June 22 1941

On a pleasant June morning in 1941, nothing seemed more peaceful than Red Square and Moscow itself. It was early summer and people were strolling along the broad streets, shopping in the big department stores or going to the country for the day. They did not know that Hitler's legions, five million strong, had crashed through a frontier 1,800 miles long at 4 a.m. that very morning. Nor did they know, until a government broadcast alerted them at noon, that the Soviet Union was at war. The Unknown War. The war that broke Hitler's back and ended his dream of a new order. Narrated by Burt Lancaster.
