Very interesting. My Dad and I have both been watching this series.

I think it will open a lot of peoples' eyes on how murderous both the Nazis and the Stalinists were as they swept back and forth across eastern Europe.

Certinaly opened my eyes regarding the 'non-aggression pact' with the partition of Poland and the murders committed

Wish I'd recorded it actually
