The Brotherhood of war may well know no borders, but this story seems to :(

Well that's annoying and it's really too big to post on the forums

Gotta love censorship ...

Can we have an abstract then?

I got the rejection message for being in the EU, switched on my VPN and connected to a USA server and it served the article.

I use Proton VPN - it has a free subscription mode, which I use on occasion for these sorts of things.

"German army veteran of World War II remembers the Eastern Front and his years as a POW in Soviet camps"

It was published in 2016 so I have no idea why this might be blocked for EU viewers. I stumbled across it looking for game info and though some may be interested as a curiosity. I didn't expect it to turn into an issue.

Try googling "Walter Warda"

I see it is here as well

It's actually a video that had been transcribed by Mccalls

I installed and tried this out and it is brilliant. I use Info Sniper to check ISP address and when I switch using Proton then load Info Sniper I am shown where it thinks I am in any country I choose. I too have found things like TV programs etc that might be only available to a US resident are blocked to me as a Canadian but I just switched and checked Info Sniper and first I was reported being in Chicago...... Then I change to New Jersey...... then Manassas, Now I'm in Singapore..

There is a 7 day trial then I think you are restricted to only three nation choices

3 nations on some busy servers, and slower.

But for a quick read of some article it is fine for me.

They also do protonmail, which is good for doing a disposable web mail for registering with say price comparison sites, to get all the subsequent spam etc. without say Google reading your mail as they do if you register a disposable gmail account.

Thanks for this! It is very easy to use and configure - and seems to do exactly what I need.

According to the blurb, they are located in Switzerland so have better data protection laws, if someone wants to snoop on you. And so they do not sell your browsing data to spammers, etc. like some "free" vpn services do.
