Stalin’s Secret Operation: How Soviet Engineers Moved 1,500 Factories as the Nazis Advanced

As German forces surged across the Eastern Front in 1941, an extraordinary Soviet operation unfolded in the shadows. In a matter of weeks, entire factories vanished from threatened cities and reappeared beyond the Urals—an industrial exodus that reshaped the war. This documentary uncovers how the Soviet state organized a colossal evacuation of industry—over 1,500 plants and millions of tons of machinery—under relentless pressure. We trace the decisions of the State Defense Committee, the logistics commanded by the People’s Commissariat for Railways, and the engineering feats that rebuilt production lines in Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, and beyond. From Tankograd’s rapid assembly of T-34s to Uralmash’s “installation under the sky,” we examine the methods, manpower, and material that turned crisis into capacity. Featuring verified figures, archival accounts, and documented timelines, the film explores how standardization, simplified designs, and round-the-clock shifts restored output for the Red Army after catastrophic early losses. Neutral and evidence-based, it situates the evacuation within broader WW2 history—strategy, technology, intelligence, and supply—showing how industrial relocation became a decisive factor against the Nazi advance. This is the real story of a hidden operation that powered Soviet WW2 resilience and altered the trajectory of the conflict.
