They Were ORDERED to Cross… Most Never Came Back (Dnieper 1943) (Real Footage)

The River That Swallowed 2 Million Men: The Deadliest Crossing of WWII.

In this WW2 documentary, we explore the harrowing story of the Dnieper River crossing, where the Red Army was ordered to cross a 1-kilometer-wide river with nothing but barn doors and their bare hands.

In the autumn of 1943, Stalin issued a "suicide order" during the Eastern Front that would either break the German Ostwall or annihilate his own army. This is the story of the Battle of the Dnieper, the deadliest water crossing in military history and a cold equation written in blood.

How Hitler’s "impenetrable" Eastern Wall (Ostwall) was dismantled.
