From the 1920s a detestation of the Soviet Untermenschen had been a central part of IN PRODUCTION Hitler’s ideology. A war with Soviet Russia HITLER: UNCOVERING HIS FATAL OBSESSION was always a precondition for the success of his racial vision; for the flourishing of Aryan man. When Hitler did eventually invade Russia in 1941, it took the Soviets entirely by surprise – until this point, the two nations had been freely cooperating. What followed was a campaign of unparalleled barbarism, on a scale of destruction unmatched in history. The Red Army’s disastrous initial response would gradually be turned around through elemental spirit, enormous human sacrifice and strategic intuition. Some of the most famous battles in the history of warfare would pan out through this epochal struggle. Eventually, the Soviet ‘steamroller’ would turn things around, repelling the invaders, recapturing scarred, lost territory, and marching all the way to Berlin, where the Hammer and Sickle would fly from the Reichstag; the Untermensch now standing astride Hitler’s capital. The partition of Berlin would follow, setting the scene for the Cold War and 50 years of Communist domination in Eastern Europe.

RAILWAY MURDERS Many opponents of the railways painted a gloomy picture of the prospect which faced the lone passenger in the unlit carriages. Trains in those days were not corridor connected, and men were robbed and women assaulted often enough to provide pessimists and hostile sections of the press with plenty of material. The first railway murder, however, did not occur until 1864. It was one of the most sensational crimes of the century. This new drama-documentary series, presented by Nicholas Day and from the same team that produces Murder Maps, looks at some of the murders that took place on the British Railway network from the 1800’s to the 1950’s.
