Stalingrad: Struggle in the East Christian Shakespeare

1941: Germany Invades the Soviet Union?.. By 1942, with Russia still in the war, Germany desperately needs oil, so embarks on a fanatic drive south to the Soviet oilfields of the Caucuses and east to an industrial city called Stalingrad. Germans and Soviets fought over the bombed out ruins and charred streets amongst the wider battles on the Russian steppe. Two dictators, one in Berlin, the other in Moscow play out a battle of unprecedented violence and unrelenting harshness. Two ideologies, mass slaughter of two million people in one of the great and bloodiest turning points of the Second World War.
