Russian Sailors' Dance - In celebration of VE Day 9 May Red Square [View all]

70th Anniversary of VE Day - well celebrated in Russia which lost more than 25 million (26.6 million according to resources on Wikkepedia) in the conflict...The conflict over Stalingrad is listed as the turning point and I'm enclosing a bonus bullet on that within this thread...Hope that both will be enjoyed.

Here is a documentary on Stalingrad - it is long but it was made in 2003 and includes interviews with Russian and German participants.

Note: if there are additional edits - it's to get the videos embedded.
