Белый тигр/White Tiger
“Did the Tank God tell you this?”
“Yes.”
“And this god of yours, where is he?”
“In the sky, in the clouds, he’s got a throne. He sits on his throne and around him are the tanks which have perished in combat.”
“And what does he look like, this god?”
“He’s in coveralls, in a tank helmet. He’s got a ‘34, gilded. When he sits in it, the thunder peals and the lightning flashes. There, you see…”
“And he helps you in battle?”
“He helps me. I hear the tanks. All tanks talk, only no one hears them, but I hear them. And they, when the shells are flying at them, they warn me and I get out of the way of the shells. That’s how they help me. They want me to live. And they want me to burn that White Tiger.To exact vengeance.”

“Operation Barbarossa”
Written, Produced and Directed by Peter Batty
A excellent documentary about the lead up to the Second World War. Not just about battles and campaigns, but also the massive diplomatic failures that caused the war in the first place. Particularly the political maneuvers and back stabbing.
