On June 22nd 1941 three German Army Groups launched a surprise attack on Soviet Russia. The most barbaric and brutal struggle in history was about to be played out to the death. History is always written by the victors, but this documentary focuses on the other side of the coin. This series shows the war in Russia from the German experience, a powerful study of that titanic conflict as seen through contemporary German newsreels and told in the words of the men who fought and died for Hitler. Each episode traces the fate of the three army troops which began the campaign and follows the course of this vicious campaign as the optimism of Barbarossa inexorably rolls on. THE WEHRMACHT IN RUSSIA looks back at June 22, 1941, when three massive German Army groups took a band of Soviet soldiers by surprise, kicking off a brutal, drawn-out battle to the death. This gripping historical documentary offers rarely-seen German newsreel footage and includes interviews with men who were on the frontlines. (Source: TheTVDB)

Season 1 (show/hide)
3	Army Group South
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.
2	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.
1	Army Group Centre	2009-05-19
This episode follows the travails of Army Group Center, 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.
