"If the Germans want a war of extermination, they will get it!" - Joseph Stalin.
In this gripping continuation of our Operation Barbarossa series, The Red Army rallies as the Wehrmacht's relentless march towards Moscow accelerates.
With the Wehrmacht closing in on the Soviet capital, the USSR faces its last chance for survival. In the midst of the chaos, Stalin emerges from his depression, adorning his walls with portraits of renowned Russian generals for inspiration. The tide begins to turn as he starts heeding the counsel of Georgy Zhukov.
As Hitler faces setbacks and starts to lose his grip, he withdraws into himself, sidelining veteran generals and taking personal control of the army.
Ignoring desperate pleas for essentials like fuel, ammunition, and winter clothing, The Fuhrer fires many of his most experienced military minds.
The loyalty of the Wehrmacht, however, pushes on through one of the coldest blizzards in the last century. But as tank engines freeze and machine guns jam, we witness the stark reality that belief alone can only take a man so far.
Circling Moscow, Germans encounter unexpected challenges as far-eastern divisions arrive en-masse. The Motherland calls, and the people of the USSR answer!
