these pillboxes are very interesting thing, why to destroy them. Instead they should exist as they are, they serve as remainder of past history for coming generations. My grandfather was from Soviet Army, he went till Berlin. He was wounded to his leg...unfortunately very little information left about him and his military history. Maybe one can find information about him from archive. Often case old Soviet documentaries portray USSR as victor of WWII, I think that can partially true. Thus, I was wondering whether any one of you could suggest documentaries on WWII, so called Western view of the war, I would appreciate it. I can find documentaries by myself, but often war connaiseurs know best docs on this topic.
The BBC 'World at war' is an absolute masterpiece. A contender for greatest documentary ever made. It is obviously UK-centric, but well worth anyone's time to watch.
The World at War is fantastic, but it wasn’t made by the BBC. Rather it was made by one of the companies, Thames Television, that owned one of the UK’s commercial franchises in the 1970s and broadcast across the ITV commercial network.
It’s worth sampling if only for Laurence Olivier’s narration.
There is a similar BBC made series about WW1 which is almost equally good called The Great War
Sorry for being a bit pedantic! Just think it's interesting that ITV did some good stuff in those years. TBF I think the BBC showed it later on (in the 2000s?)
