5.0 out of 5 stars The Soviet Horror of WWII - A Historical Panorama April 4 2002
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
These 10 episodes (5 video tapes) provide an intense panoramic historical condensation of soviet history for the approximate period from 1934 through post WWII (although necessarily not complete in every detail). It provides actual video footage of battle scenes, from both German and Soviet sources.

The film impacts one with the immensely horrifying historical facts about the Soviet Government's actions affecting the death of tens of millions of soviet citizens (20+ million) leading up to WWII, and then facing the loss of a much greater number during the course of WWII. Simply put, this series is a MUST SEE. It provides first and second hand historical & psychological analysis of Stalin's government and it's efforts to achieve total control and power within and beyond the Soviet territories. A stark, shocking, 'real' look into what is arguably, to date, the most hellish period of human recorded history. Stalin & Hitler at first briefly court and then convulse the world, they are opposite are sides of the same coin!!

4.0 out of 5 stars worth the price Nov 2 2011
By MDK
Format:DVD
Good video, really stays with the Russian/ Germany conflict, not all over Asia or Western Europe. There were several stories I've never heard before, and I've been collecting a long time. It's worth the price, worth the watch. When I first watched this many years ago on the history channel I was impressed. So when seeing the dvd format, it was a no brainer. BUY Goes in the collection

I have a standard by which I judge documentaries: if they present what happened as we know it with as little bias as possible while keeping it interesting, I admire them. Read more
