Description:
This documentary examines the German Wehrmacht's invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union during World War II, and its impact on the German military. In June 1941, "Operation Barbarossa" began a war intended for the annihilation of the Soviet Union and its people. The Wehrmacht aided SS Einsatzgruppen in mass shootings and committed widespread war crimes. The planned swift victory ultimately failed due to insufficient resources and flawed strategies. Using newly discovered amateur footage from German soldiers and rare Russian archives, Spiegel-TV author Nina Adler details these events. Expert interviews with military historian Rolf-Dieter Müller and authors Sönke Neitzel and Harald Welzer provide context, revealing a war that fundamentally altered Germany's image.
