All language subtitles for Battle For Moscow 2

THE BATTLE OF MOSCOW.

Germany - The Wolf's Lair
05 September 1941

Gentlemen. Today, we must
discuss Directive Nr. 35

regarding the decisive operation
and offensive against Moscow

It concerns the annihilation of
the Russians before Winter
arrives

The offensive will take place
east of Smolensk by means

of a double encirclement
in the region of Vyazma

After the encirclement and
destruction of the enemy,
which is vitally important

Army Group Center will be
ordered to take Moscow

My Fuehrer! At last, my old
yearning is being fulfilled:

starting an offensive against the
bulk of the Russian troops

Hopefully, we'll continue
to have good weather

since the necessary reserve
units will not be available
before the end of September

I suggest calling the operation
"October Harvest“

set to finish on 07 November
in Red Square

No, that'd be too great an
honor for the Bolsheviks

We'll call it "Typhoon“.

For the attack on Moscow, the
German High Command selected
powerful forces

Not once during the Second
World War

except during the campaign
for Moscow, were three
tank armies

1,800,000 men, 7,000 tanks
and up to 2,000 airplanes put
into action at once

On 30 September 1941, two
days before the start of the
general offensive

Guderian‘s tanks army attacked
the left flank of the front at
Bryansk

He was supported with every
kind of plane available to Army
Group Center

After powerful artillery and air
assaults, German mechanized
units broke

the tactical defense lines of
the Bryansk Front and began
to move on Orel

Moscow - General Staff
01 October 1941

Chief of Staff of the Red Army
Marshal Shaposhnikov

You must save the situation!

Your mission is to prevent
Guderian's armor from
advancing on Orel

Within four to five days, you'll
need to prepare the 1st Rifle
Corps

From what I understand, there
1's no corps, except for its
commanding officer!

You've understood correctly.
Up to now, there isn't one

You are to make up your staff
from the best officers available
among the tank units

And consider which reserve
units can be integrated
into your corps in four days

Comrade Stalin is calling
for General Lelushenko

For you, too, Boris Mijailovich.

The situation's changed abruptly

Guderian's already close to Orel

Your corps will need to be put
together within two days, not
five

Comrade Lelushenko, you must
fly to Orel

and find out what's going
on over there in person

Allow me to tell you my plans!
- Go ahead.

It doesn't make sense to fly
Orel; there are no troops there.

Give me command of the 36th
Regiment of motorcycle troops

and the artillery school at Tula
and I'll confront Guderian here.

I think we should accept
his recommendation,
Comrade Stalin

Fine. Don't let the enemy
advance beyond Mtsensk
- As ordered, Comrade Stalin

Mtsensk
03 October 1941

Whose tanks are these?

Who's asking?
- General Lelushenko

Colonel Katukov, commander
of the 4th Tank Brigade, at
your service.

How many tanks do you have'?
- Sixteen

Sixteen? Not so many.

Suburbs of Mtsensk
04 October 1941

Where shall we place
the tanks, Colonel?

They'll attack the enemy's
open flanks and smash them
in a pincer movement

Agreed. That's a good idea.
We'll put the tanks where
we can ambush them best.

Over there. In the woods.

Artillery, fire!

Colonel, send in the tanks!
- Yes sir!

A little more and the enemy
will start retreating.

We don't have "a little more".
We threw everything we had
into the battle

A katyusha division's arrived

Captain Chumak, commander of
a mortar division

I was told to provide you a salvo

Why so little?
- It'll be enough.

You might want to warn the
men in the forward lines, so
they don't panic.

Take care of that! I've already
heard about your katyushas

I heard the Germans shit their
pants when you used them in
Orsha. Show us what you got!

Tokyo
04 October 1941

Good morning, Mr. Ambassador

I need your advice, sir, as to
which information we're able
to give to the press

What's the most important news?
- I'd stress our offensive against
Moscow

Although it won't change a thing
- That's unfortunately my opinion
as well

The Japanese don't seem to care
about our successes
- Really?

I sent a message to Berlin
explaining that Japan won't
declare war on Russia

before the Spring of 1942.

That's the final decision of the
Japanese government?

Yes, they will enter the war
when we have it won.

I'm sorry, would you like
some tea?

No, thank you, I have a press
conference to attend

They're following me. I think
our luck's starting to run out

Are you ready?
- Perhaps we should hold off
tonight, Richard

No, it's too important.

The text reads as follows:
“There'll be no war this year"

"Ramzai, 04 October 1941."

I've assumed a great
responsibility.

Now they have to believe me.

They can't have any doubts
about me now. They can't.

That was the last transmission
of Richard Sorge

Moscow - Supreme Command

05 October 1941
0300 hours

On 02 October, Army Group
Center went on the offensive

Army Group Center, which is
numerically superior to our
forces

has advanced in the last 48 hours
and is threatening the flanks of
the entire Western Front

The situation's further
complicated by the fact

that in the direction of Moscow,
there are no strategic reserves
to defend the capital. That's all

Germany's forces are way too
strong to stop with the forces
we have available

Unfortunately, some military
leaders didn't live up to the
events around them

They were confident of their
bravery or class consciousness

But you need to be well-trained
in military matters t0 repulse
the enemy

They seem to lack expertise in
military matters, especially in
the technological field

What should we be doing
differently? First

Things are improving on the
Leningrad Front

I therefore recommend we oall
back Zhukov from Leningrad
immediately

Second: We've received reliable
reports that the Japanese won't
attack in the Far East

So, some of our rifle divisions
and all of our tanks can be
withdrawn from there

and brought quickly and
directly to Moscow.

Third: The Urban Committee
of the Party must recruit more
men for the People's Militia

The watchword'|| be "Everything
for the defense of Moscow!"

Moscow - Military Council for
the Moscow Region

05 October 1941

Comrade Division Commissar!

Air recon has detected the
movement of enemy tanks
towards Yugnov

That's impossible!
- The information is accurate.

A column of tanks with infantry
has penetrated 15 miles into
ourfines.

The pilots were flying low and
could clearly see the fascist
crosses on the tanks

and received heavy anti-aircraft
fire from the ground.

Is there no way they can be
mistaken?

No, they're experienced pilots.
They're not mistaken.

We'll have to consult with
General Staff HQ

Marshal Shaposhnikov!
- Shaposhnikov speaking.

Do you have any new information
about the Western Front?

Nothing new.

They have no information.

In our rear, German tanks are
advancing on Moscow with no
one to oppose them

It'd be criminal to sound the
alarm without confirming the
veracity of the information

I must ask you to carry out
this order as quickly and
urgently as you can.

Send our best pilots. They're
to fly low and confirm whose
tanks and infantry they are

How far away are they?

The vanguard of the column
is right outside Yugnov.

That's 120 miles from Moscow.

We must inform HQ!

Get me Marshal Shaposhnikov!

Have you still not gotten any
reports about the Western
Front?

What's with these calls? Why
do you keep asking me the
same thing?

Air recon reports the Germans
are right outside Yugnov.

Is it possible your pilots may
be mistaken?

No, they're not!
- That's impossible!

We've received no such
report!

Teleguin’?
- Yes, Comrade Stalin.

Are you the one who told
Shaposhnikov that there
was a breakthrough at Yugnov?

Where did you get that
information from and
who's confirmed it?

The information was reported
by our best pilots and then
confirmed

What measures have you taken?

I ordered the personnel of two
military schools and an academy
into battle

Gather up even/one capable of
fighting

This is my order for the military
commanders of the district:

You're responsible to stop the
enemy, no matter what the cost,
in no more than five days!

Podolsk Infantry School

Comrade General!

Why don't the cadets have coats?

Supply officer!

Why aren't the cadets
wearing coats?

We haven't been able to equip
all the companies with Winter
uniforms, Comrade General

Everyone is to have a coat by
tomorrow! Understood?

Director of Podolsk Infantry
School

Major General Smirnov

A group of enemy tanks has
broken through the front lines

and is moving towards Moscow

You're our only hope

You must hold the Germans for
three days. Only three days!

We're poorly armed and short
of ammunition

but, despite that, we must be
worthy of our traditions

and of the Red cadets who
fought in the Civil War

We swear to do our duty!

We vow not to let the enemy
approach Moscow!

We swear it! We swear it!
We swear it!

From this moment on, you
will obey my orders.

You will march out of Podolsk
with gallantry, singing!

We will sing the old songs
with gusto!

The sixth company will be
in the vanguard.

Sixth company, listen
to my order!

Sixth company: attention!

Right face!

Shoulder arms!
Eyes forward, march!

Sing!

Remember! I remember
the provincial city

peaceful, lost and sad.

The church and the market and
its boulevards.

Couples would come and
sometimes I saw

that well-known, dear silhouette

Blue beret, blue coat

The girl's poise hidden by
a dark skirt

Oh, my fleeting romance!

Tania, Taniusha, my Tatiana.

Remember that hot summer?

Can we forget

the time we had to love?

Company, halt!

Halt! Where are you going?
- What do you care?

I'm seizing this vehicle in the
name of the high command

This truck belongs to the
Executive Committee and
those are my personal items

We need it for the front.
Sorry!

Fi||'pp0v! Unload the truck!

What's going on? What are they
doing? Haven't you heard? I'm
from the Executive Committee!

I understood; but you don't
understand Russia. This is
more important than rank.

That's how it is. Russia can
only be understood with the
soul

And you, papa, don't get it.

You're in for a big surprise

Vyazma
06 October 1941

Major General Nikitin,
commander of the garrison
at Vyazma

How are things?
- There's panic in the city.

They say German tanks are
on their way from Yugnov

and that we've no troops
in Vyazma

Where are the authorities?
- In the church.
Get in! We'll drive there.

Popov, secretary of the
Smolensk Regional Committee.

It'll be alright, Comrades.
He's our new commander in chief.

Sorry to disappoint you.
I'm the C-in-C, but I have
no troops.

I was assured the 16th Army
would be here with at least
five divisions!

There are German tanks
in the city!
- From which direction?

I saw them from the belfry.

We must leave
the city at once!

Comrade Commander, what
are you doing?

You're taking off and leaving
us to our fate?

We gave everything we had to
the Red Army, down to the last
shirt!

I'm an old soldier. I fought the
Germans in the last war

We never left them to trample
our land. And what are you
doing now?

Forgive us, Father!

We will return. For sure.

Turn right!

Moscow
07 October 1941

The boss is sick with the flu

But he ordered me to take
you straight to him.

I await your orders,
Comrade Stalin

What's new in Leningrad?

The Germans are using less
force in their attacks

They suffered heavy casualties
in September

so now, they're digging in

Several enemy armored and
motorized columns are leaving
Leningrad and heading south

They are probably moving in
the direction of Moscow.

Let me show you something!

We've run into a very
difficult situation here

I can't reach the Western Front.
I haven't a clue what's going on
over there

We can't make a decision
without knowing

where and with what forces
the enemy will attack

and how our troops are doing
in this section

Go to the Western Front and
take a good look at how things
are going!

Call me from there, regardless
of the time. I'll be waiting for
your report.

General Staff of the Western
Front
08 October ‘I941

Why do your reports not notify
Comrade Stalin about the actual
situation at the front?

Because we do not know what
the actual situation is.

No. You know the situation quite
well. You know the troops are
surrounded

and that they have no reserves.

The situation changes from
moment to moment.

We trust, that it will soon change
in our favor.

Do you trust the troops to break
the encirclement?

They could've avoided it had
you noticed the main direction
of enemy attacks

and had concentrated all the
reserves at that point

But you didn't, although you
had two months to do so

It's not so difficult to figure out
the Germans' strategy.

It's always the same attacks
with mechanized troops against
the flanks

But don't worry: I didn't
come here to pass judgment

I'm simply stating my opinion.
Good day.

We're approaching Protva.

When I was young, I knew this
place from top to bottom

Strelkovka's about six miles
from here. That's my home
village

My mother and my sister with
her four children live there

Shall we visit them, Comrade
General?

No, there's no time.

Comrade General, what will
become of your mother and
sister

if the fascists arrive and find
out they're related to General
Zhukov?

Let's go! At least, we can tell
them to leave.

Impossible!

In two weeks, the Germans
would indeed occupy Strelkovka

Zhukov would save his mother
and his sister at the very last
moment

but his house would go up in
flames, like the whole village.

You can't go on. Who are you?

General Zhukov. Where's your
unit located?

The staff of the armored brigade
is in the forest

Colonel Troitski, commander of
the armored brigade

My comrade at Halkin-Gol!
I didn't expect to see you here.

Quite a surprise for me, too.
I thought you were in Leningrad

Tell me, what's going on here!
- The armored brigade is part
of HQ's reserve

So far, I've received no orders
- Well, now the brigade will be
under my command.

No tank is to move without an
order from me. Clear?
- Understood, Comrade General

Deploy part of the brigade
and organize the defense

with the goal of sealing
off Medyn
- Understood

Send a communications
officer with me. I wish you
success.

Would you like a cup of tea?
- No, I can't

Comrade Lieutenant, people
from above have arrived

Come here!

Commander of the 6th company
of the Infantry School, Podolsk.
Lieutenant Mamich

How long have you been here?
- Three days.

How did you organize
the defense?

We pushed the enemy back
to the other bank of the Ugra

Our defensive line passes
through the eastern bank

How many men do you have?
- 140.

With sixty more, we could
strengthen the defense.

Give him 100 men!
- That will be difficult,
Comrade General.

We don't have the men to pull
from other defensive areas

I know that. Pull them from
wherever you have to!

And what if you're not able
to hold out even with the
reinforcements?

We'll hold out. Without fail,
Comrade General

Pay attention! The fascists will
not come from the Ugra

Tell the cadets!
- Yes sir!

Wait, I'll tell them myself.

Why German military coats?

They were taken as booty. They
warm the soldiers better than
ours

Are you drunk?

The parachutists gave each of
us 100 grams against the cold

It's too cold to walk about
without a coat, Comrade
General

How is that possible?
- The quartermaster failed
to distribute winter clothing

The quartermaster will face
a court martial

I want everyone to be given
a coat by this evening. That's
an order!

Cadets! Not one step back!
Not one inch! Fight to the
last man!

Children, please! Try and hold
out here two more days!

Two more days.

The coats, by nightfall!
- Yes, sir!

Do you know with whom you
were speaking?

No, we don't know.

Never forget him! That was
Zhukov

Moscow
09 October 1941

Mama, I'm going to the front;
I volunteered.

The front?
- But don't tell anyone!

If asked, tell them I went
to see grandpa in the village

Do you think you're strong
enough to do this? Why do
you have to go? Why you?

I, myself, asked to be sent
to the front.

If you were healthy, you
would've done the same

Anyway, I can't stay here
any longer. I can't.

Staff Headquarters
of the Western Front
‘I0 October ‘I941

Comrade Marshal! The staff of
the 16th Army has broken the
encirclement at Vyazma

Commander of the 16th Army
Lieutenant General Rokossovski

How do you explain coming to
Vyazma with your staff, but not
with the troops of the 16th Army?

The front commander ordered
me to deliver command of my
troops to General Yershakov

I'm to take command of five
new divisions in Vyazma

But there were no soldiers
in Vyazma!

Peculiar

The order was signed by
General Koniev and Military
Council member Bulganin

Yes, I gave the order to pull

Rokossovski out of a possible
encirclement

He was to take command
of five divisions in Vyazma

and counterattack against
the Germans

But those divisions went into
combat and weren't able to
reach Vyazma

The State Council of Defense
Commission is here to clarify

the causes for the failures
on the Western Front.

It will also take into account
this strange decision of yours.

Why did you let the German
High Command seize the
initiative?

The German High Command
won the initiative thanks
to its superiority

They had more tanks and
more planes

If you want an idea how strong
the enemy is, one example will
suffice

Against 4 divisions of the 30th
Army

the Germans used 12 divisions
with more than 400 tanks

The troops of the 30th Army
fought bravely and stubbornly,
but they were forced to retreat

A strategic withdrawal is
a form of complex combat

which requires a high degree
of troop preparation.

I won't listen to this anymore.
“Strategic withdrawal as a
form of complex combat!“

How far back will your "strategic
withdrawal“ take our troops?

We know how to withdraw. Your
strategy is undermining the Red
Army. We withdraw, because

Yes. Before the war, we never
practiced how to withdraw.

We thought your doctrine called
for taking the fight to the enemy
Kliment Yefremovioh

We avoided defensive combat.
And now, thanks to you, we're
paying for it in blood.

What's this? You want to place
the blame for your screw-ups
on me?

For me, it's clear.

The commander of the Western
Front not only shows a lack of
strategic understanding

but was also operationally
incapable of leading his troops

I will insist that the general
staff of the Western Front

in other words, General Koniev,
be put up for court martial

Molotov?
- Comrade Stalin.

Is Zhukov there?
- Zhukov?

Yes, he's here. I'll give him
the phone

Zhukov. At your service,
Comrade Stalin.

Headquarters has decided
to appoint you commander
of the Western Front

Do you have any objections?

No, but I have a request: make
Koniev my representative

The members of the Committee
for Defense have quite another
opinion about Koniev

Koniev knows this theater
of operations well

Let him take over command
in the Kalinin area

I need a representative there,
who can think independently.

Fine. All the units of the Reserve
Front will be at your disposal

Take over command right away!
Don't lose a minute!

As the new commander of
the Western Front, I'd like
to say a few things

The troops on the Western
Front fought with courage

and most importantly, they
didn't flee in panic

The former command of the
Western Front had a lot to
do with that

At the cost of their lives, they
saved Moscow.

Let us acknowledge those who
fought to the death in defensive
battles and encirclements

They stopped the Germans!

They blunted the German
offensive for eight days

A fact we must exploit to open
a new front before Moscow

Commander of the 16th Army
Rokossovsky, I have a mission
for you

You will cover the road to
Volokolamsk on 14 October
- Do I have any soldiers?

Of course. On your left will be
the road to Minsk, which will be
covered by General Lelushenko

Kubinka
12 October 1941

Colonel Polosujin, commander
of the 3rd Far Eastern Rifle
Division

The division has everything
they need and can go into battle
immediately

Congratulations, Colonel. It's
a great honor for you. You'll
be fighting at Borodino

Borodino
13 October 1941

Why were these left behind?
- We weren't given any time!

Remove all the Russian banners

and give them to the units
defending Borodino.

May the glory of these banners
bring good fortune to our
regiments in combat!

What's this?

The guest book for our
illustrious visitors.

Polosujin! Write something
on behalf of the soldiers.

"We've come to defend the field
of Borodino - Polosujin."

Borodino
13 October 1941
1130 hours

At Borodino, a unit composed
of so-called French volunteers,
fought at Borodino

They had been recruited mainly
in Lorraine.

French allies, friends!

History repeats itself

130 years ago, here, in Borodino

Napoleon's Grand Army arrived

At the time, French and German
soldiers fought shoulder to
shoulder, side by side.

This European army defeated
the Russians and took Moscow

Now, you will repeat the feats
of your ancestors.

Brave Frenchmen! I call upon
your heroism!

Borodino
13 October 1941
1200 hours

Comrade Colonel! We're the
unified battalion of the Moscow
Political-Military School

600 men, all Communists.

This is the standard of
a regiment of grenadiers

Take care of it, as if it were
your own.

They will be in the second
echelon. They'll have it the
hardest

The defense will be led by the
230th Regiment, made up of
volunteers from Moscow

Good morning, Muscovites!

Good morning!

This is the banner of the
Muscovite militias of 1812.

Thank you, Comrade Colonel.

For us, it is a relic of great value

Where do the men come from?

From the factory “The Sickle
and Hammer".

The engineer Grigoriev.
- Greetings, Comrade Colonel

Gonchar, electromonitor.

Orlov and Zajarchenko

The Pavlovs, father and son,
from “The Sickle and Hammer“.

Purebred Muscovites?
- By all means!

How's the mood?
- Combative.

Only, the company commander,
who's so hard on us

What kind of man is he?

He's my son. He's a first-rate
soldier, but tries too hard

After we're done clobbering
the Fritzes, I'll make you
a sergeant

I'll handle it personally.
- Did you hear?

Colonel Orlenko, commander of
the 20th Armored Division.

This is the cavalry banner
of 1812. May your steeds
strike the enemy hard!

Our horses of steel are few;
but they'll do

If something happens to me,
let my family know!

Of course. You do the same!

Volokolamsks Directorate
14 October 1941

Major General Dovator -
commander, 3rd Cavalry Corps

Password!

I couldn't tell you. We just got
out of the encirclement

No one told me about it

Nothing else I could do, friend.
There's no time to screw around

Comrade General!

The 3rd Cavalry Corps presents
itself, as ordered

Good morning! Let's enter
my headquarters!

We live like kings here.
We even have a tent!

Stop! Password!

Major General Panfilov

Commander of the 31st Rifle
Division

What's this nonsense about
a password?

We just arrived from Central Asia
and you greet us with screams!

I'm not screaming.
Pass!

Our 16th Army is still not up
to strength

Our main force is the Third
Cavalry Corps.

Yeah, but we're pretty decimated

As you're aware, the corps
just escaped an encirclement

We're aware of your brave
deeds

We got General Dovatofls corps;
a cadet regiment of 1200 men;
and Panfiloxfls 316th Division

Yes, I have a full division of
15,000 fighters and armed
accordingly

We have good officers on duty,
and commissars recruited from
Kazakh politicians

We're ready to fight.

Borodino
14 October 1941

Batteries ready!
- Batteries ready!

Concentrated fire with high
explosives!

Elevation: 80!

Communication‘s been cut off!
- Out loud, in a chain!

Out loud, in a chain!
Elevation: 80!

Elevation: 80!

Fire at will!

Follow me! Attack! Forward!

The first attack was repelled!

They held out! Borodino's ours!

Great! But don't sit on your
laurels!

Do night reconnaissance and be
ready for tomorrow! Got it?

Are you defending Borodino?

Mine the highway to Minsk!
Every possible on-ramp

Organize mobile groups,
complete with pioneers

provide them with mines
and explosive charges.

Their mission is to close the way
to enemy tanks

There are no reserves. That's
everything we've got

Staff HQ of the Western Front
14 October 1941

Comrade Commander! German
parachutists have landed in the
area of the general staff!

Order me a sub machine gun!

Inform me once they've finished
off the paratroopers!

The parachute drop was finished
off. There are prisoners

Are you going to question them?
- I have no time.

Shall I inform headquarters?
- To what end?

Borodino
15 October 1941

Report from General Dojturov
to Field Marshal Kutuzov

about the battle of Borodino on
26 September 1812

“Lithuanian, lzmailovski and
Finnish regiments showed
themselves to be worthy

"in battle and were the first to
repulse the enemy attacks with
great courage

"Equally brave, other regiments
also repelled the enemy

“The soldiers fought with great
courage until nightfall

“at which time, the battle ended"

Same as now

One could send this today as
a battle report!

And how it's written! Really
extraordinary!

Colonel Polosujin, hero of
the Battle of Borodino

in the 20th century, would fall
in battle at Gzhatsk within
three months in February 1942

They've woken up! Now, they'll
come and try to cook us alive!
Everyone to their positions!

Separate the infantry from
the tanks!

Open fire in the direction of
the army observation point.

Open fire on me! Open fire
on me!

Orlenko, head up front!
Forwards!

Now, we'll give them something
to light their cigarettes with.

On 13 October, the enemy
began an offensive from all
directions towards Moscow

In the center, the enemy seized
Kaluga, took Kalinin, Borovsk
and Vereya

In Borodino, the enemy managed
to penetrate between two and
four miles

This complicates the situation
around Moscow

Our troops are fighting with
extreme bitterness

The commander of the Bryansk
Front, General Yeremenko, is
wounded

Army commander Ershakov
is dead; army commander
Lelushenko, wounded

It has been proposed that we
make Gorovo commander of the
5th Army instead of Lelushenko

Does everyone agree?
Continue!

In view of the threatening
situation, it is necessary we
prepare anti-aircraft batteries

for possible use against enemy
land forces and have sapper
detachments ready to mine

the roads and bridges around
Moscow and possibly blow up
the capital's bridges

Steps must be taken to prepare
the capital for evacuation

Comrade Molotov will address
this issue.

Due to the frontline‘s proximity,
the Defense Committee must
decide to evacuate

the government of the USSR
to Kuibyshev

Government agencies must
be evacuated, along with the
diplomatic corps, large factories

scientific and cultural institutions

Also, state institutions of major
importance

You must remove Lenin
from the mausoleum!

You, Boris Mikhailovich, will
leave with the chief of staff

Let Vasilievski stay with
the operative group!

Comrade Stalin must leave
Moscow

We've no right to endanger
his life. That's my opinion.

I will talk with "Comrade Stalin"
about it.

The evacuation! We've never
seen anything like this before
in history!

1,523 factories were dismantled
and put on rail cars usually
under enemy air attack

and, within five months,
reassembled in the eastern
parts of the USSR

For this purpose, 1,500,000
rail cars were used.

In total, 1O million people were
transported east

The entire industrial complex
was evacuated to the East.

Moscow
16 October 1941

Halt! Turn around! You're
not allowed to proceed

It is an outrage! I'm going
to complain!

Halt! What is it, comrade?

The bosses skedaddled and left
us out to dry

The fewer the scaremongers,
the better

It's our Moscow and we
won't surrender it!

And the bosses?

Stalin's staying in Moscow.

Company, attention!
Forward, march!

Podolsk Infantry School
17 October 1941

The Germans took the village
of Shubinka and will attack
us from there.

From there, they can carry out
the offensive in the direction
of Maloyargaslavetz

Each village taken by the enemy
brings them one step closer to
Moscow

One last effort, brothers!
Do what you can!

We will do our best, Comrade

Thank you.

Soldiers, advance!

The machine gun's screwed up.

To Hell with it! Follow me!
Forward!

Fi||'ppov, sing!

Don't linger! Harass the enemy!
Ahead!

They've done it! They've done
it. They've taken back Shubinka!

If only we could give them a hand

Chief, do we have any reserves?

Not one man.
- l??? te/krhg about reserves
None, Comrade General!

They've surrounded us! No happy
song's gonna help us now.

You're the only subordinate
I have left.

Well, Cadet Gusev? Get going!
Attack the enemy's flanks!

This is no time forjokes. The
enemy doesn't have a sense
of humor

First, some heavy artillery to
tear a hole in their lines.

Bastards!

Wait, Gusev!

Gusev, wait! Think of Zoya!

It's over already

We stopped the enemy for one
more day.

Moscow - Kremlin
19 October 1941

Comrade Scherbakov, what is
the situation in Moscow?

The provocateurs and alarmists
are causing panic among the
population.

There have been cases of looting

What do you propose?

The Party Committee considers
it necessary to declare a state
of emergency in Moscow

Good. Write!

It has been decided, that the
defense of the capital some
60-70 miles west of Moscow

will be entrusted to General
Zhukov, commander of the
Western Front

The defense of all access to the
city will be led by the head of
the Moscow garrison

Lieutenant General Artyemyev.

In order to guarantee the
defense of Moscow and end

spy and sabotage activity by
provocateurs and other agents
of German fascism

the State Defense Committee
announces the following:

1. The implementation of a state

2. Those found violating public
order will be subject to military
court martial;

Provocateurs, spies and other
agents of fascism will be shot on
the spot where caught at work

Do you agree with the text?
- Yes.

Babushki! You're wasting
your time digging ditches!

German tanks will come and you'll
see how useless your work is

Perish, you waste of life!

The Germans are in Mozhaisk
and are advancing towards
Kuntsevo.

By nightfall, they will be in the
capital. Run, before it's too late

Provocateur!
Seize the bastard!

He's a spy! Give it to him good!

Party Urban Committee.
Moscow, 21 October 1941.

The Muscovites are doing
everything they can t0 stop
the enemy

Moscow's provided the front
with twelve militia divisions

In these difficult days, each
district committee has managed
to organize a communist unit

In fact, a total of 25 complete
battalions, mostly communists
and komsomols

At this very moment, we're
forming these so-called units

the 2nd communist Moscow
Division, totaling 15,000 men

Also, in the last few weeks,
forty storm battalions have
been organized in Moscow

They've already taken their
places at the approaches
to the city

Another 169 detachments have
been put together totaling
7,000 men, for street fighting

In these last days of October
alone, the capital's mobilized an
additional army of 50,000 men

The defense of the city consists
of three lines: first, the Moscow
ring road

Second: the Ring of the Gardens
and third, Circle "A" and the
area south of the Moskva River

Comrade Artiemiev, how's
the mining of the bridges
going?

We've put 22 tons of explosives
under 12 bridges.

An extreme measure, I know.
But, in case of the worst

We trust you won't have
to resort to such measures

The Battle of Moscow entered
its decisive stage.

On 29 October, Guderian's tanks
advanced on the left flank of the
city, on the Mtsensk-Tula road

incurring huge losses, German
troops managed to take and
occupy Yasnaya Polyana

Yasnaya Polyana
29 October 1941

Count Tolstoy lived in this
shithole?

Yes, General. This is where
he lived. It's an historical place

We specifically installed your
staff headquarters here.

But if you don't like it, we
can throw his crap outside
- No, it's fine

This was Leo Tolstoy's bedroom

We thought you might prefer
staying here while directing
the battle against Tula

Take this old piece of garbage
out and bring me my cot!

General, Field Marshal Book's
on the line for you

Hello, Field Marshal! Yeah, it's
been a difficult day; not very
successful

I've concentrated more than
100 tanks in the direction of Tula

They were supposed to take
the city from its suburbs

The forward tank units got as
far as 2 miles from Tula

but the attempt to take the city
by assault failed due to a strong
anti-tank defense

We must attack again

Fine. I'll launch two attacks
tonight with 80 tanks and
motorized infantry

against the southern sector
of the city.

Tula must be taken tomorrow so
we can continue the advance
on Kolomna and Serpujov!

This isn't May and we aren't in
France

Tula

Supreme High Command
01 November 1941

We wish to solemnly celebrate
the anniversary of the October
Revolution in Moscow

and also have a military parade.

What do you think? Will the
situation at the front permit us
to have these celebrations?

The enemy isn't going to launch
a major offensive now

They've suffered heavy losses
recently and will need to
reinforce their units

To neutralize enemy aircraft,
I propose concentrating all the
fighters from neighboring fronts

I think, we'll be able to have
the parade

General Gromadin, commander
of anti-aircraft defense in Moscow

Throughout the day, the enemy
tried to reach the capital with
250 bombers from Podolsk

but was repulsed by a thick
curtain of anti-aircraft fire
and by our fighters

The enemy returned to their
bases without achieving their
objective.

For now, they're trying to reach
the city center by using single
planes and squadrons

34 Junkers have been brought
down today

What steps will be taken if the
enemy launches an air raid on
Moscow on 07 November?

Moscow's air space is secure.
550 fighters are on Level One
alert status on various airfields

Fascist planes must not be
permitted to reach the skies
of Moscow on that day!

But in case it were to happen,
the parade mustn't be canceled
for any reason

It won't happen; we will stop
them in their tracks

Fine

Moscow
06 November 1941

German troops are advancing
towards Kashira.

The city administration is
asking permission to blow
up the power plant

Impossible.

The power station at Kashira
supplies Moscow

So, tell them they're not
to blow up the plant under
any circumstances!

We'll send them reinforcements

Don't blow the plant! You'll be
personally responsible to make
sure it doesn't happen!

Do you not understand?
Yeah, reinforcements are
coming. Hold tight!

and these people without
conscience or honor

who have the morals of animals,
have the insolence to demand

the extermination of the great
Russian nation

The nation of Plekhanov
and Lenin

of Chernyshevsky and Belinsky,
of Pushkin and Tolstoy

of Glinka and Tchaikovsky
of Gorky and Chekhov

of Sechenov and Pavlov,
of Repin and Surikov

of Suvorov and Kutuzov!

The German invaders want
a war of extermination with
the peoples of the USSR

Very well. If the Germans want
a war of extermination, we'll
give them one

316th Rifle Division
06 November 1941

Commissar Klochkov is to report
to the division commander!

May I enter, Comrade General?

I can't salute you; my cap
was blown off my head

The important thing is that you
kept your head

Comrade Klochkov, for your
firmness and the courage you

displayed in the defense
of our capital

the Presidium of the Supreme
Soviet of the USSR

decorates you with the Order
of the Red Banner.

I serve the Soviet Union!

Give me the medal!

Why?

According to Russian tradition,
one must bathe it before battle

so it's not the last one.
Drink!

But I don't drink
- Well, this is a good reason
to start

Besides, it's also the anniversary
of the Revolution

I will get drunk.

It doesn't matter. The Germans
won't attack anymore today

Yes, I hear you

Understood. When are
the girls coming?

Got it.

They're sending us "Katyushas“

We've been ordered to put
together a special battalion

The General Staff will send
the trucks.

Klochkov, you will go as the
battalion commissar

Here's my hat; it's a gift.

Here, where the 316th Rifle
Division stood guard

on the night of 07 November,
a sabotage detachment
crossed the front line

Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was
in that detachment

The Germans! A column of trucks!

Quick, everyone to the forest!

Stop! Take a break!

Friends! Listen closely!

I congratulate you on the
24th anniversary of the Great
October Revolution

Moscow
07 November 1941

Comrade Commissar!
We've arrived.

Moscow! My God!

Commissar!

What is this? Where do you
think you are? Line up in
formation!

Yes sir! Come along!

Comrade Red Army soldiers
and sailors!

Officers and commissars!

Partisans!

The world sees in you the
strength needed to annihilate
the German invaders.

The enslaved peoples of Europe
see their liberators in you

You have a great mission
of liberation ahead of you

Be worthy of this mission!

The war that you fight is a war
of liberation; a just war.

Scherbakov. How do things look?

Everything is calm. The parade
was a complete surprise to the
enemy

Good. Continue monitoring!

May this war inspire you with
the courageous image of our
great ancestors.

Alexandr Nevsky, Dmitri Donskoi

Kuzma Minin, Dmitri Pozharski

Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail
Kutuzov.

May the banner of our great
Lenin illuminate the way!

Under the banner of Lenin,
forward, to victory!

There are clouds in the sky.
It rains in the darkness.

Under an old cart, the workers
rest.

And you hear them whisper
proudly:

"Within four years, this city will
be a garden of paradise!“

Cold causes cramps; there is
little to give comfort

They eat a crumb of bread,
spoiled by the dampness.

But louder than hunger are the
tinkling of the drops, which say

"Within four years, this city will
be a garden of paradise!“

"I know that the city will arise.
Yes, the garden will flourish.

"Because in our Soviet land, there
are people who can do anything“

Zoya, recite another piece!

Enough, guys. It's time.

Break's over. When we return,
Zoya will recite something else

You stay on guard!

Give me a task!

Only the boys get battle
missions.

Difficulties must be shared.
Please!

Fine. You will go to Petrischevo
and burn the stable

But afterwards, return to the
forest right away, understood?

Acknowledged,
comrade commander!

Lieutenant Colonel Ruderer,
commander - 332nd Regiment

Who are you?

I'm not telling you

Did you set the stable on fire?

Yes, it was me

What was your intention?
- To wipe you out

Who sent you?
- I'm not saying anything

Where is your unit?

I don't know.

Gentlemen! Do something;
and make it fast!

I'll ask you again:
Where is your unit?

I won't tell you!

Comrades! Why the sad looks?

I do not fear death.

It's a privilege to die
for your people

You will hang me, but I'm not
alone

There are 200 million of us; you
can't hang us all

They will avenge me.

Goodbye, comrades! Kill the
fascists!

Stalin is with us!
Stalin will liberate us!

Upon learning of the death
of Zoya Kosmodemyanskava

Stalin ordered the soldiers of
the Western Front not to take
any soldiers or officers

of the 332nd Infantry Regiment
prisoner

Orsha
13 November 1941

Gentlemen, today we will
address only one question.

Supreme Command wants to
know your opinion as to what
we should do.

Should the armies entrench
themselves, prepare positions
and wait for the Spring?

Or should the Winter offensive
against Moscow continue?

Freezing cold is expected for
the next few days, making it
possible, for a certain period

to perform a quick operation
in the East

That is, our tanks and trucks
will be able to use the roads

I think we need to go over to the
defense in the north and south

But in the center, we should
deal a final blow to Moscow

and take it before more severe
weather arrives

It is indispensable, both
militarily and politically,
to take Moscow

Marshal Book's opinions coincide
with those of the Supreme
Command and the Fuehrer

Berlin - Reichschancellery
15 November 1941

Hear the call of the Fuehrer
to the German army!

Soldiers! Moscow is before you!

In two years of war, all the
capitals of the continent have
bowed before you

You have marched through the
streets of the best cities

Moscow remains to be one
of them

Force it to submit!

Show them the strength of your
weapons!

March through their squares!

Taking Moscow will mean the
end of the war

Moscow will mark the start
of your well-deserved rest

On 15 November, the second
offensive against Moscow began

The German High Command
launched 74 divisions

with a total of around
one million soldiers

11,670 pieces of artillery
and mortars; 1,500 tanks.

Alexandrovs song and dance

That's who they sent instead
of reinforcements?

Comrade Alexandrov, we are
happy to see you.

We came to give a concert
at the front

We're already getting concerts.
Listen! I can't let you out there.

But that's why we've come!

I can't allow that. You represent
the foundation of the entire army

Comrade Major, bring all the
phones you can get!

The ensemble will perform by
telephone

The soldiers will listen to them
and sing along. Good luck!

Arise, vast country, arise for
a fight to the death!

Against the dark fascist forces,
against the cursed hordes.

Let noble wrath boil over like
a wave!

This is the peoples' war;
a sacred war!

Battery! Fire!

The Fifth is on the phone.

The enemy is trying to break
through to Dubosekovo. Don't
let him!

Halt!

Boys! Twenty tanks is nothing!

Less than one per head.

Fire!

You see? 14 out of action!

It seems, it's time to die.

Brothers!

Russia is vast, but there's
nowhere to retreat to.

Moscow is behind us

ls Panfiiov still resisting?

They've been defending the
highway for 3 days now.

But I don't know if they'll
be able to hold out.

They've decorated their division
with the Order of the Red Flag

and re-named it the 8th Guard
Division

Thank you. I'll pass on the news
straight away. I'm sure they'll
be thrilled. I'll call them now.

Connect me to General Panfilov!

General Panfilov has been killed
-What'?!?

General Panfilov is dead.

Seven armored, three motorized
and three infantry divisions

attacked in the direction
of Volokolamsk

trying to break the front and
enter into Moscow.

Staff HQ of the Western Front
19 November 1941

Comrade Commander!

I came to ask your authorization
to withdraw troops to the lstra
Line

It's only a matter of six miles

The Istra reservoir and river
would be a good line of defense

and would be much more
advantageous for us.

The troops have suffered
heavy casualties, in both
men and materiel

The soldiers won't be able to
function with this exhaustion
much longer

Give me permission to pull
back to the lstra!

To pull back means to retreat,
Comrade Rokossovsky

No, not one step back!
Resist to the last!

May I go?

Go

Are you sure we will be able
to hold Moscow?

I'm asking you this, because
I'm very worried

Comrade Zhukov, answer me
honestly!

I'm convinced, we'll hold Moscow

But we'll need two armies and
at least 200 tanks

Your response calms me quite
a bit, Comrade Zhukov

Call the General Staff and
give them your demands

The two reserve armies must be
placed at your disposal. Your
demand isn't unreasonable.

They will be available to you
by the end of November

But for now, I can't give you
any tanks

Understood. The reserve armies
should be concentrated on our
flanks.

Farewell, Comrade Stalin.

16th Army HQ
19 November 1941

Zhukov won't accept my plan

I consider my request to pull
back behind the lstra to be
decisive.

My duty as a commander doesn't
permit me to let Zhukoxfls
decision go unchallenged

I will appeal his decision.

Prepare a telegram for the
head of the General Staff

Write! To Marshal Shaposhnikov

MOSCOW

Rokossovsky requests
permission to withdraw

towards the Istra reservoir.

That's six miles closer to Moscow

However, they'll be in a more
advantageous position.

Authorize Rokossovskfs
request, only if you consider
it unavoidable

16th Army Staff HQ
19 November 1941

The Chief of the General Staff
has approved your proposal

That's more like it. I should
have gone to Comrade Stalin
from the beginning.

Write the order for the pullback
of the troops to the lstra
reservoir line immediately!

To the commander of the 16th
Army, Rokossovsky.

Frontline soldiers will take
orders only from me!

The order to withdraw to the
lstra Reservoir is hereby
revoked

I order you to stay in the
positions you occupy!
Not one step back!

What are we going to do?

Zhukov is right.

You were right, too. You're
responsible for your section
of the Front.

The only thing he's accomplished
with his teletype is to shoulder
the responsibility for everything

that happens on every part
of the Western Front

I know Zhukov better. We've
been friends for over twenty
years.

He's assumed a colossal
responsibility for the entire
Soviet nation

And if it seems he's mistaken,
there's one thing you can be
sure he's right about:

We cannot retreat a single step.
Moscow is behind us.

We must fight till the end

Wolf's Lair
19 November 1941

Field Marshal von Bock is
personally directing

the Battle of Moscow from his
command post

His display of selfless bravery
is giving the needed push to
his men

Just as in the Battle of
the Marne, a single battalion

can determine the fate
of the battle

Tell Bock to halt all frontal
assaults and to try and surround
Moscow; especially in the north

And that he shouldn't forget the
secondary objectives:

Vyazma, Ribinsk and Vologda

Weather permitting

Tell Bock that, in his honor

we plan to give Smolensk
the name of Bockburg.

And so, despite huge losses,
Army Group Center had to
continue its attack on Moscow

There was fierce fighting near
Kryukovo; lstra; Naro-Fominsk;
and Yakhroma

Next stop: “Red Square"

When's the bus coming? It's
running late

It already came.
- Let's catch up to it!

Moscow Soviet? Inform Comrade
Stalin, that the Germans are in
Krasnaya Polyana!

Staff HQ of the 16th Army
24 November 1941

The Supreme Commander
asks you to come to the phone

Do you know whether enemy
units have appeared in
Krasnaya Polyana?

What are you doing to stop
the enemy from overrunning
the town?

We are aware of the situation.
We've sent forces from other
sectors of the front there.

Headquarters has arranged
to send you reinforcements.

In the morning, Krasnaya
Polyana must be retaken!

Field Marshal, heavy artillery's
been set up for a bombardment
of the Kremlin

Very good, General.

Now, show me Moscow through
the binoculars!
- By all means!

The Russians will counterattack.
We should leave this place.

Yes, but at least, I saw Moscow.

Maybe for the last time.

Army Staff HQ
25 November 1941

Everyone, listen!

Comrades! Brothers!

For our great country, for
our Moscow, forward!

Chief of Staff - Western Front
29 November 1941

German troops have been driven
out of Dmitrov and pushed back
beyond the channel

The time has come to launch
a counterattack with the 1st
and 10th armies

We'll be able to hit the enemy
hard and throw him back from
Moscow

Are you sure the enemy is in
a critical situation and won't
be able to bring up reserves?

The fascists are exhausted.
If we don't throw in the 1st
and 10th armies now

the enemy will be able to
reinforce its troops with new
reserves

And then, the situation will
really get complicated

The time has come to start
the counteroffensive.

I will confer with the General
Staff

How do you feel?

Thank you, better.
The crisis has passed

Disease is an offensive of
microbes. It's like war

When in a crisis, you launch
a counterattack and kill the
microbes with pills

I have a great reserve
of those pills and I'm
on the attack

Speaking of war

I must tell you, that Zhukov
believes that the crisis on the
Western Front is already over

He believes it's time to put
the 1st and 10th reserve
armies in against the Germans

What's your opinion?
- I think, he's right

and it's time to strike back at
the Germans and burn their
asses.

Understood, Boris Mikhailovich.
Get better as quickly as possible!
- Thank you, Comrade Stalin

Give the following command:
As of today, 29 November

the 1st, 10th and 20th Shock
armies will be under Zhukov's
command

We should try another attack in
the direction of Krasnaya Polyana

It's the shortest way to Moscow.

Ten miles to the river port
of Gimki

What do you think?
- We have to attack!

Time to crush the last defensive
line. The colossus is wobbly.
One more strike and it'll fall.

The 7th Armored Corps will
launch an attack on
01 December on the Minsk road

Fine. The 20th Army Corps
will attack Naro Fominsk
on 01 December

Staff HQ of the Western Front
01 December 1941

By dispersing their units
on a wide front

and stretching their armored
forces on the flanks

the enemy has lost its shock
force in its attacks on the
access roads to Moscow

Enemy communications are
being disrupted by partisan
attacks

The large number of German
casualties and the bitter
resistance of our troops

are having tremendous effects
on the Germans' ability to keep
fighfing

Our troops, too, have suffered
heavy losses.

But they're able to count on
the aid of their homeland and
retain their combat ability

Intending to take advantage
of the favorable situation
around Moscow at this moment

Staff HQ of the Western Front
has decided to split the Germans
in two, starting on 06 December

On 06 December 1941, an
historic date, we will begin
a counteroffensive.

How will the counteroffensive
crush and push back the
Germans from Moscow?

How do you think we should
attack, comrade generals?

The Western Front doesn't have
numerical superiority over the
enemy

They're able to draw on more
tanks

And that will no doubt be the
biggest problem in our attempt
to carry out the counteroffensive

Well, your ideas?

We believe it necessary
to attack at night

A daytime attack by the infantry
against German tanks won't turn
out well. They'll be wiped out.

The enemy will have a hard time
orienting themselves in the dark

The Germans' superiority in
tanks and planes must be
reduced to zero

We must prevent them from
becoming a part of the battle

We must approach the enemy
and force him to fight with us
in close combat

With machine guns, sub machine
guns, the rifle, hand grenades
and even knives.

And the night will prove to be
a very reliable and helpful
ally

And how will the troops be able
to keep their orientation in the
night, in unfamiliar territory?

Do you have a lighter?
- Of course

We will light two fires in
the rear of the battalions

on an axis about half a mile
away from one another

If the commanders turn and
see the two flames merging

then they'll know they're going
the right way

If they see they're apart, then
they'll know they're going the
wrong way

Good. That'll work

The enemy's advancing towards
Kubinka!

Eliminate the break in the lines!

This has to be their last attack

The date remains unchanged:
06 December

The 7th Armored Corps attacked
in a "rhombus" formation

a classic, German combat tactic

In the vanguard, wedged
forward, were the heavy
Pzkw IV

My tank army is finished

Follow me! Forward!

On 05 December, the Kalinin
Front went on the offensive

On 06 December, at 0600 on
the dot, units of the 1st, 20th
and 30th armies attacked

The Red Army's counteroffensive
began all along the front from
the walls of Moscow

At dawn, the enemy's defensive
line was broken

On 08 December, the Red
Army's left flank also went
on the counteroffensive

G0|ikov‘s 10th Army;
Bo|din's 50th Army

and Be|ov‘s 1st Cavalry Corps.

Yasnaya Polyana
08 December 1941

Frederick the Great once said
that you had to kill Russian
soldiers two times

and then stab them. Yeah,
he recognized his enemy
well.

The Moscow Offensive's failed.
All that effort for nothing.

That, because of the High
Commands stubbornness, will
lead to a catastrophe

General, the Fuehrer wishes
to speak with you

Guderian! You will hold at any
cost!

I will send you reinforcements
by plane! You can count on it.

Hold out, no matter what!

As ordered, my Fuehrer!

I will not give the order to fight
to the end, even if I'm brought
before a court martial. My coat

The Fuehrer doesn't know the
real situation

After suffering heavy losses and
having to withdraw continuously

the Red Army dealt the German
fascists a demolishing blow
before Moscow

Outside of Moscow, the Germans
lost more than 50,000 men

1,300 tanks and 2,500 artillery
pieces

The Wehrmacht had never
experienced such losses
before

The Germans were pushed back
100 to 180 miles from Moscow

The Red Army's counteroffensive
continued.

Bravo, Dovator!

These Guards units are splendid

During the counteroffensive,
the Red Army liberated more
than 11,000 localities

Among them, the cities of
Kalinin, Klin, Solnechnogorsk,
Staritsa, Volokolamsk

Mozhaisk, Borovsk, Yugnov,
Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga,
Sujinichi.

We will not fall upon Bock for
failing to fulfill his mission in
Operation Barbarossa

But to retreat now, of all times!

Who gave the order to pull back
from Moscow?

Get Bock back here! He's
relieved of his command!

We'll put Kluege in his place

Call Guderian! He's to report
to me immediately!

Hitler removed Brauchitsch,
Bock, Leeb, Rundstedt; Hepner;
Roth; Guderian

and 35 other generals were
replaced by Hitler

On 16 December 1941, Stalin
received a note from the
President of the United States

Roosevelt wrote:

"| want to tell you of the great
enthusiasm for the victories

“of your armies in the defense
of that great nation.“

We hear the echo of the distant
parade

We imagine the routes of
the last attack.

You are my hope, you are my joy.

You are in my heart, beloved
Moscow.

Our victory was earned honestly

Faithful to our sacred homeland

In each new house, in each
new song

Remember the fallen in Moscow.
