Nobody there asks Nazi officers what they thought about this and what was their theory why they should built concentration camps etc. Why the same rules do not apply for Easter Europe and communism? It is just hard to digest as many things, because Germany was defeated, but Russia - not yet, and the winner takes it all.

This post makes me wonder if any documentary can truly be impartial. "Berkeley in the 60s" certainly didn't take the side of HUAC, now that I think of it. I wonder what surviving confederates would have thought of Ken Burns' "The Civil War." And I have yet to see an American documentary on the Revolution told from the British side, though I am sure one exists. Luarvik, I think the minister of education ruled out using it in schools.

Have been looking for it online, can't seem to locate it anywhere. There is talk of adding it to national curriculum for all (I assume) high school students in Estonia, including Russian language schools. I think they should.
