This two-DVD set covers the Eastern Front, the most brutal theater of World War II. The struggle lasted four years, and claimed twenty-eight million lives. Witness the achievements and the heroism of the men and women who endured the fighting and suffered on a scale almost unimaginable in the West.

DISC 1: THE ROAD TO STALINGRAD
We trace the events leading up to Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. We follow the German army’s relentless advance before the onset of winter finally stops their invasion. Incredible footage illustrates the conduct of the campaign as the German Army marches towards the final turning point at Stalingrad.

DISC 2: THE ROAD TO BERLIN
We trace the course of the Soviet counterattack that finally halted the Nazi invasion and follow Soviet forces as they begin their long, bloody march to Berlin. Also included is spellbinding previously unreleased footage of the Battle of Kursk (the largest tank battle ever fought in human history), and the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet forces.
