why worry about others dude? You should feel awesome and privileged to be one of the lucky ones. Besides, I've loved Al from way before your age, so plenty out there.
I heard that song once a million years ago; once, but I got it or most of it. I've been looking for it ever since and found it tonight. I'll play it over and over. My father was in the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) ground crew during WWII in the Soviet invasion and surrendered to the US Army. My grandfather was a civilian German scientist and forced to labor in the Soviet Union for five years after the war. I was born in Germany. We went to Canada. I was a Cold War American Soldier in Germany along the Fulda Gap in 1976-'78 and served 37 years in a couple of wars, now 62 y.o. and a grandfather, cop, barber etc. War is cruel and evil waste of resources and lives.
Excellent blend of lyrics and musical emotional sounds. Gifted musical/lyrical rendition. The sadness, despair, war hell, and endless futility while each and every soldier and families are dragged through the brutal violençe and wreckage.
just goes to show how intelligent al stewart is. this is basically a song detailing the entirety of the World War Two Russian campaign of the germans, via the eyes of a Russian soldier.

What a GREAT song. Al Stewart is a genuine student of history.
Being 16 and knowing of Al Stewart's existence sucks because others won't enjoy this beautiful piece of music.

I love this song
a very underrated singer song writer who has written some of the best songs ever .

Probably my favourite Al song!!
One of the best, I really like him...
Remember when music was made by true artists with more to give than some one hit wonder computer generated fashion show junk

Who is accompanying him here?
you can only write something like this unless you were there
Isn't it the back story to Solzenitzensyn's character Ivan Denisovich who fights for Russia and then gets thrown into a gulag by Stalin?
the only pop song I know of about the gulag.
Others as in my peers
Happy 69th to Al :)
Those Ovations sound horrible.
cult classics
