jacobs_ladder2 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 This site has a flash presentation of the entire war in the east from beginning to end. It is quite the piece of work. Unfortunately it is in Russian, which is a bit of a drag, but it is worth a glance. Is it just me or are there a lot of excellent Russian language websites these days?

Bigduke6 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 For reasons best known to battlefield.ru the Russian-language links almost all work, but the English-language links, only a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's been going through ownership changes since January of this year. I don't know who this new guy is, seems a bit sketchy. Valera was a great guy I loved reading everything he would write. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobs_ladder2 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Did anyone have a look at that flash representation of the entire war? It is unbelievable. I have been looking at it today and it is stunning. Even without having a decent grasp of Russian it is definitely worth the time. The website is also making an effort to record the names and locations of two million some veterans. They have just over a million so far. Impressive. Cheers Paul p.s. I am officially renewing my efforts to learn Russian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxa Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The flash film was great even for one who can barely make out the names of the most prominent cities. It gives you a good grasp of timings and such. Thanks for the link! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
