Eastern Front 1941: The Kyiv Encirclement & Siege of Leningrad | WWII Documentary

By the summer of 1941, Hitler’s Wehrmacht had invaded deep into the Soviet Union under Operation Barbarossa.

The destruction of the Soviet Southwestern Front
Hitler’s obsession with Moscow and the coming Operation Typhoon
