00:00Russia, mid-June 1941, a bewildered, uncertain country, rumours abounded of invasion by Hitler's

00:29Germany.

00:55and complacent, as if by ignoring it, it might disappear.

01:06Yet already, millions of German troops were poised along Russia's border to launch the

01:11bloodiest land battle in history, the battle that was eventually to decide the Second

01:16World War.

02:40Hitler in July 1940, returning from France in triumph, stood at the pinnacle of his power.

03:10The speed and sureness of his victories had astonished even his generals.

03:16Their doubts had been answered, their opposition could be discounted.

03:23It was now that Hitler confided to them, it would be the Russians' turn next.

03:29In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler had written,

03:39When we speak of new territory, we must think of Russia.

03:43Destiny itself points the way there.
