I have also organised – along with Tim Gow - the annual conference (COW – Conference of Wargamers) for the past ten years. I was a founder member of WARGAME DEVELOPMENTS and have been the treasurer and membership secretary ever since. My first 20mm figures were the good old Airfix Guards Infantry and Band (in shocking pink!), soon followed by others as they were released, and by 1968, when I bought my first metal Hinton Hunt 20mm figures, I had a large collection of World War II figures, tanks, guns, and aircraft. The first wargames book I bought was CHARGE! (although I had taken out Donald Featherstone's WAR GAMES book beforehand ). One of the first toys that I was bought was a wooden fort that was garrisoned by assorted lead soldiers. I have been wargaming for as long as I can remember.

The battle scenes are amongst some of the best I have watched, and the attention to detail is superb. The events it portrays took place between July and November 1944, and include the Battle of Tannenberg Line (25th July to 10th August 1944) and the Battle of Tehumardi in Sõrve Peninsula (October to November 1944). In both segments it examines the reasons why the soldiers chose – or felt forced to – fight for one side rather than the other.
The latter was renamed the 41st Guards Estonian Tallinn Rifle Corps in June 1945. The film is interesting in that it begins by telling the story of members of 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian) ( 20.Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (estnische Nr.1)), and then switches over to the 8th Estonian Rifle Corps of the Soviet Red Army. The latest one that I found on sale for £3.00 in ASDA is entitled 1944: FORCED TO FIGHT, and was made in Estonia. The number of war films set in the twentieth century and produced by the countries of Eastern Europe continues to rise.
