The Russian Front

4 x 48 minute programmes

This is the story of one man’s obsession - an obsession that resulted in one of the most tragic and bloody episodes of World War Two.

Adolf Hitler’s infatuation with the conquest of the Soviet Union was to end in failure, the legacy of which was the death of millions and human suffering on an almost unimaginable scale.

This fascinating and often moving four-part mini series tells the whole story of the war in the east. It features comment, historical interpretation and military analysis by Professor John Erickson, the award- winning author of ’The Road To Stalingrad’ and ‘The Road to Berlin’. Acknowledged as the world’s leading authority on the war in the East, Professor Erickson brilliantly re-assesses the bloody conflict which cost so many lives and altered the entire course of the war.
