The Untold Story of the 1941 German Invasion of the Soviet Union | Operation Barbarossa Revealed

Originally titled "Soviet Fights Back! Russia Halts Hitler!" and dating back to 1941, this remarkable American newsreel offers a vivid portrayal of how the Russians effectively halted the eastward advance of the Germans during World War 2, specifically during the invasion of the Soviet Union known as Operation Barbarossa. The film showcases Russian footage accompanied by English narration.

At the time of its production, the United States had not yet become involved in the war. (The US maintained an official stance of neutrality and refrained from entering the conflict until after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which occurred on December 7, 1941.) Despite the deep-seated mistrust and animosity between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies, Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 swiftly forged an unexpected alliance between the Soviets and the two leading powers in what Soviet leaders had long referred to as the "imperialist camp": Britain and the United States. Just three months following this invasion, the United States initiated support for the Soviet Union through the enactment of the Lend-Lease Act in March 1941. The Lend-Lease program represented the most visible symbol of wartime collaboration between the United States and the Soviet Union.
