It’s not V-Day where I live, but I have always respected those who fought and served. How badly provisioned the Russian army was during the war, and still managed to hold off the invasion of their homeland, and push back into german is a story not many people hear. Especially considering the conditions they had to fight in.
I’m not sure how historically accurate it is, but I enjoyed movie “Enemy At The Gates.” Have you seen it?
