Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the Eastern Front of World War II continues with the fourth week of the largest invasion in history - Operation Barbarossa, as the battles at Smolensk, Uman and Soltsy take place. Previously we have covered the third week with the German forces driving towards Leningrad and Kyiv (https://youtu.be/jzBwAB9DvdM). In the third week of July 1941, the Eastern Front saw some of the fiercest fighting yet. The Battle of Smolensk raged as Army Group Center pushed deeper into Soviet territory, aiming to open the road to Moscow. Marshal Timoshenko and newly appointed General Rokossovsky fought desperately to hold the city, but German panzers encircled multiple Soviet armies, repeating the devastating successes of Minsk and Bialystok. Meanwhile, to the north, Lieutenant General Vatutin executed a daring ambush at Soltsy, nearly destroying the 8th Panzer Division and halting Army Group North’s advance toward Leningrad for weeks. In Finland, General Heinrichs launched the Karelia offensive, seeking to reclaim territory lost in the Winter War, as Germany pressured the Finns to help cut off Leningrad. In the south, the Wehrmacht began forming the massive Uman Pocket, threatening to trap entire Soviet armies. Despite these advances, German forces showed signs of strain, with overextended panzers and growing logistical challenges slowing their momentum.
