WWI's Stalingrad: The Siege of Przemyśl

Bread cut with sawdust. Horses boiled to the bone. Men trading pet dogs and mice for scraps. In the brutal winter of 1914 to 1915, the grand Austro-Hungarian fortress of Przemyśl came under siege.

Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann, edited by Natasha Hughes and Dougal Patmore.
