The first segment recounts the turning tide of war on the Eastern Front, beginning with the Soviet victory at Stalingrad, where 300,000 German troops were encircled and taken prisoner or killed. The Red Army’s relentless counter-offensives in 1943 and 1944 pushed German forces westward, reclaiming vast territories and liberating cities like Bryansk through intense, street-by-street combat. Behind enemy lines, guerrilla fighters—many of them civilians—waged sabotage campaigns, destroying bridges, ambushing troops, and disrupting communications. Their courage, fueled by suffering and the memory of atrocities committed by the Nazis, helped cripple the German war machine. The film then shifts to the Western Front, highlighting the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944, and the jubilation that followed. It contrasts the joy of freedom with the grim sacrifices that made it possible, portraying liberation as both a moment of celebration and a solemn historical responsibility. 0:00 Main titles – Stalingrad: The site of a decisive Soviet victory; rebuilding begins immediately after the battle. 0:48 – 300,000 German troops are encircled and destroyed; Stalingrad marks the turning point of WWII on the Eastern Front. 1:15 – January 1943: The Red Army launches counteroffensives, regaining 185,000 square miles from the Nazis. 1:33 – Summer 1943: The Red Army begins the greatest strategic offensive in history. 2:01 – Spring 1944: The Red Army pushes beyond Stalingrad, driving Nazis out of Russia. 2:32 – Red Army generals are young and aggressive; General Papot leads one sector. 3:00 – Tanks and infantry attack together as a unified force. 3:36 – Many weapons used are Lend-Lease equipment from the U.S. 3:57 – Use of advanced cameras to spy on enemy positions. 4:20 – Soviet guerrillas attack behind German lines. 4:36 – Objective: Retake the city of Bryansk through brutal urban combat. 5:23 – Bryansk is retaken; many Germans captured. 5:49 – Nazi occupation left cities like Bryansk destroyed and looted. 6:13 – Restricted zones reveal hidden Nazi crimes. 6:28 – Soviet citizens vow to never forget or forgive the atrocities. 6:58 – Celebration begins among survivors; liberation brings freedom and hope. 7:48 – Behind German lines: Russians burn their own farms to deny resources to the enemy. 9:01 – The people’s courage, driven by sacrifice and memory of the dead, fuels resistance. 10:11 – Guerrilla oath to fight to the death; missions include sabotaging communications. 11:17 – German engineers ambushed during sabotage missions. 11:33 – Mission 36: Guerrillas destroy a railroad bridge. 12:02 – Over 7,000 bridges destroyed during Nazi occupation. 12:18 – Mission 43: Guerrillas attack and destroy German positions in Blay Cerov. 13:03 – Guerrilla attacks cause widespread German losses—500,000 Germans killed. 13:39 – Guerrillas used captured German rifles and earned recognition from their government. 14:23 – Their actions helped force the German retreat through Poland. 14:33 – The Russian people’s fighting spirit came from a deep love for peace. 14:37 – Personal tragedies, like the music teacher who lost her family, drove civilians to fight. 15:10 – August 25th, 1944: Paris is liberated. 15:53 – American GIs are celebrated as liberators in Paris. 16:27 – Liberation is joyous but deeply serious; freedom is hard-won and must be protected. 17:00 – Flashback to pre-war Paris: romantic, peaceful, carefree days before Nazi occupation.
