The Wehrmacht in Russia
1 Army Group North
June 1941 saw Hitler launch his audacious bid to conquer Russia and his attempt to succeed where Napoleon had failed. Army Group North swept through the Russian defences and closed in on the iconic city of Leningrad in less then two months. So began the now infamous siege that would cost the lives of soldiers and civilians alike, and coin the phrase "the eternal war of the poor man". Away from Leningrad a titanic struggle ensued all along the front line, including operations in and around the Baltic Sea, Norway and Finland.

2 Army Group Centre
When Hitler ordered the invasion of the Soviet Union, his forces were divided into three separate theatres or groups, each responsible for different objectives.
Each operated semi-independently and faced unique challenges within the vast territory of the Russian interior. Primarily based on German combat footage, each episode is a broad portrait of the objectives, campaigns, and eventual fates
of these separate commands during the largest and most destructive land campaign ever launched. This tape follows the travails of Army Group Centre, the group tasked with the capture of Moscow. Barely turned aside during bitter winter fighting, this Group came closest to winning the war with Soviet Russia.
Later, the collapse of Army Group Center during the Soviet Operation Bagration, would lead to the collapse of Nazi Germany and the triumphant entry of Soviet forces into Berlin.

3 Army Group South
When Hitler ordered the invasion of the Soviet Union, his forces were divided into three separate theaters or groups, each responsible for different objectives.
Each operated semi-independently and faced unique within the vast territory of the Russian interior. Primarily based on German combat footage, each episode is a broad portrait of the objectives, campaigns, and eventual fates of these separate
commands during the largest and most destructive land campaign ever launched.
The objective of Army Group South was to capture the oil fields surrounding the Caucasus Mountains. This oil was critical to the future of the Nazi war effort.
Their indecision about whether the primary goal of the campaign should be Moscow or these oil fields effectively hamstrung the German Campaign and led to the eventual Soviet victory. Also covered is the disastrous battle of Stalingrad,
perhaps the most vicious of any battle during the war.
