On Saturday 28 November 2026 at 10:30 the Médiathèque Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne shows Opération Barbarossa, au cœur des ténèbres, a 2024 documentary of 90 minutes, in the presence of its director Thomas Sipp, as part of the Mois du Doc. The listing says it tells the bloody invasion of the USSR by Hitler's troops in 1941 through archives and animated images. It describes the Germans in June 1941, drunk on easy victories in Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, preparing a secret operation in the east and sure they would be home before Christmas.

A documentary and a talk are easy to attend alone. «La sanglante invasion de l’URSS par les troupes hitlériennes en 1941, racontée à l’aide d’archives et d’images animées.» Starts 10:30, ends about 12:30.

  3. Use it as your base. Free wifi, a quiet desk, notice boards with local groups, and often newspapers and courses in several languages.
  4. Go back to the same program. The second visit is when people remember your name.
