Episode Details

June 22, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. For generations, this has been understood as a unilateral act of German aggression. But this narrative leaves critical questions unanswered and ignores a growing body of evidence pointing in another direction. Hans Vogel, translator of the book Germany in Stalin’s Crosshairs, shares his thoughts after making it available for the first time in English. Bold, meticulously documented, and impossible to ignore, this book is a direct challenge to the foundations of mainstream World War II historiography.
