The Unknown War - Ep10 The Partisans avi

Additional segments depict the incredible 900 day siege of Leningrad, the Battle of Moscow in which Hitler, for the first time, tasted defeat; the siege of Stalingrad, which broke the back of the German military machine, the thrusts to liberate the cities of Russia and the Ukraine, the sweep into Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and the climactic battle of Berlin.



The Unknown War was made as a counter to the deliberate distortions in the Anglo-American series The World At War, which chose to give as much coverage to the US in Italy as it did to the Red Army at war from the Arctic to the Black Sea. So blatant was the politically motivated distortion in The World At War that the Soviet authorities ultimately refused to cooperate in its production. Instead they set out to make a documentary series of their own that would tell the real story of the War in the East.
