Ullrich Kasten draws parallels between the trajectories of the two 20th century dictators, who never met each other but had in common their anti-Semitism and a form of paranoia. The director describes in particular the terrible game of liar's poker they played at the time of the German-Soviet pact. Thus, when Nazi Germany invaded the USSR on June 22, 1941, Stalin was dumbfounded. He was slow to react and gave contradictory orders. During this time, the German troops, hardened by several blitzkriegs, triumphed. The Führer already saw himself in Moscow, which he said he wanted to raze to the ground and replace with a huge artificial lake. Then, faced with his failure, he swore to destroy Stalingrad. This terrible battle will be the turning point of the war.
