War of the Century

[Jobu88]

This is an un-paid endorsement for the video "War of the Century".

Produced by the BBC, it covers the war in Russia with extensive interviews with veterans from both sides, extensive footage, and best of all it's not the History Channel where two out of every three "facts" are wrong. Ian Kershaw is listed as the primary supporting expert, David Glantz is also listed along with several others.

The interviews alone would make a great documentary movie. I had not seen any of the interviews before, they are about equally split between Germans and Russians. Includes people like Stalin's telegraph operator, German 6th Army survivors, a Russian NKVD officer, and of course lots of combat soldiers.

It's divided into 4 parts, each is about 45 minutes long. Net Flix has it, that's how I found it. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.
