Country:  | Flash summary of the Great Patriotic War.
Somebody posted this link over at Ubi. If you're interested in the war on the Eastern Front, give it a gander. It's very well put together. Just hit "Start Presentation" on the small map. http://english.pobediteli.ru/ |

Country: | I watched the entire presentation stopping only a few times to view the little snippets of information and videos. It was excellent. Although the vast majority of that I already knew about, it's much better to see the movements of the armies in action, on screen, as and when it happened in comparison to other events.
Excellent piece of work.

Country:  | Ahhh - yes, it is good isn't it? Did people check out the section on the Brest-Litovsk fortress at the beginning?
Believe me, what's written there about the events that happened at what became known as the 'Hero Fortress' isn't the half of it.....
'Pobediteli' means Victory in case you were wondering. | |
