I am looking for some good documentaries on the battle[s] on the Seelow heights and its surrounding areas. Can anyone please tell me if anyone has made any documentaries for this time of WWII??

Seen a progam on the Uk history/discovery channels ect called battlefield and this is covered in the series,
just reading a book about a young 17 year old who was given 2 weeks training and sent into the battle there before being withdrawn and sent into the defence of Berlin.
currently at work at the mo if you can wait until I get home I can give you the book's ISBN No and title along with another one I have on the subject ...also I'd pick up Antony Beevor's book called Berlin, as the battle for Seelow is covered at the beginning of the book
