"A Batalha da Rússia". Um documentário realizado com imagens exclusivas, filmadas pelos soldados ou capturadas do inimigo. É a história da resistência do povo soviético diante dos temidos nazistas. Em 22 de junho de 1941 a Alemanha invade a antiga URSS. O Exército de Hitler acredita em uma batalha rápida, em poucos meses.
