The Battle of Russia is the fifth film of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" propaganda film series.

In this film we learn about the events on the Russian front of World War II. We learn about Russia's heroic resistance to invasion in the past and how those qualities were called upon in the current war. The vast natural resources of the Soviet Union are then described, showing why the land is such a hot prize for conquerors. We also learn about Russian tenacity and their determination to win against the seemingly invincible forces of Nazi Germany in the bloodiest fighting of the war.
Communism is never mentioned at any point in the film. The start of the film also includes a quote from U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who commended the Russian people's defense of their nation as one of the most courageous feats in military history.
