Additional InformationFor the first time on television, this series tells the true story of StalinÆs encounters first with the Nazis and then with Churchill and Roosevelt and, consequently, their enormous impact on World War II and, later, the fate of post-war Europe.

These decisions had immediate and often harrowing effects for those on the ground. Their story is told through documentary footage, dramatic reconstructions and illuminating interviews û including contributions from former Soviet secret policemen, Allied seamen who served on the Arctic convoys and Red Army veterans who experienced hand-to-hand fighting on the Eastern Front.<BR>Written and produced by award-winning film-maker Laurence Rees (Auschwitz û The Nazis & the 'Final Solution', War of the Century, Nazis û A Warning from History,) this series is a compelling new way of understanding the most secret and dramatic events of the Second World War.
If you thought Hitler was bad, Stalin was no better and at times worse. At least Hitler was loyal to his inner circle. Stalin wasn't and he was not bothered about being liked either. This DVD is very informative with regards to the meetings that were held behind closed doors with key decisions being made that had great effect to how WW2 transpired.
A must have for WW2 Historians!
Top docudrama. Dialogues based on verbatim accounts unearthed from archives. All the props painstakingly selected to reflect the era depicted. Top actors!! The Russian actor who plays Stalin speaks Russian with a Georgian accent just like Stalin did. This is the BBC at its best.
