The films are a dramatized account of the liberation of the Soviet Union's territory and the subsequent defeat of Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War, focusing on five major Eastern Front campaigns. An epic that chronicles the heroic battle at Kursk Bulge, the crossing of the Dnieper by the Soviet Army, the capture of Kiev and the Teheran meeting of allies.
