Battlefield Russia: Eastern Front

Following the successful Blitzkrieg lightning war that devastated Western Europe, Hitler's minions naively foresaw countering the U.S.S.R. as a piece of cake. Instead, countless Russian soldiers waylaid the Nazis on the ice-encrusted plains of Stalingrad, waging a brutal battle of attrition that wore the Germans down and led to their immediate demise. As narrated by Tim Pigot-Smith (QUANTUM OF SOLACE), this tripartite documentary package BATTLEFIELD RUSSIA: THE EASTERN FRONT covers the three battles that were pivotal in this Russian victory - The Battle for Russia, The Battle for Stalingrad and The Battle for Berlin - emphasizing biographical profiles of various military leaders, discussion of the weaponry used, the political circumstances leading up to each battle, and much more.
