#CultureofWar - Memories of history and public debate - Tom Bower from 1981/3. Bower was able to argue his case in a BBC discussion (1995). An uncomfortable memory at a time of British national nostalgia: (1.00 hour in this link):

#CultureofWar - should Britain have saved SS men from deportation to the Soviet Union? The documentary examined the question of collaboration that had stirred public debate since Tolstoy’s publication: ‘Victims of Yalta’ (1977).

#CultureofWar - the case of Ivan the Terrible. During the years after Bower’s publication in 1981, the case of Ivan Mykolaiovych Demjanjuk turned and twisted. The balance of historical evidence indicates prosecutions should have continued.

#CultureofWar - kept watching and included a documentary about the UK Home Front. Research versus myth. Class differences in 1995 - how little has changed.
