An excellent documentary that included interviews with soldiers from Germany, Russian and Canada. A few things that I found of interest: * Patton's troops could have taken Prague in 24 hours from where he was. Eisenhower deeply regreted his decision not to send Patton there, leaving it for the Russians. * Montgomery's troops took Denmark, but only just before the Russians got there, about only 6 hours. * The Russians took Berlin at a cost of 300,000 killed (or casualties, cannot recall which). Allied intelligence warned that the Nazis were going to make a last stand in Bavaria, near or at Hitlers "Eagle Nest". American 101st paratroopers did not need to fire a shot when they secured that area. So much for intel...!	Strommer (42)
