Date: 2015-04-30

The Battle of Moscow, otherwise known as Operation Typhoon by the German Army, was the first major German setback of World War 2. It began on October 2, 1941 and lasted a little over 3 months. Some historians have remarked that the German defeat was the result of Hitler's underestimation of the harsh Russian winters and the resolve of the Soviet People. This video chronicles the experience of a civilian witness who was age 8 at the time.
