Negative Positive
Title: Most important historical document.
Review: I believe that McNamara is wrong about what the gentlemen is describing. McNamara states that the old soldier is describing the journey to the front before the invasion of Poland. My take on it is that the old soldier is describing the move to the front through Poland and to the assembly positions for the invasion of Russia in 1941.No serious student of WWII can be without this film. Unless you know exactly where Vitebsk is and when the Germans first captured it, you won't know exactly what the old soldiers are talking about.I lived in Germany during the 1990's for several years. I met a few old German soldiers who fought in WWII. Their stories are very much like the stories told by the men in Mein Krieg.
