Again, can we at least discuss this before a non-admin just takes it upon themself to move this to a page that may be more sensitive in real life but has zero in-universe backing? Also, note that even Wikipedia uses the name "Battle of Kiev" to refer to this particular conflict, and I see no reasonable argument that a Doctor Who Wiki discussing it from an in-universe point of view should be held to a HIGHER standard than a genuine online encyclopedia. This is exactly why random users shouldn't just blunder into massive decisions of this nature.
Talk about it here.
The Battle of Kiev was a battle fought on the Eastern Front of World War II in 1941. It was fought in Soviet Ukrainian (AUDIO: Thin Ice) capital city of Kiev, involving the forces of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and was part of the former's Operation Barbarossa.
The Wehrmacht were victorious. Together with the Battle of Bialystock and the Battle of Vyazma-Briansk, over two million soldiers in the Red Army became German prisoners of war, more than the Germans knew how to deal with. The number of prisoners eclipsed the size of the entire British Army.
Propagandists back in Germany reported on these great successes, but were instructed to tone their reports down after people stopped believing them. (PROSE: Just War)
