A masterful ballad dedicated to the Great yet Unknown Patriotic War.
Who but Al Steward could write such provocative lyrics about Smolensk, Guderian or Stalingrad? - Urrah Pobieda!

The video squats out on me.

I love the line, "In the footsteps of Napoleon, the shadowed figures stagger through the winter."

Al Stewart , in my opinion ,is one of the greatest balladeers of our time. He is really underrated.

Incredible story in lyrics, mesmerizing ballad. Could listen to this over and over.

ugh this live version is fucking horrible. I love the studio version but this is crap. A lot of the pauses are gone and this feels so wrong. it feels like he is just reading lyrics and is devoid of emotion. WTF. Let us have the Red Orchestra video back, JERKS.

This was the first Al song that I took to. I had bought Year Of The Cat and couldn't get into it. Then I found by accident,Past,Present & Future. I could not take it off my turntable!!! that was 1977,I've been sold on Al since
Listen to the music... lose the political debate!

The wonderful distinction I like to enjoy, is that during the 60's and on through the years to follow, with all of the music that was coming out, and the rock 'n' roll of it all - There were two distinct and unique writers and singers who stood out from "the pack"
from all the others - Ian Anderson ( Jethro Tull ) and Al Stewart !
I always felt I had acquired knowledge and historical revelations that enriched me by my absorbing their literary content !
