The Unknown War is a Iandmark teIevision documentary series about the Soviet struggIe against - and uItimate victory over - the Nazi war machine.
Hosted and narrated by Academy Award - winner Burt Lancaster, this sprawling series features rare and stunning footage recorded by Soviet camera crews on the front Iines, most of it unseen since its original broadcast 30 years ago. From the June 22, 1941, invasion of the Soviet Union to the Russians' victorious march into Berlin in 1945, the devastating battles in the air, at sea and on land are detailed with astonishing images. These stories of heroism, savagery and suffering from what the Russians caIl "The Great Patriotic War" wiIl shed new light on the Red Army's massive contribution to the Allies' defeat of Hitler in World War lI.
A Soviet American collaboration produced in 1978 - during the throes of the CoId War - the 20-part saga was puIled from the air in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. lts reemergence should be heralded as an essential addition to the recorded history of World War Il.
