The Eastern Front 1941-1945

We trace the events leading up to Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. We follow the German army's relentless advance before the onset of winter fi nally stops their invasion. Incredible footage illustrates the conduct of the campaign as the German Army marches towards the final turning point at Stalingrad.

We trace the course of the Soviet counterattack that finally halted the Nazi invasion and follow Soviet forces as they begin their long, bloody march to Berlin. Also included is spellbinding previously unreleased footage of the Battle of Kursk (the largest tank battle ever fought in human history), and the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet forces.
