In 1941, Operation Barbarossa brought the Soviet Union to the brink of collapse. To save their war effort from the advancing Nazi war machine, Joseph Stalin ordered the largest industrial evacuation in history. Entire factories, machines, and millions of workers were loaded onto trains and moved east to the Urals and Siberia. Discover how this massive relocation allowed the USSR to mass-produce the T-34 tank, outbuild Germany, and ultimately win WW2 on the Eastern Front, despite the unimaginable suffering of the Soviet people.
