Tanks! Barbarossa

German armor played a pivotal role in Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi
attack on the Soviet Union in June of 1941. In this program we look at
German tanks, their role, deployment and the tactics in the first critical
weeks of the Nazi invasion. Time and again, German Panzer divisions led
the breakthroughs through the Soviet lines of defense and made possible
the stunning advances of German forces. This episode features rare archive
film, informative 3-D graphics, new footage of surviving machines, and
the views of some of the leading authorities on armored warfare, including
David Fletcher of the Royal Tank Museum, German army veteran Gerry
Majewski, and author and historian Bob Carruthers.
