The shortened video is fascinating.
Some dramatic shots of military equipment on the ground and in the air.
And talk about sharp-looking troops, Russia has them. Impressive.
It all speaks to pride, pride in one of the greatest achievements in history, defeating Hitler.
But also the most costly and profoundly tragic.
What a shame the US and its most closely-captive allies cannot join in the celebration and let their people understand what happened in 1945.
I've written a good deal around Hitler's invasion of Russia. Readers may enjoy:
