The film begins with an animated map of Eastern Europe with Soviet soldier double exposed on the bottom.
The narrator lists the names of the rivers that the Red Army crosses as they march west: Volga, Don, Desna, Dnieper, Bug, Dvina, Neman, Vistula, and finally, Oder.
The undeterred men of the Red Army are shown as they cross the river while under German fire.
This is interspersed with shots of Nazi propaganda films showing parades in the same areas, providing a sense of irony.
