Hello Feldgrauans

Just found out about an upcoming 2008 film on partisans in Belarus during World War 2 starring Daniel Craig

I think the comments posted on that BBC page are quite illuminating. Until recently, one would not have seen such comments allowed through the "filter" on a mainstream British media webpage. Mind you, it seems reckless to have one's name attached to such comments all the same. And the editor of that page is taking quite a risk. It is, as they say, a highly sensitive subject. But people in general are slowly adopting a more objective view of the period in question.
