Moskau 1941 - Stimmen am Abgrund (TV)

The "Battle for Moscow" began 80 years ago in October. The Wehrmacht tried to take Moscow. The film tells the story of a fateful year - Moscow 1941, when the survival of the Soviet capital was on the knife's edge - when the war front approached ever more threatening. The film tells from a perspective from which the epochal drama has never been seen: a chorus of voices from Moscow, official and private statements recorded in letters, statements, but above all diary entries. They reflect everyday Moscow life in the last months of peace and in the first months of the war. Experiences, feelings, moods, hopes and expectations, worries, fears and fears.
