Fantasy enthusiasts and animal documentary aficionados alike are sure to get a kick from this imaginative blend of adventure and nature special that purports to investigate the discovery of a dragon’s corpse in modern-day Romania.

A Fantasy Made Real is a speculative question which asks the question “if dragons were real creatures, how would they have worked?” Stunning CGI effects (members of the visual effects team worked previously on the Walking with Dinosaurs series and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) help make these flashbacks as realistic as possible, but what really sells the premise is the script by Hardy and Charlie Foley (with assistance from acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman), which uses real animal biology and history to present a compelling and plausible case for the existence of these mythological animals.

Interesting insider’s view of the chaos that existed in Germany’s military command structure in WWII. Multiple redundant agencies were set up to compete against each other, with the only ‘winner’ in this chaos being Hitler himself. A strong contrast to the Allied command structure, or even Stalin’s. Some of the most interesting portions were the transcriptions of actual military conferences. Fascinating stuff.
