Series Begins Tuesday, April 12 at 9 pm
This powerful series reaches the defining conflict of the Second World War, as Hitler faces an equally ruthless dictator: Stalin. At the peak of his powers, Hitler tries to deceive the Russian leader with a plan to invade Britain, while secretly preparing an attack on the Soviet Union. But Stalin has a spy in Hitler’s HQ. With Germany facing defeat on the Eastern Front, resistance builds as Hitler pushes Germany to untold destruction.
This is the story of why dictatorships fail, and of the hubris that nearly destroyed freedom, but ultimately destroyed itself.
