+Piecemeal 450 Posted September 17, 2008 I just watched this FANTASTIC German made 'What-If' feature length documentary, depicting a scenario of the Warsaw Pact invading West Germany in 1990. For anyone who's interested in alternative history or playing a lot of WOE I'd highly recommend it. One question for our German friends; does anyone know of subtitled or voice-over version of this? Although I really enjoyed it and couls make out what was happening by watching it, I was a bit confused by interviews with 'politicians' and others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+wilco 11 Posted September 17, 2008 Nice find! However, I don't think that there are English versions of these documentaries around, since the ZDF is a public network that is financed by fees (<- this is a link) and therefore does not need to sell anything to anyone...

Shame about that. Still, even watching it was absolutely brilliant. Makes you wonder though, I'm really surprised Hollywood hasn't taken a story like this onboard. It would make a FANTASTIC blockbuster. Take note, Mr. Spielberg! In the meantime, here's another brilliant Docu-drama made by the BBC in the eighties. It's called 'Threads': Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toonces 4 Posted September 18, 2008 Yeah, I just watched 'Threads' last week. Be careful with that one. It's a great movie, but it is awfully graphic. I mean, it doesn't pull any punches with respect to the horror of a nuclear war. A good movie, but it's not something to watch if you expect to be in a good mood afterwards.

+Piecemeal 450 Posted September 18, 2008 Just checked out amazon.co.uk but they don't seem to have it in stock on DVD.....BAAAAAAAAAHH!!! Must check out some other websites. Does anyone know of any German websites where it can be obtained on DVD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironroad 218 Posted September 19, 2008 Good find, a lot of this footage is similar the Documentary First Strike and The Day After, which can be found on youtube. Both show a USAF SAC response to a Russian attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
