Somebody posted this link over at Ubi. If you're interested in the war on the Eastern Front, give it a gander. It's very well put together. Just hit "Start Presentation" on the small map.

Nice site NS. The presentation is really good.

I watched the entire presentation stopping only a few times to view the little snippets of information and videos. It was excellent. Although the vast majority of that I already knew about, it's much better to see the movements of the armies in action, on screen, as and when it happened in comparison to other events.

Excellent piece of work.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Agreed. It's very well made, and the additional information and veteran interviews presented throughout are an excellent touch.

 

[Vassili Zaitzev]

looks cool.

Ahhh - yes, it is good isn't it? Did people check out the section on the Brest-Litovsk fortress at the beginning?

Believe me, what's written there about the events that happened at what became known as the 'Hero Fortress' isn't the half of it.....

'Pobediteli' means Victory in case you were wondering.

 

[mosquitoman]

That was very good

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

this really is very good, if a little fast, one of my history teachers will be interested in this!

You can pause and move around to any point during the GPW.

Actually - have a look at these as well.
