I just finished watching Winds of War, and War and Remembrance

War and Remembrance includes the story of von Stauffenberg.

I really like the Winds of War, and War and Remembrance because it doesn't have any of the "patina" of the old days. pretty much shows it how it was, cinematically i mean. The series was filmed in the 80s in easter block countries who has seen no major changes to the cityscapes since the 40s. and the Auschwitz scenes were filmed in Auschwitz.

I'm really looking forward to Valkyrie, but I hope they do it well.
War and Remembrance does a wonderful job of explaining the plot, and Rommel's involvement.. or lack their of, and his subsequent death. It will be sad if Hollywood couldn't tell the story as well as a Mini-Series form the 1980s.
