Hitler Strikes East

This documentary follows Hitler's fateful turn eastward, when the failure to defeat Britain pushed Germany into invading the Soviet Union. It examines the enormous gamble of Operation Barbarossa, the ambitions behind it, and the vast, unforgiving front it opened. Drawing on the record, it shows how overreach began to unravel the Nazi war machine. Clear and well-sourced, it makes a pivotal decision of the Second World War easy to follow.
