Tristan Hughes heads to Germany to investigate how these German 'barbarians' beat one of history’s most powerful and well trained armies. With contemporary writing and expert historians on hand he walks in the footsteps of what's now remembered as the Varian disaster. In the early first century the Romans saw Germania as a land of forests and swamps full of backwards people, a place easy for them to conquer and control for their growing empire. German tribes were paying taxes, giving tributes and sending their high born sons to Rome, it was all going so well…but within this flourishing empire was a growing resentment of ruthless Roman rule. In early 9AD Roman forces led by Roman General Publius Quinctillius Varus crossed into the area of Germania run by the Cherusci tribe. Luckily for them they had a high profile Cherusci on their side who had been educated in Rome, he was the perfect tamed barbarian, Arminius. Arminus would be their guide to all things Cherusci, helping negotiate trade deals with the area’s Germanic tribes and ensuring safe passage throughout Barbaricium. To control this potentially hostile area, Varus and Arminius were aided by three legions, roughly 15,000 men, who were highly efficient trained killers. By Summer this team of Cherusci and Roman’s had hacked their way further into the heartlands of Barbaricium, spending time in ‘friendly’ territory…but little did they know there was a traitor in their midst…Arminius aided by thousands of Germans had a plan that was about to change Roman history…forever! At the end of the summer Varus and his men were dismantling their camp ready for a return to the safety of the Rhine, but shock erupted through the camp as news broke of an uprising. A group of Germans had risen in revolt against Roman rule! Varus and his legions decided they had one more fight in them before they headed back for a restful winter. They marched into Barbaricum, ready for an easy win against these troublesome Germans. Varus and his men headed deeper and deeper into Germania unaware of the impending danger that lurked for them within the dense forest ahead.

As always he is joined by Keeper of Firearms & Artillery, Jonathan Ferguson who talks him through the history of all the pistols, rifles and machine guns employed in the conflict. First up is the TT-33, a sidearm equipped by most soldiers of the Soviet Army during the Second World War. The TT-33 or ‘Tokarev’ Pistol was named after its designer Fedor Tokarev, and was initially conceived as a modern replacement for the aging Nagant M1895 revolver. The simplicity of its design as well as an improvement in firepower would result in the production of over a million of the pistols by the end of the conflic. Second is the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle, the standard infantry weapon of the Red Army during World War II. Originally designed in 1891, the rifle would undergo several modifications before its M91/30 variant became standard issue for the Soviets. By the time World War Two had broken out, the rifle's ruggedness, reliability, and mass-production capability made it an indispensable weapon for the nation’s war effort. It was also used by the famous Soviet snipers of the era, including Vasily Zaitsev and Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Third up, the PPSh-41 or ‘Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina’ named after its designer Georgy Shpagin. This rapid weapon, capable of firing 1000 rounds per minute, was not simply a stunning submachine gun but a stalwart of the Red Army in World War Two. Adopted as a cost-effective alternative to the PPD-40, the PPSh-41 soon became a symbol of Soviet infantry firepower and played a critical role in the close quarters fighting that has become synonymous with the sieges and battles of the Eastern Front. Last but not least is the 'DP', otherwise known as ‘Degtyaryov’ machine gun. Designed for the Soviet Red Army in the 1920s under the leadership of Vasily Degtyaryov and trialled shortly before the Second World War broke out, the gas-operated DP would prove to be a much relied upon support weapon of the Red Army. Produced 800,000 times across four decades and with a service history that extends to the modern day, the DP proved to be an extremely trustworthy and versatile firearm - with many variations developed for multi-purpose use.
