  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAsXB73TXSc&amp;t=3859">1:04:19</a> &nbsp;lol, the best quote in the entire series &quot;The Italian 8th army with its 6 ill equipped and unreliable divisions&quot;

  No matter how many documentaries I watch or books I read, I am still just astounded at the pure scale of warfare on the Eastern front. Hundreds of divisions. Millions of men. It&apos;s almost incomprehensible. I&apos;m a combat veteran of the Iraq War and it feels like my experience was almost a skirmish compared to the fighting these men were involved in. It was called &apos;Total War&apos; and I can&apos;t think of a better description.

  Props to the narrator for his smooth, eloquent and Shakespearean voice.

  Visited Volgagrad on business. Was impressed by the large geographic footprint of the battlefield. The scale of this battle is staggering.

  The battle of STALINGRAD was the correct definition of TRUE HELL ON EARTH. I thought GALIPOLI battle in WWI was bad but this one was 100 times worse.

  This is what used to play on the history channel not the drivel they have today.

  The intro music gets me so pumped. I have to listen to it at least 2-3x before I start watching.

  Twenty years later we&apos;re left with documentaries half the worth of this one in terms of insight and detail, despite access to more previously classified archives and better editing techniques.<br><br>Entertainment over education, reflecting the dynamics in our social values.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAsXB73TXSc&amp;t=6042">1:40:42</a> My late grandfather was one of these artillery men, commanding a battery of Howitzers. &nbsp;He went from Stalingrad all the way to Berlin. He died 10 years ago.

  I am not aware of any war series that is as informative or better than this one. &nbsp;Truly a magnificent series.

  I remember watching this show way back in 1994. &nbsp;I&apos;m so happy it can still out there, I feel like a little kid again.
