link Great documentary, narrated by Burt Lancaster, about the war in the east. Really Soviet-biased, but good nonetheless. Enjoy PER TMP COMPLIANCE STANDARDS: How would you game Burt Lancaster falling through a temporal rift and ending up in Stalingrad? |

Whoops, sopke too soon. Burt's voice appears to be dubbed over in Russian, which I don't speak. Oh well, maybe we have some Russian speakers who will enjoy it. I wish that I could find the original, English version of this. |

I taped the whole thing a long back when it was on some channel and Burt was speaking English. I wonder if the tapes are still in decent shape? Will try and find them over the weekend. It was a good series to watch. |

The series came out some 20-30 years ago (IIRC). It came at a time when most in the west still viewed the "Eastern Front" as a place where the winter and human waves destroyed the German Army. It used previously untapped sources to provide a different view of the conflict than that presented in "Lost Victories" and "Paul Carell's" books. |

Just like IGWARG- saw it when I was younger- great series. Have it on DVD- without Russian dubbing- all Burt Lancaster- all the time. Soviet biased???- just the side of conflict west is not familiar with… |
