Russia Attacked
S1 E3:
By the late Summer of 1940 Nazi Germany controlled virtually all of Europe. Beginning in 1936 Germany employed a combination of political intimidation and a series of swift military attacks known as Blitzkrieg to overrun one country after another. Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and France all collapse before the onslaught of Hitler's seemingly invincible might.
