What is the Russian translation for this? It would be nice to include it.

Done.

- I hope someone knows the answer to this. What is the Russian attitude to the rest of WW2? Would a Russian historian consider the Battle of Normandy to be part of the Great Patriotic War? Or is there a separate name for the rest of the conflict? DJ Clayworth 15:05, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * No. The Great Patriotic War is another name for the Russo-German War.  It doesn't cover things like the War in the Pacific or the North African Campaign etc. Oberiko 17:22, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't one of these redirect to the other? DJ Clayworth 17:27, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Yup, I'm not sure which way to go though. The Great Patriotic War is more commonly known, but the Russo-German War is more of the universal name for the conflict (especially outside of Russia at the time). Oberiko 02:47, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure it's that important. I'm personally more familiar with Great Patriotic War. As long as both names are mentioned very early in the article I don't think it will matter much. DJ Clayworth 14:13, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Alright, I'll copy the new info here and redirect to the other page (the Russo-German War will fit easier with a listing of campaigns and theatres of WWII.) Oberiko 14:40, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm considering the reintroduction of the short article here. For reasons see: Talk:Eastern Front (WWII). [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 23:37, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
