Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Russia stops Germany cold
Review: This video in the why we fight series shows how Germany tried to conquer Russia, but failed. The video will show that Germany did conquer some of Russia but failed in the rest. Some of the facts maybe wrong since this was filmed in the 1940's, but still is a good buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Propaganda? Yes. But also something else.
Review: Yes, this is propaganda. But this is also a rare film. You will see a million WWII movies that gloss over the russian side of the story. They fought bravely with their backs against the wall and prevailed against some serious odds. The director had to work with the russian propaganda footage, and so it is a glimpse into their world at the time. It is a rare film because it does not brand the whole nation "evil". And, actually, it gives you a piece of history you don't know.
