School Lecture for Years 5-8

Many thanks to ex-Perrott parent, author and BAFTA award-winning documentary-maker, Stewart Binns, who gave a talk to Years 5-8 before half term on Operation Barbarossa – otherwise known as the largest and most destructive military campaign in human history. It’s a topic he has a wealth of knowledge about, having recently written the book ‘Barbarossa: And the Bloodiest War in History’ – published in April. Stewart was at pains to stress the lessons to be learned from the horrific suffering on the Eastern Front and his talk provoked a host of questions. Many thanks, Stewart, for an informative and insightful lecture.
