There really is no let up on Teutoburgiana at the moment. As ever all of the articles are in German, but the google translation tool does a serviceable job.
A piece in Weltonline. "Wie der Offizier Arminius zum Verräter wurde" by Berthold Seewald is the best, here. There is a different version of the article in the same paper here :
Perhaps more interesting is to see the number of exhibitions springing up in other Roman sites in Germany. HNA Online has a piece about Römerlager Hedemünden; while Main Post has details of Roman Marktbreit at the Museum Malerwinkelhaus.
Coincidentally, Hedemüden is not too far away from the recently discovered 3rd century "battlefield."

I've seen that documentary when it aired on Arte. It was pretty terrible, imho, portaying Arminius as some sort of German Braveheart.
Irene, Göttingen (where I live) is in the middle of both, Hedemünden some 25 minutes drive south, Kalefeld the same north. :)
