Operation Barbarossa: Barbarossa Unleashed (Part 5)

Holland and Murray reach the launch of Barbarossa itself — the three army group axes, the opening strikes, and Stalin's paralysed response to the invasion. Holland is characteristically strong on the operational structure of the German advance and the command dysfunction on the Soviet side. Part 5 of a series that's been building well, and this is the payoff episode where the shooting starts. Over an hour and properly paced for the scale of the subject.
