    The best Stalingrad Documentary I have ever seen

    There is an amazing new documentary up on youtube at the moment simply entitled "Stalingrad". It's a 3 part series with part 1 "the attack" part 2 "the kessel" and part 3 "the doom". It covers the saga from the initial attack right up to the survivors coming home, with accounts from the survivors and some good footage.

    It is a truly truly moving documentary, extremely well put together with some terrific music. During the last part of the last episode I had tears in my eyes as I watched it, and was really trying not to cry.

    It is well worth a viewing people.

    May the Germans, Russians and civilians never be forgotten.

    Part 1 is linked here and you can navigate the rest from there.

    Enjoy.

    Great thanks. I will look. If it's on DVD I'd like that also.

      This is a very good dvd series, I purchased it last year. They include veteran interviews throughout. I highly recommend it to all those interested in the Russian Front and/or Stalingrad.

      Thanks

                This is the best so far on the subject. I got the DVD from Amazon a year ago. I had read many books and see many documents but this is the most "in deep" emotional description on this sad event.

                  Very good

                  A very, very good documentary

                  Includes the veterans' descriptions of T34s running down their comrades, the cannibalism, the chaos at the airfields and the death toll from disease.

                  Some scores were settled amongst the survivors on the trains home..

                  Worth a look!

                  This is the cover. Region 4 (Australia) available at the ABC shop.
                  ISBN / Catalogue Number: 198972

                  http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/produc...oductid=777552

                  I had a very quick look on Amazon and couldn't see it.

                  cheers

                  Mikel

                    I am assuming that this is it: Clicky it's the one that I ordered anyway.



                    .
                    At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'

                      I saw this on TV a year ago as well. Very good. Lot's of info that wouldn't make the history books from survivors. Like the story of the 4 officers that kicked the doctor and wounded off one of the last remaining transport planes. I want a DVD as well. SAve one for me please!!!!!!!!!!

                          This is it I think? A movie, but also contains the 3 Stalingrad docum.

                              An outstanding and powerful documentry and a must see for anyone who has an interest in the eastern front campaign.

                              One of the best doco's I have seen.
