Its most interesting to see the interviews about World War II. I remember listening as a boy every day on the radio to the news of the Batttle of Stalingrad. Its most informative to learn more about the history of the time.

I want to commend Russia Today for producing this excellent series of interviews from veterans of WWII. Is there are TV documentary in the works? I truly hope so. These interviews are extremely important historical testimonies of the horrors of war. Most media outlets these days (particularly in America) only focus on sex and violence, while ignoring anything substantive. Kudos to Russia Today for such classy and intelligent programming! More please!

Loved the style of this little piece. Short, straight to the point. Also, nice usage of WW II footage, which is rare nowadays.
