Dear "Major McKinley", Many thanks for this most interesting link.
Though the small print does not make it clear at first glance, the author is none less than Laurence Rees of the BBC, whose series of programmes on Auschwitz (now easily available on DVD) far surpasses anything produced by his predecessors except perhaps Lanzmann's _Shoah_ (which concentrates on the "Eastern Territories").
His choice of 16 October 1941 as "the" turning point will surprise many - especially those brought up on Hollywood pap - but it makes perfect sense.
A fascinating read ! Thank you again. A.C. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Major McKinley" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 7:16 PM To: "ChurchillChat" <[email protected]> Subject: [ChurchillChat] Re: When did the tide turn?
Here's an interesting article I read recently on the fantastic HistoryNet.com website, publishers of various history magazines. What Was the Turning Point of World War II? http://www.historynet.com/what-was-the-turning-point-of-world-war-ii.htm
