Met operatie Barbarossa, de Duitse invasie van Rusland in de zomer van 1941, wenste Hitler niets minder te bereiken dan de vernietiging van het Sovjetcommunisme, de uitroeiing van de Joden en het scheppen van lebensraum voor het arische ras. Maar de Duitse opmars werd een kolossale mislukking en leidde tot de totale ineenstorting van het Derde Rijk. In Barbarossa presenteert Jonathan Dimbleby een nieuwe, meeslepend geschreven reconstructie van de meest beslissende veldslag uit de moderne g...

A gripping account of the Soviet victories of 1944 The year 1944 was the turning point of World War Two, and nowhere was this more evident than on the Eastern Front.

"The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril," wrote Winston Churchill in his monumental history of World War Two. Churchill's fears were well-placed-the casualty rate in the Atlantic was higher than in any other theater of the entire war. The enemy was always and constantly there and waiting, lying just over the horizon or lurking beneath the waves. In many ways, the Atlantic shipping lanes, where U-boats preyed on American ships, were the true front ...
