Joseph Stalin Part 3: Hitler Attacks
Hitler invades Russia, and Stalin's legacy is bound up with a bloody fight to the death.
Stalin鈥檚 regime hits the rocks when Adolf Hitler launches Operation Barbarossa and invades Russia. Nazi tanks plough towards Moscow in a devastating advance. Stalin鈥檚 legacy is forged in this fight to the death. In his final years, the strongman succumbs to cardiac problems. His tools for progress have been famine, slavery and execution. Yet to this day, some of his countrymen and women lionise him as the man who turned Russia into a superpower.
