    Very interesting. I just got a movie, and have been lending it to friends on the Battle of Brest Fortress (Bree-est) Germans versus Russians.

    The "The Winter War" with the Finns versus the Russians is very good. Amazing how much is NOT TAUGHT in schools now. " " Talvisota "

    Lest we never forget that war is terrible.

    Just started to read the best book I've read in years : "The Guns at Last Light:the war in Western Europe,1944-1945" by Atkinson. it's the 3rd part of a trilogy
    Even though we all know the outcome and the big picture,this incredible book goes into all the details of the what could be considered the most incredible military operation in history
    I highly recommend it for anyone with the least interest in WWII

    I thought this was going to be an Alien Invasion or Dinosaur island thread. ;)




    In hindsight they all should have followed Patton's sage advice; "Its the Ruskies stupid !"
