WW11 The Soviet Union did not exist.
 

Last night I was watching a history of WW11 on the TV and it was as if
the Soviet Union did not exist.

The war was won by Churchhill and Patton. No mention of Stalingrad or the
Battle of Kursk nor General Zhukov.

I expect bias but not to that degree.

History Channel?

No. I think it was the channel which usually carry the Pawn Shop.

In truth Patton had his ass saved by Field Marshall Montgomery else he would have outrun his supply lines.

In time you will find that many 'documentaries' display thr producer's bias.

Anyhow to a large degree many educated people in the west even if they
know about Stalingrad know zero about Kursk.

Kursk was the battle which broke the back of Germany.

I saw a good one on the battle of kursk ,I think it was called Battles 360 it had both generals featured and there manuevers broke down.It was very good,it has been a few years though,Teir is some good WWII documentarys,Plus a new movie Called Emporer,with Tommy lee Jones,about the war trials and the japanese emporer,should he be tried.very very Good.that movie is on netflix BTW.

Agreed and I'm an unedumacated HS drop out. ;) The Battle of Kursk in eastern Ukraine was the largest land battle in history. The new Russian tank (T31?) with it's larger gun and sloping armor proved itself to be no slouch. Those truck mounted rocket artillery scared the piss out of the Wehrmacht too.

It's been observed that returned veterans note, with time, mounting ignorance of once-mountainous matters, that they knew from long laborious traverse.

:rolleyes: Particularly British historians but I'm biased. Pops served under Patton in the 10th AD during the Battle of the Bulge.;)

I've seen some pretty stinky history on the 'History Channel.' They had some right winger out of the 'Citadel' doing a weird take on Stalingrad in one recent segment I happened to see. They kept the pro-Nazi slant pretty-much between the lines, but it was there....
