Clearchannel show- Battlefiled recovery


Recommended Posts

Watched the 4 episodes of this on Netlfix, set in Latvia , 4 amateurs excavate German and Soviet battlefield sites from the front that eventually resulted in the Kurland pocket. It's not really archeology in the true sense of the word, However

 

I learned a lot about that part of the war I didn't know, especially in episode 4, ( and maybe a lot of people didn't know ) About the killing of German settlers in reprisal attacks. however, this scathing article and it's criticisms are also true.

Anyone else see this, what do you think or feel about the show?

I watched this a few months back, and felt a bit uneasy about it but found it interesting all the same. In retrospect though I think that article is spot on! Hopefully we wont see another series...
