* MountainWarfare: "Episode 8: The Battle for the Caucasus" has Soviet infantry fighting elite German mountain troops in the mountain range of the same name. Thanks in large part to a HomeFieldAdvantage, the Soviets are able to call in air support and use the local terrain to hold off the Germans long enough until the latter are forced into retreat following the defeat at Stalingrad.

Added DiffLines:



Added DiffLines:

* {{Narrator}}: Narration for every episode, in Russian or English depending on which version one watches.


Added DiffLines:

* SpreadingDisasterMapGraphic: Used several times to illustrate the progress of German offensives, mainly the original Operation Barbarossa offensive, but also the Case Blue attack on Stalingrad and the Caucasus in 1942. Then done in reverse to illustrate the Soviets counterattacking and, eventually, winning the war.


Added DiffLines:

* StukaScream: A stock sound effect is used to illustrate Luftwaffe bombing. Amusingly, the effect is used not only to show actual Stukas, but sometimes with other planes, like when the narration specifies the Heinkel dive bombers used at Stalingrad (episode 7).
