Facing the brunt of the massive German invasion of Russia in June 1941 were the lowly Red Army conscripts.

So, join two of these hard-pressed heroes in their trench and see […]
Time and after time, one British company outsmarted the Germans in Crete. If the Nazis planned a sneak-raid and began it five miles away, the British knew at once – and were ready for them.
