USSR and Russia has made more ww2 than the rest of the world combined. You should try to watch some others too;)

This old movie?54 year?

I was looking for a comment about this! Particularly Stalin and Zhukov look absolutely perfect - in Stalin’s introduction I actually did a double take, he looked so close to the photos.

Zhukov actually played himself 😅 The similarity is astounding

Not just them, but marshals and even generals look very alike

I mist watched a two part russian film on stalingrad… just remarkable. Stalin and Hitler actors were spot on

totally disagree with you churches walking around all the time with a cigar stuck in his mouth and even his statements are fack and totally irrelevant they made him sound as defeatest very stupid

44:23 shadow of a helicopter on the right

The problem is sometimes there's t60s and t34s on the German side it's freaking confusing

@@dylanubas6796 This is a feature film, not a documentary. The main thing is the symbol of the German tank

@@dylanubas6796 "freaking confusing " - but it does not confuse you that historical figures in the cinema are played by actors, and not by the personalities themselves. Marshal Zhukov was played by an actor in the film, and not by Zhukov himself.🙂

@@dylanubas6796 pretty sure those are IS-3s and IS-4s, remember that this was shot in 1970, where T-62 and T-64 tanks are still in service

@@dylanubas6796 to be fair both sides left a lot of throphies to each other so it isn't entirely impossible

Hollywood sucks

I agree on one thing, I hate how Hollywood allows so much cussing and profanity continuously! I hate that!! You can’t watch with your family like your parents, because my parents didn’t curse and I don’t either! So we never watched together even though we’re all adults!

Hollywood under control bankers [Fed.Res.System] It is beneficial for them to turn the citizens of the United States and Western Europe against the Russians. John Kennedy tried to say about these animals bankers. He tried stop «cold war» and stop war in Vietnam.. But they were ahead..

Indeed. Even the actor playing Hitler nails the Austro=Bavarian accent quite convincingly.

Ja...Goebbels sein gesehen.

Let's conclude that Russian movie industry has quality?

I've loved Russian ww2 film now for nearly 30yrs..tracked down as many as I could..as people are saying in the comments, the period detail right down to the haircuts is spot on..and the point about not all German generals giving the nazi salute is absolutely right..some of the older men who had fought in ww2 loathed Himmler's SS and were a lot more honourable than their nazi counterparts..my favourite Russian ww2 film has to be 'Fortress of war'..if you have not yet seen it you are in for a treat!

Вы откуда?

Quite strange they did not use the traditional Katyusha sound, isn't it ? I am 65 ... I must detract points for that ...

@@pierredecine1936 perhaps they ran out of Katushya sounds . Everything is in short supply now .

@@samsum3738 True - esp. good sense !

He was a German actor. The German command was played by german actors, Italians played by Romanians.

It was.

The USSR was a Union of multiple nations, it wasn't just Russians, but many other union and autonomous republics!

@@Petey0707 The more movies i watch the more i understand. Not taught in our schools. One movie I watched was about Bellarusia, to me these were states belonging to the Union? And they fought as a group against the nazis? And do you share a common language?

@@billearnshaw1074 Belarus, Ukraine, and the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia) were all independent nations prior to becoming part of the USSR, and they are again today. Although these countries (at the time parts of the Union, some unwillingly) were mostly overwhelmed during the initial Nazi offensives, millions of people from them still fought in the Red Army bravely. Belarusians do speak Russian, but they also speak Belarusian, which has elements of both Russian and Ukrainian, while the other countries have their own languages.

@@broksholk4771 Thank you, beginning to get some grasp of how the area was and is now. From your personal experience do you think Nato is harming these small countries independence or helping? And do you think Putin is trying to take these countries back?

@@billearnshaw1074 I can’t make a definitive statement on that, as I’m not from the region - but from what I understand, NATO is something of a mixed bag in the area. Belarus in particular is much more aligned with Russia, to the point that some have been referring to it as a Russian puppet state. I’m not certain if that’s accurate or not, but I do believe that the current leader of Belarus is something of a would-be dictator. The Baltic states, on the other hand, are all NATO members, although this is primarily due to fears of Russian aggression, which are somewhat tangible. Ukraine is another story, as Russian revanchism is certainly most directed toward this country, as it was probably the most prized region of the USSR - Ukraine is highly populated and a huge food producer, and also has untapped oil wells offshore. It’s not a NATO member, although it has drawn much closer to the alliance in recent years. Russia actually already holds quite a bit of Ukrainian territory today. In 2014, Ukraine was in the midst of a revolution, and Russia took this opportunity to “indirectly” invade parts of the country - specifically the Crimea, which is a peninsula on the Black Sea in the southernmost part of the country. Russia annexed this region after a likely rigged referendum, and also heavily aided pro-Russian rebel forces in the east of the country. The state of the region today is definitely looking precarious for Ukraine in particular, as considering their close ties to Belarus and occupation of Crimea Russia essentially surrounds Ukraine on three sides. Whether or not Putin would actually pull the trigger on a full invasion, I really can’t say - in the past his modus operandi has favored backing “independent” pro-Russian forces in other nations rather than declaring full scale war, but Russia has also mobilized quite a lot of troops to the Ukrainian border, and that costs a lot of money to do, so there’s probably a reason. It could just be posturing, but in my personal opinion the situation seems pretty volatile. NATO’s been building up some forces in the region, which could either defuse or escalate the crisis, it’s honestly hard to say; Russia’s foreign policy is largely based around being unpredictable, so that their rivals can’t prepare as easily to counter their next move.

It was literally a response to "The longest day" as soviet politicians felt that moive was a erasure of the soviet effort to defeat hitler

If only they masked those damn T-55s that apear in several scenes (they could have made mockup pz.IVs on their chassis,like they converted those T-34s into Tigers) of the battle,it would have been almost perfect.Also,I have an impression that it would have been more fitting if they actually placed first 5th GTA arriving then showing climactic tank battle on the 12th,but still showing that Germans couldn't go any further.Instead we got Katukov's 1st TA fighting rearguard battle on the 11th.

It's like The Longest Day and The Battle of the Bulge combined - defensive and offensive operations in one movie!

@@kaletovhangar And what's so surprising about that? Watch American movies of that time with Soviet military equipment. The situation is even worse.

@Jens Nobel (That a captured NKVD commissar could instill fear or trust and hope in the captured Red Army men?) English Wikipedia address "Commissar Order" The Commissar Order (German: Kommissarbefehl) was an order issued by the German High Command (OKW) on 6 June 1941 before Operation Barbarossa. Its official name was Guidelines for the Treatment of Political Commissars (Richtlinien für die Behandlung politischer Kommissare). It instructed the Wehrmacht that any Soviet political commissar identified among captured troops be summarily executed as a purported enforcer of the "Judeo-Bolshevism" ideology in military forces.

Agreed!

Да, в масштабных военных съёмках участвовали несколько батальонов регулярных войск Советской Армии , а консультанты и сам режиссер ветераны Великой Отечественной Войны 1941-1945 года .

Благодарю вас ❤

A little wrong. )) In reality, many "German" tanks in mass scenes are modern, only sheathed with plywood and painted. It makes no sense to keep so many real tanks of that time. If you look closely, you can even sometimes see undisguised modern tanks in the massive battle scenes. )) We must remember that these are real shots, not computer graphics. In addition, in reality, very few early T-34s remained, because their production was discontinued during the war years, and replaced by the T-34-85, and no one tried to save them. Therefore, very often we can see the T-34-85 even in films about 1941-42-43 (we see them here too), although their mass production and entry into the troops began later than the Battle of Kursk. Because these tanks simply remained in good quantities, and the early T-34s did not. And disguising other tanks as early T-34s is impossible because it had a smaller turret.

a lot of modern russian movies have either mock ups or repro tanks. Cant remember the company if it even is one but they were building a bunch of pz iii and iv's

Not many is my guess.

outside for sure as they had the chance to do so before they blew them up.. hard to get into them in modern times, we have friends who do their best to do so and do their best to find the truth from the history... preferably with out taking sides and any propaganda

recommend Wite tiger, with elements philosophy, 28 panfilovs men. all films with English sub. I also like the dialogue series “Seventeen Moments of Spring” about a Russian intelligence officer embedded in the highest echelons of the Third Reich. The characters of the Germans are erudite, cultural...

Под другим углом? У правды нет углов. 80% всех своих войск Германия потеряла на советском фронте. Вам это о чём-то говорит?

Its them for real... They are still Alive with the help of alien technology 🤣

@@ArneK-ur9nc Clones. 😂

@@ual737ret 🤣🤣🤣

Mikhail Ulyanov,the actor of Georgy Zhukov also played him in other dozen or so Soviet movies.

Me too. They are really good. People fail to realize just how many Russians died during WWII.

​@Irene Bryant not only Russians lost their lives in the war. Also Ukrainians, Belarusian, Caucasians and the nations of Central Asia and Far East

My phone was glitching. Accidently sent them 3 instead of 1

"despite the obvious historical inaccuracies" In wide shots I see a lot of Soviet T-54 posing as German T-IV 😀

General Schimdt of the Totenkopf did actually commit suicide, just not at the end of Kursk but less than a month later, during the Soviet counterstrike at Belgorod.

@@sbelobaba at least they tried to disguise them. Most of American productions from that time would take a Chaffee of Patton, paint them the kreutz and they woul be ready to go.

What's wrong with those two movies?

@@caseyloveless3979 for one thing , as already explained, they are far more propagandist and far less realistic, than these movies.

Not superior but definitely way up there.

Hii

Vastly superior maybe a few Hollywood offering approach these foreign movies but not many

Hollywood would never do this historically correct, in depth and quality of movie.

Idk dude they seem like any old war movie about WW2

dude those are t-34's mocked up to look like tigers good job cause they more or less look like that t-34 tiger from saving private ryan in the background you can see IS-3's playing german tanks

@@ryszakowy dude there are only a handfull of tigers worldwide.... 😋

If you guys are tank experts, I'm not saying anything. But it could very well be that the Red Army had many captured tanks. Just like the German army was using captured T34

@@ArneK-ur9nc One, to be precise.

Not to mention is-6 tanks in a the background in one scene

Absolutely...and to think the threat rages on...

(Almost choked on my tea) This rotten scoundrel can only shoot trash. I'm telling you this as a Russian.

NOOOOOO, NOT HIM, PLEASE! Bondarchuk Jr. is worst director in the world! He is memetic in Russia for his terrible and ridiculous “films”. Fyodor doesn’t deserve to have surname Bondarchuk!

yes right
