Why were Guderian's panzers so short of fuel, trucks and tanks when they finally struck south in late August 1941? How did the Germans capture an intact 800-metre bridge over the Desna? Why did Bock decide to abandon the Yelnya salient after weeks of bloody fighting?
Join Al Murray and James Holland for part 3 of The Road to Kiev, the culmination of our coverage of Operation Barbarossa, as Guderian's drive south struggles on, Zhukov hammers the German centre at Yelnya, and the Wehrmacht begins to bleed itself white.
