For 14 months, Soviet forces attempted to capture German positions at Rzhev, just 120 miles from Moscow. The result: 2 million casualties for territory the Germans voluntarily evacuated in March 1943. This campaign matched Stalingrad's scale but disappeared from history books.
In this video, you'll discover:
► How 2 million became casualties in forgotten operations
► Why Germans withdrew from positions Soviets couldn't capture
► The supply shortage that prevented Soviet success
► How Operation Mars failed while Stalingrad succeeded
► Why this campaign remains controversial today
From strategic miscalculation to voluntary withdrawal, this is WW2's most futile campaign.
