World War II. The battle for Ukraine lasted more than two years. Over 2 million Soviet troops helped to liberate Ukrainian cities and villages. Destroying Hitler's defences was impossible, some said. But the Soviet Army crossed the Dnieper River and broke Hitlers Panther-Wotan line. Survivors remember burned villages, the bodies of women and children, rivers that ran red with the blood of soldiers... Though many people are now trying to rewrite history, we must never forget who fought there and why.
