Stalingrad

[Mr E]

Sorry, but I've just got around to watching this.

It's astonishingly good. Horrific, and really unpleasent, but excellent.

I'm still collecting my thoughts.

The primary one being "my word, people can be incredibly shitty to one another...."

Seen Schindler's List?

Yup.

And the film is just a glimpse of the true horror of that battle.

Read the book "Stalingrad" by Anthony Beevor, it is astonishing.

Fantastically well written too, a real page turner.

Mankind can truly descend into hell when it chooses. We are a species capable of unimaginable horrors.

Scary, isn't it.

I'm now going upstairs to play some seriously uplifing stuff. All of it probably written on drugs, as it happens.

Draw your own conclusions.
