Map shows the Russian cities overrun by the German blitzkrieg. Russian government moved to Kuibyshev as the Germany Army advanced on Moscow. By December the Germans had captured 500,000 square miles of Russia. Despite the destruction of Russian military weapons and capture of thousands of Russian soldiers, the Germany Blitz failed to work against the Russians as explained with use of maps. As one defense line was penetrated the total line fell back and consolidated with the next line. The results were the deeper the Germans advanced into Russia the more resistance they encountered. Street fighting in Russian cities. Odessa was the scene of a heroic siege of two months. Sevastopol an eight-month defense inch-by-inch, street-by-street, house-by-house and then room-by-room fighting. This heroic resistance and total devastation of cities forced the Germans to leave the safety of their tanks and battle in the rubble. German soldiers firing rifles and machine guns. Bodies of dead Germans. Shows grim faces of Russian people fighting the Germans. Shows total mobilization of Russia and Russian people to fight the Germans.
