's about the battlefront, or frontier.

“The Germans had invaded Russia on an ENORMOUS front." > The word to watch here is "enormous front " ; it did not mention the no. of German soldiers nor the battle took place inside Russia ( probably at the Russian border )
> The Germans had invaded Russia and the simultaneous attacks were spread across a wide span of territory.
