In the final year of World War II, the Soviet Red Army launched a massive series of offensives that liberated much of Eastern Europe from Nazi occupation. From Vilnius and Riga in the Baltic states to Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest, and eventually Berlin, the USSR played a decisive role in crushing Hitler’s war machine on the Eastern Front. This documentary retraces the Red Army’s 1944–1945 campaign, highlighting key battles, strategic breakthroughs, and the liberation of Nazi-occupied capitals across Europe.
With millions of troops, hundreds of tanks, and air support, the Soviet offensives reversed the tide of war and reshaped the post-war geopolitical map. This video offers a detailed timeline of major battles including Operation Bagration, the Siege of Budapest, the Vistula–Oder Offensive, and the climactic Battle of Berlin.
