The Russians, Berlin and all that ...

Here's an interest article that came my way regarding the Red Army and their advance into Germany. The war correspondent was Osmar White, an Aussie.

Some good quotes there.

" We are pledged to destroy Fascism. German fascism is no worse than any other Fascism. The only country in the world which recognises and destroys Fascism in any disguise is Russia – but it is not a matter of nationality, you know. Nationality is not important to us. We did not hare Germans – or Italians or Chinese or Negroes. Oh no. We do not think Russians are better than other people, except perhaps that Russians have a system which seeks to destroy Fascism. We will make Russia strong and secure – not to impose our will on other peoples but to defend men against Fascism wherever it shows itself. Russia must first be made strong and secure. That is a good sense. That is logic. We have nothing against capitalist democracy, except perhaps that it turns Fascist so easily when something goes wrong with the machinery.’

The bold part sure gets thrown around alot nowadays.

Cool site Grisha, you got any other suggestions? You seem to be consistently coming up with really cool history sites... =)

Preferably something about the Eastern Front, and any time period is good.

Thanks

P.S. I especially like 1941-42 stuff and stuff in Poland and the end of the war period in Germany..

Thanks, Sublime. Nothing at the moment, but there should be more coming before too long
