Barbarossa In Ukraine: The Encirclement Of Kiev (Part 4)
Why did Stalin sack Budenny and forbid Kirponos from retreating as the trap closed? How did a tiny battlegroup under Walter Model help to seal the biggest encirclement in military history? Why was Hitler's great victory at Kiev also a catastrophe for Germany?
Join Al Murray and James Holland for part 4 of The Road to Kiev, the final chapter in our coverage of Operation Barbarossa, as the German pincers meet at Lokhvitsa, four Soviet armies are trapped, and Hitler turns his attention back to Moscow.
Then continue the story with an exclusive 5th episode for Patreon members, as we return to the diary of Wilhelm Prüller to see the Kiev encirclement and the coming of the autumn rains from a soldier's point of view.
