I know a few here are watching Chernobyl as well, having been pre-teen when it happened, I dont recall much and havent read much about it.
So unsure how much is embellished for TV, not to mention I e.xpect the Russians officials wont have been overly co-operative.
Worth watching though.

I would stoked if they made a miniseries of the German version. This one looks decent though.
You guys may be thinking of the Forgotten Soldier? Brilliant book about half Frenchie on the Eastern Front. That Dutch director who made Total Recall (veerhoven?) was talking about making a film about that, but it was years ago. The Finnish theatre of war was pretty amazing. The Winter War is a good film and I'd love to see this latest one. The stuff the Finns did in WW2 was absolutely incredible. Tough as fecking nails.

Episode 3 was tough to watch, the make up etc is unreal for the radiation victims
How it ended at the burial was brilliantly done too -

finale of Big Bang Theory...going out on a high, reckon they still had a couple more seasons in them as I they still got laughs out of me every episode.
Up there with Friends as a fave sit-com for me.
fuck. no TR, what have you done? We were boys
but now? I think you are dead to me. dead.
I didn't think blokes who say they're straight liked friends. How bout that.
I grew to hate it immensely due to an extremely annoying female flatmate raving about it. That and the fact that apart from Joey and Chandler ( every now and again ) none of the main characters were remotely funny and in Ross and Phoebes case extremely punchable.
Yep. I was big time into British comedies at the time and the gulf between them and sitcom crap like Friends was enormous. I never watched it properly until I moved in with my girlfriend. Some of the Chandler-Joey interaction was funny, but the others simply weren't funny and frankly deserved to be lined up again the wall.

That’s the one. There’s some doubt about if all true or not, cracking read though.
The Finns in the continuation war did amazing things , gets a bit complicated with the Nazi involvement though

Yeah, always feel a bit sorry for the Fins. They really had no option but to align themselves with the Nazis even though they weren't really "on their side".

The Germans tried to give iron crosses to three Finnish Jews who fought alongside them .
It got really messy at the end when the Germans had to evacuate after the Finns were given a deadline to join the allies too. Really interesting part of the war . -

In retrospect my post was a bit rough. Both parties were moving quickly and tensions were high.
I’m no better than some feral on stuff.co.nz having a go at police for not taking an “easy” shot to the leg instead of shooting to kill

Damn, folding like a cheap suit! Next you'll be claiming the characters in The Walking Dead are all highly intelligent, practical, non stupid, zombie killing machines.

Yeah, talk about a rock and a hard place. Hitler or Stalin. At least Hitler was willing to leave them alone, while Stalin wanted their territory and a puppet government. They played it pretty well. They protected their Jews and refused to advance beyond East Karelia. It was at a huge cost though. 60,000 odd thousand I think, which is massive for such a small country. Also lost their second biggest city. But they took out a lot more Russians and were able to avoid Russian occupation. That's pretty damn impressive.

Continuation War is when they resumed hostilies against the Russians after the Winter War. Obviously prompted by the German invasion. Lapland War was when they kicked out the Germans.

Several thousand, including many Norwegians and even Hungarians (because of the linguistic connection I guess). What's weird is that during the Winter War the Allies were preparing plans to assist the Finns against the Russians by invading the north of Norway. Norway were shit scared of the Germans and didn't want to let them in. Could have had a major outcome on the war if the whole thing had gone ahead.

Churchill goaded Germany into invading Norway that way . It cost the poms an aircraft carrier when they did turn up though.
The allies gave the Finns some obsolete stuff like Gloster Gladiators and Brewster buffalos that they took the armour out of and tore the Russians a new one with .This is a cracking read, I had no idea that Churchill was actually seriously expecting a nuclear strike on the uk for a couple of years due to the Nazis having Norwegian heavy water.

Should also be mentioned that the Winter War is the origin of the Molotov Cocktail. Molotov being the Soviet Foreign Minister at the time.
