Synopsis

22nd June, 1941, 3 am: Nazi Germany invades the Soviet Union. Code name: Barbarossa, one of the fiercest confrontations in human history. Between June and December 1941, ten million soldiers will combat in monstrously huge battles… Five million men, women and children will perish. How has the USSR managed to remain standing in the face of such an assault? The Stalinian Regime emphasizes the role of the Great Patriotic War, but the voices emerging from the brazier are telling a whole other story…
