THE BATTLE OF MOSCOW.
Germany - The Wolf's Lair 05 September 1941
Gentlemen. Today, we must discuss Directive Nr. 35
regarding the decisive operation and offensive against Moscow
It concerns the annihilation of the Russians before Winter arrives
The offensive will take place east of Smolensk by means
of a double encirclement in the region of Vyazma
After the encirclement and destruction of the enemy, which is vitally important
Army Group Center will be ordered to take Moscow
My Fuehrer! At last, my old yearning is being fulfilled:
starting an offensive against the bulk of the Russian troops
Hopefully, we'll continue to have good weather
since the necessary reserve units will not be available before the end of September
I suggest calling the operation "October Harvest"
set to finish on 07 November in Red Square
No, that'd be too great an honor for the Bolsheviks
We'll call it "Typhoon".
Part II: Typhoon

For the attack on Moscow, the German High Command selected powerful forces
Not once during the Second World War
except during the campaign for Moscow, were three tank armies
1,800,000 men, 7,000 tanks and up to 2,000 airplanes put into action at once
On 30 September 1941, two days before the start of the general offensive
Guderian's tanks army attacked the left flank of the front at Bryansk
He was supported with every kind of plane available to Army Group Center
After powerful artillery and air assaults, German mechanized units broke
the tactical defense lines of the Bryansk Front and began to move on Orel
Moscow - General Staff 01 October 1941
Chief of Staff of the Red Army Marshal Shaposhnikov
You must save the situation!
Your mission is to prevent Guderian's armor from advancing on Orel
Within four to five days, you'll need to prepare the 1st Rifle Corps
From what I understand, there is no corps, except for its commanding officer!
You've understood correctly. Up to now, there isn't one
You are to make up your staff from the best officers available among the tank units
And consider which reserve units can be integrated into your corps in four days
Comrade Stalin is calling for General Lelushenko
For you, too, Boris Mijailovich.
The situation's changed abruptly
Guderian's already close to Orel
Your corps will need to be put together within two days, not five
Comrade Lelushenko, you must fly to Orel
and find out what's going on over there in person
Allow me to tell you my plans! - Go ahead.
It doesn't make sense to fly Orel; there are no troops there.
Give me command of the 36th Regiment of motorcycle troops
and the artillery school at Tula and I'll confront Guderian here.
I think we should accept his recommendation, Comrade Stalin
Fine. Don't let the enemy advance beyond Mtsensk - As ordered, Comrade Stalin
Mtsensk 03 October 1941
Whose tanks are these?
Who's asking? - General Lelushenko
Colonel Katukov, commander of the 4th Tank Brigade, at your service.
How many tanks do you have'? - Sixteen
Sixteen? Not so many.
Suburbs of Mtsensk 04 October 1941
Where shall we place the tanks, Colonel?
They'll attack the enemy's open flanks and smash them in a pincer movement
Agreed. That's a good idea. We'll put the tanks where we can ambush them best.
Over there. In the woods.
Artillery, fire!
Colonel, send in the tanks! - Yes sir!
A little more and the enemy will start retreating.
We don't have "a little more". We threw everything we had into the battle
A katyusha division's arrived
Captain Chumak, commander of a mortar division
I was told to provide you a salvo
Why so little? - It'll be enough.
You might want to warn the men in the forward lines, so they don't panic.
Take care of that! I've already heard about your katyushas
I heard the Germans shit their pants when you used them in Orsha. Show us what you got!
Tokyo 04 October 1941
Good morning, Mr. Ambassador - Good morning, Richard. What's up?
I need your advice, sir, as to which information we're able to give to the press
What's the most important news? - I'd stress our offensive against Moscow
Although it won't change a thing - That's unfortunately my opinion as well
The Japanese don't seem to care about our successes - Really?
I sent a message to Berlin explaining that Japan won't declare war on Russia
before the Spring of 1942.
That's the final decision of the Japanese government?
Yes, they will enter the war when we have it won.
I'm sorry, would you like some tea?
No, thank you, I have a press conference to attend
They're following me. I think our luck's starting to run out
Are you ready? - Perhaps we should hold off tonight, Richard
No, it's too important.
The text reads as follows: "There'll be no war this year"
"Ramzai, 04 October 1941."
I've assumed a great responsibility.
Now they have to believe me.
They can't have any doubts about me now. They can't.
That was the last transmission of Richard Sorge
Moscow - Supreme Command
05 October 1941 0300 hours
On 02 October, Army Group Center went on the offensive
Army Group Center, which is numerically superior to our forces
has advanced in the last 48 hours and is threatening the flanks of the entire Western Front
The situation's further complicated by the fact
that in the direction of Moscow, there are no strategic reserves to defend the capital. That's all
Germany's forces are way too strong to stop with the forces we have available
Unfortunately, some military leaders didn't live up to the events around them
They were confident of their bravery or class consciousness
But you need to be well-trained in military matters to repulse the enemy
They seem to lack expertise in military matters, especially in the technological field
What should we be doing differently? First
Things are improving on the Leningrad Front
I therefore recommend we call back Zhukov from Leningrad immediately
Second: We've received reliable reports that the Japanese won't attack in the Far East
So, some of our rifle divisions and all of our tanks can be withdrawn from there
and brought quickly and directly to Moscow.
Third: The Urban Committee of the Party must recruit more men for the People's Militia
The watchword'll be "Everything for the defense of Moscow!"
Moscow - Military Council for the Moscow Region
05 October 1941
Comrade Division Commissar!
Air recon has detected the movement of enemy tanks towards Yugnov
That's impossible! - The information is accurate.
A column of tanks with infantry has penetrated 15 miles into our lines.
The pilots were flying low and could clearly see the fascist crosses on the tanks
and received heavy anti-aircraft fire from the ground.
Is there no way they can be mistaken?
No, they're experienced pilots. They're not mistaken.
We'll have to consult with General Staff HQ
Marshal Shaposhnikov! - Shaposhnikov speaking.
Do you have any new information about the Western Front?
Nothing new.
They have no information.
In our rear, German tanks are advancing on Moscow with no one to oppose them
It'd be criminal to sound the alarm without confirming the veracity of the information
I must ask you to carry out this order as quickly and urgently as you can.
Send our best pilots. They're to fly low and confirm whose tanks and infantry they are
How far away are they?
The vanguard of the column is right outside Yugnov.
That's 120 miles from Moscow.
We must inform HQ!
Get me Marshal Shaposhnikov!
Have you still not gotten any reports about the Western Front?
What's with these calls? Why do you keep asking me the same thing?
Air recon reports the Germans are right outside Yugnov.
Is it possible your pilots may be mistaken?
No, they're not! - That's impossible!
We've received no such report!
Teleguin’? - Yes, Comrade Stalin.
Are you the one who told Shaposhnikov that there was a breakthrough at Yugnov?
Where did you get that information from and who's confirmed it?
The information was reported by our best pilots and then confirmed
What measures have you taken?
I ordered the personnel of two military schools and an academy into battle
Gather up even/one capable of fighting
This is my order for the military commanders of the district:
You're responsible to stop the enemy, no matter what the cost, in no more than five days!
Podolsk Infantry School
Comrade General!
Why don't the cadets have coats?
Supply officer!
Why aren't the cadets wearing coats?
We haven't been able to equip all the companies with Winter uniforms, Comrade General
Everyone is to have a coat by tomorrow! Understood?
Director of Podolsk Infantry School
Major General Smirnov
A group of enemy tanks has broken through the front lines
and is moving towards Moscow
You're our only hope
You must hold the Germans for three days. Only three days!
We're poorly armed and short of ammunition
but, despite that, we must be worthy of our traditions
and of the Red cadets who fought in the Civil War
We swear to do our duty!
We vow not to let the enemy approach Moscow!
We swear it! We swear it! We swear it!
From this moment on, you will obey my orders.
You will march out of Podolsk with gallantry, singing!
We will sing the old songs with gusto!
The sixth company will be in the vanguard.
Sixth company, listen to my order!
Sixth company: attention!
Right face!
Shoulder arms! Eyes forward, march!
Sing!
Remember! I remember the provincial city
peaceful, lost and sad.
The church and the market and its boulevards.
Couples would come and sometimes I saw
that well-known, dear silhouette
Blue beret, blue coat
The girl's poise hidden by a dark skirt
Oh, my fleeting romance!
Tania, Taniusha, my Tatiana.
Remember that hot summer?
Can we forget
the time we had to love?
Company, halt!
Halt! Where are you going? - What do you care?
I'm seizing this vehicle in the name of the high command
This truck belongs to the Executive Committee and those are my personal items
We need it for the front. Sorry!
Filippov! Unload the truck!
What's going on? What are they doing? Haven't you heard? I'm from the Executive Committee!
I understood; but you don't understand Russia. This is more important than rank.
That's how it is. Russia can only be understood with the soul
And you, papa, don't get it.
You're in for a big surprise
Vyazma 06 October 1941
Major General Nikitin, commander of the garrison at Vyazma
How are things? - There's panic in the city.
They say German tanks are on their way from Yugnov
and that we've no troops in Vyazma
Where are the authorities? - In the church. Get in! We'll drive there.
Popov, secretary of the Smolensk Regional Committee.
It'll be alright, Comrades. He's our new commander in chief.
Sorry to disappoint you. I'm the C-in-C, but I have no troops.
I was assured the 16th Army would be here with at least five divisions!
There are German tanks in the city! - From which direction?
I saw them from the belfry.
We must leave the city at once!
Comrade Commander, what are you doing?
You're taking off and leaving us to our fate?
We gave everything we had to the Red Army, down to the last shirt!
I'm an old soldier. I fought the Germans in the last war
We never left them to trample our land. And what are you doing now?
Forgive us, Father!
We will return. For sure.
Turn right!
Moscow 07 October 1941
The boss is sick with the flu
But he ordered me to take you straight to him.
I await your orders, Comrade Stalin
What's new in Leningrad?
The Germans are using less force in their attacks
They suffered heavy casualties in September
so now, they're digging in
Several enemy armored and motorized columns are leaving Leningrad and heading south
They are probably moving in the direction of Moscow.
Let me show you something!
We've run into a very difficult situation here
I can't reach the Western Front. I haven't a clue what's going on over there
We can't make a decision without knowing
where and with what forces the enemy will attack
and how our troops are doing in this section
Go to the Western Front and take a good look at how things are going!
Call me from there, regardless of the time. I'll be waiting for your report.
General Staff of the Western Front 08 October 1941
Why do your reports not notify Comrade Stalin about the actual situation at the front?
Because we do not know what the actual situation is.
No. You know the situation quite well. You know the troops are surrounded
and that they have no reserves.
The situation changes from moment to moment.
We trust, that it will soon change in our favor.
Do you trust the troops to break the encirclement?
They could've avoided it had you noticed the main direction of enemy attacks
and had concentrated all the reserves at that point
But you didn't, although you had two months to do so
It's not so difficult to figure out the Germans' strategy.
It's always the same attacks with mechanized troops against the flanks
But don't worry: I didn't come here to pass judgment
I'm simply stating my opinion. Good day.
We're approaching Protva.
When I was young, I knew this place from top to bottom
Strelkovka's about six miles from here. That's my home village
My mother and my sister with her four children live there
Shall we visit them, Comrade General?
No, there's no time.
Comrade General, what will become of your mother and sister
if the fascists arrive and find out they're related to General Zhukov?
Let's go! At least, we can tell them to leave.
Impossible!
In two weeks, the Germans would indeed occupy Strelkovka
Zhukov would save his mother and his sister at the very last moment
but his house would go up in flames, like the whole village.
You can't go on. Who are you?
General Zhukov. Where's your unit located?
The staff of the armored brigade is in the forest
Colonel Troitski, commander of the armored brigade
My comrade at Halkin-Gol! I didn't expect to see you here.
Quite a surprise for me, too. I thought you were in Leningrad
Tell me, what's going on here! - The armored brigade is part of HQ's reserve
So far, I've received no orders - Well, now the brigade will be under my command.
No tank is to move without an order from me. Clear? - Understood, Comrade General
Deploy part of the brigade and organize the defense
with the goal of sealing off Medyn - Understood
Send a communications officer with me. I wish you success.
Would you like a cup of tea? - No, I can't
Comrade Lieutenant, people from above have arrived
Come here!
Commander of the 6th company of the Infantry School, Podolsk. Lieutenant Mamich
How long have you been here? - Three days.
How did you organize the defense?
We pushed the enemy back to the other bank of the Ugra
Our defensive line passes through the eastern bank
How many men do you have? - 140.
With sixty more, we could strengthen the defense.
Give him 100 men! - That will be difficult, Comrade General.
We don't have the men to pull from other defensive areas
I know that. Pull them from wherever you have to!
And what if you're not able to hold out even with the reinforcements?
We'll hold out. Without fail, Comrade General
Pay attention! The fascists will not come from the Ugra
Tell the cadets! - Yes sir!
Wait, I'll tell them myself.
Why German military coats?
They were taken as booty. They warm the soldiers better than ours
Are you drunk?
The parachutists gave each of us 100 grams against the cold
It's too cold to walk about without a coat, Comrade General
How is that possible? - The quartermaster failed to distribute winter clothing
The quartermaster will face a court martial
I want everyone to be given a coat by this evening. That's an order!
Cadets! Not one step back! Not one inch! Fight to the last man!
Children, please! Try and hold out here two more days!
Two more days.
The coats, by nightfall! - Yes, sir!
Do you know with whom you were speaking?
No, we don't know.
Never forget him! That was Zhukov
Moscow 09 October 1941
Mama, I'm going to the front; I volunteered.
The front? - But don't tell anyone!
If asked, tell them I went to see grandpa in the village
Do you think you're strong enough to do this? Why do you have to go? Why you?
I, myself, asked to be sent to the front.
If you were healthy, you would've done the same
Anyway, I can't stay here any longer. I can't.
Staff Headquarters of the Western Front 10 October 1941
Comrade Marshal! The staff of the 16th Army has broken the encirclement at Vyazma
Commander of the 16th Army Lieutenant General Rokossovski
How do you explain coming to Vyazma with your staff, but not with the troops of the 16th Army?
The front commander ordered me to deliver command of my troops to General Yershakov
I'm to take command of five new divisions in Vyazma
But there were no soldiers in Vyazma!
Peculiar
The order was signed by General Koniev and Military Council member Bulganin
Yes, I gave the order to pull
Rokossovski out of a possible encirclement
He was to take command of five divisions in Vyazma
and counterattack against the Germans
But those divisions went into combat and weren't able to reach Vyazma
The State Council of Defense Commission is here to clarify
the causes for the failures on the Western Front.
It will also take into account this strange decision of yours.
Why did you let the German High Command seize the initiative?
The German High Command won the initiative thanks to its superiority
They had more tanks and more planes
If you want an idea how strong the enemy is, one example will suffice
Against 4 divisions of the 30th Army
the Germans used 12 divisions with more than 400 tanks
The troops of the 30th Army fought bravely and stubbornly, but they were forced to retreat
A strategic withdrawal is a form of complex combat
which requires a high degree of troop preparation.
I won't listen to this anymore. "Strategic withdrawal as a form of complex combat!"
How far back will your "strategic withdrawal" take our troops?
We know how to withdraw. Your strategy is undermining the Red Army. We withdraw, because
Yes. Before the war, we never practiced how to withdraw.
We thought your doctrine called for taking the fight to the enemy Kliment Yefremovioh
We avoided defensive combat. And now, thanks to you, we're paying for it in blood.
What's this? You want to place the blame for your screw-ups on me?
For me, it's clear.
The commander of the Western Front not only shows a lack of strategic understanding
but was also operationally incapable of leading his troops
I will insist that the general staff of the Western Front
in other words, General Koniev, be put up for court martial
Molotov? - Comrade Stalin.
Is Zhukov there? - Zhukov?
Yes, he's here. I'll give him the phone
Zhukov. At your service, Comrade Stalin.
Headquarters has decided to appoint you commander of the Western Front
Do you have any objections?
No, but I have a request: make Koniev my representative
The members of the Committee for Defense have quite another opinion about Koniev
Koniev knows this theater of operations well
Let him take over command in the Kalinin area
I need a representative there, who can think independently.
Fine. All the units of the Reserve Front will be at your disposal
Take over command right away! Don't lose a minute!
As the new commander of the Western Front, I'd like to say a few things
The troops on the Western Front fought with courage
and most importantly, they didn't flee in panic
The former command of the Western Front had a lot to do with that
At the cost of their lives, they saved Moscow.
Let us acknowledge those who fought to the death in defensive battles and encirclements
They stopped the Germans!
They blunted the German offensive for eight days
A fact we must exploit to open a new front before Moscow
Commander of the 16th Army Rokossovsky, I have a mission for you
You will cover the road to Volokolamsk on 14 October - Do I have any soldiers?
Of course. On your left will be the road to Minsk, which will be covered by General Lelushenko
Kubinka 12 October 1941
Colonel Polosujin, commander of the 3rd Far Eastern Rifle Division
The division has everything they need and can go into battle immediately
Congratulations, Colonel. It's a great honor for you. You'll be fighting at Borodino
Borodino 13 October 1941
Why were these left behind? - We weren't given any time!
Remove all the Russian banners
and give them to the units defending Borodino.
May the glory of these banners bring good fortune to our regiments in combat!
What's this?
The guest book for our illustrious visitors.
Polosujin! Write something on behalf of the soldiers.
"We've come to defend the field of Borodino - Polosujin."
Borodino 13 October 1941 1130 hours
At Borodino, a unit composed of so-called French volunteers, fought at Borodino
They had been recruited mainly in Lorraine.
French allies, friends!
History repeats itself
130 years ago, here, in Borodino
Napoleon's Grand Army arrived
At the time, French and German soldiers fought shoulder to shoulder, side by side.
This European army defeated the Russians and took Moscow
Now, you will repeat the feats of your ancestors.
Brave Frenchmen! I call upon your heroism!
Borodino 13 October 1941 1200 hours
Comrade Colonel! We're the unified battalion of the Moscow Political-Military School
600 men, all Communists.
This is the standard of a regiment of grenadiers
Take care of it, as if it were your own.
They will be in the second echelon. They'll have it the hardest
The defense will be led by the 230th Regiment, made up of volunteers from Moscow
Good morning, Muscovites!
Good morning!
This is the banner of the Muscovite militias of 1812.
Thank you, Comrade Colonel.
For us, it is a relic of great value
Where do the men come from?
From the factory "The Sickle and Hammer".
The engineer Grigoriev. - Greetings, Comrade Colonel
Gonchar, electromonitor.
Orlov and Zajarchenko
The Pavlovs, father and son, from "The Sickle and Hammer".
Purebred Muscovites? - By all means!
How's the mood? - Combative.
Only, the company commander, who's so hard on us
What kind of man is he?
He's my son. He's a first-rate soldier, but tries too hard
After we're done clobbering the Fritzes, I'll make you a sergeant
I'll handle it personally. - Did you hear?
Colonel Orlenko, commander of the 20th Armored Division.
This is the cavalry banner of 1812. May your steeds strike the enemy hard!
Our horses of steel are few; but they'll do
If something happens to me, let my family know!
Of course. You do the same!
Volokolamsks Directorate 14 October 1941
Major General Dovator - commander, 3rd Cavalry Corps
Password!
I couldn't tell you. We just got out of the encirclement
No one told me about it
Nothing else I could do, friend. There's no time to screw around
Comrade General!
The 3rd Cavalry Corps presents itself, as ordered
Good morning! Let's enter my headquarters!
We live like kings here. We even have a tent!
Stop! Password!
Major General Panfilov
Commander of the 31st Rifle Division
What's this nonsense about a password?
We just arrived from Central Asia and you greet us with screams!
I'm not screaming. Pass!
Our 16th Army is still not up to strength
Our main force is the Third Cavalry Corps.
Yeah, but we're pretty decimated
As you're aware, the corps just escaped an encirclement
We're aware of your brave deeds
We got General Dovator's corps; a cadet regiment of 1200 men; and Panfilov's 316th Division
Yes, I have a full division of 15,000 fighters and armed accordingly
We have good officers on duty, and commissars recruited from Kazakh politicians
We're ready to fight.
Borodino 14 October 1941
Batteries ready! - Batteries ready!
Concentrated fire with high explosives!
Elevation: 80!
Communication's been cut off! - Out loud, in a chain!
Out loud, in a chain! Elevation: 80!
Elevation: 80!
Fire at will!
Follow me! Attack! Forward!
The first attack was repelled!
They held out! Borodino's ours!
Great! But don't sit on your laurels!
Do night reconnaissance and be ready for tomorrow! Got it?
Are you defending Borodino?
Mine the highway to Minsk! Every possible on-ramp
Organize mobile groups, complete with pioneers
provide them with mines and explosive charges.
Their mission is to close the way to enemy tanks
There are no reserves. That's everything we've got
Staff HQ of the Western Front 14 October 1941
Comrade Commander! German parachutists have landed in the area of the general staff!
Order me a sub machine gun!
Inform me once they've finished off the paratroopers!
The parachute drop was finished off. There are prisoners
Are you going to question them? - I have no time.
Shall I inform headquarters? - To what end?
Borodino 15 October 1941
Report from General Dojturov to Field Marshal Kutuzov
about the battle of Borodino on 26 September 1812
"Lithuanian, lzmailovski and Finnish regiments showed themselves to be worthy
"in battle and were the first to repulse the enemy attacks with great courage
"Equally brave, other regiments also repelled the enemy
"The soldiers fought with great courage until nightfall
"at which time, the battle ended"
Same as now
One could send this today as a battle report!
And how it's written! Really extraordinary!
Colonel Polosujin, hero of the Battle of Borodino
in the 20th century, would fall in battle at Gzhatsk within three months in February 1942
They've woken up! Now, they'll come and try to cook us alive! Everyone to their positions!
Separate the infantry from the tanks!
Open fire in the direction of the army observation point.
Open fire on me! Open fire on me!
Orlenko, head up front! Forwards!
Now, we'll give them something to light their cigarettes with.
On 13 October, the enemy began an offensive from all directions towards Moscow
In the center, the enemy seized Kaluga, took Kalinin, Borovsk and Vereya
In Borodino, the enemy managed to penetrate between two and four miles
This complicates the situation around Moscow
Our troops are fighting with extreme bitterness
The commander of the Bryansk Front, General Yeremenko, is wounded
Army commander Ershakov is dead; army commander Lelushenko, wounded
It has been proposed that we make Gorovo commander of the 5th Army instead of Lelushenko
Does everyone agree? Continue!
In view of the threatening situation, it is necessary we prepare anti-aircraft batteries
for possible use against enemy land forces and have sapper detachments ready to mine
the roads and bridges around Moscow and possibly blow up the capital's bridges
Steps must be taken to prepare the capital for evacuation
Comrade Molotov will address this issue.
Due to the frontline's proximity, the Defense Committee must decide to evacuate
the government of the USSR to Kuibyshev
Government agencies must be evacuated, along with the diplomatic corps, large factories
scientific and cultural institutions
Also, state institutions of major importance
You must remove Lenin from the mausoleum!
You, Boris Mikhailovich, will leave with the chief of staff
Let Vasilievski stay with the operative group!
Comrade Stalin must leave Moscow
We've no right to endanger his life. That's my opinion.
I will talk with "Comrade Stalin" about it.
The evacuation! We've never seen anything like this before in history!
1,523 factories were dismantled and put on rail cars usually under enemy air attack
and, within five months, reassembled in the eastern parts of the USSR
For this purpose, 1,500,000 rail cars were used.
In total, 10 million people were transported east
The entire industrial complex was evacuated to the East.
Moscow 16 October 1941
Halt! Turn around! You're not allowed to proceed
It is an outrage! I'm going to complain!
Halt! What is it, comrade?
The bosses skedaddled and left us out to dry
The fewer the scaremongers, the better
It's our Moscow and we won't surrender it!
And the bosses?
Stalin's staying in Moscow.
Company, attention! Forward, march!
Podolsk Infantry School 17 October 1941
The Germans took the village of Shubinka and will attack us from there.
From there, they can carry out the offensive in the direction of Maloyargaslavetz
Each village taken by the enemy brings them one step closer to Moscow
One last effort, brothers! Do what you can!
We will do our best, Comrade
Thank you.
Soldiers, advance!
The machine gun's screwed up.
To Hell with it! Follow me! Forward!
Fillippov, sing!
Don't linger! Harass the enemy! Ahead!
They've done it! They've done it. They've taken back Shubinka!
If only we could give them a hand
Chief, do we have any reserves?
Not one man. - I'm talking about reserves - None, Comrade General!
They've surrounded us! No happy song's gonna help us now.
You're the only subordinate I have left.
Well, Cadet Gusev? Get going! Attack the enemy's flanks!
This is no time for jokes. The enemy doesn't have a sense of humor
First, some heavy artillery to tear a hole in their lines.
Bastards!
Wait, Gusev!
Gusev, wait! Think of Zoya!
It's over already
We stopped the enemy for one more day.
