The 60-minute documentary was the fifth of the Army Special Service's "Why We Fight" series. Assembled under the supervision of Lt. Colonel Frank Capra, the film is a sublimely assembled collection of authentic newsreel footage from both the U.S. Signal Corps and various Soviet sources. Narrated by Anthony Veiller, Battle for Russia is designed to clarify the history of America's Russian allies to military and civilian audiences alike, and to emphasize the importance of Russo-American cooperation in defeating the Nazi juggernaut. The film's highlight is the siege of Stalingrad, alternately terrifying and awe-inspiring. The musical score was by Russian expatriate Dmitri Tiomkin, who'd previously collaborated with Capra on Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Battle of Russia is the fifth of seven documentaries from the Why We Fight series directed by Frank Capra. Released between 1942 and 1945, these films were shown to American military personnel for instructional purposes; they also served as American propaganda during World War II. This film portrays the epic struggle between Germany and Russia on the Eastern front. Topics covered include past (failed) invasions of Russia (the Teutonic Knights, Sweden, France), the natural resources of Russia (timber, oil, farmland), the peoples of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), the scorched earth policy, Red Army methods of fighting, the siege of Leningrad, and the battle of Stalingrad. Two themes are developed in this episode: the battle of Russia as a people's war and the myth of the German army's invincibility. This film does a good job of portraying this titanic struggle between Germany and Russia but makes no mention of the brutalities of Joseph Stalin. Still, this is a good introduction to combat on the Eastern Front in World War II.
