Summary
Including Harvesting scenes, with everyone doing their bit to get the harvest in so that nothing is left for the advancing Germans, The Red Air Force is also playing its part, despite German propaganda reports that it has been destroyed. Ground defences are also giving good account of themselves, and during the night blitzes on Russian towns the Germans have suffered severely. In the first two months of war both Russia and Germany have lost thousands of men and machines - documents are all that remain of the 32nd German Division which was wiped out to a man. But of many other shattered divisions, many are taken prisoner.
