Soviet Storm: World War II in the East

[BanzaiCat]

Anyone else looking for a decent documentary on the Eastern Front war in World War II, check out this Russian-produced series (made in 2011 for Russian TV). All the maps and most graphics are in Cyrillic, and they intersperse a LOT of reenactors with CGI tanks and trucks (and soldiers at times) as they tell the story. Normally I find CGI in these kinds of things laughable, but the reenactors do a commendable job and the CGI isn't half bad, actually.

Here's the first in the series. The others are on YouTube if you're interested. They're also on Amazon Prime. Hoping to have time to watch more of these in a bit.

Note: the annoying "watch this video on YouTube" might appear, and if so, click the YouTube link to do so. It's worth it if you're interested in that conflict.
