Real ear is a rare thing...
Hitting CC only results in a red exclamation mark - still no subtitles.
Liberation (1971) - Focuses mainly on the Battle of Kursk is another great war movie.
An initial glance makes it seem like this one is worth watching, although the part I grazed through, with a Soviet attack, did make it seem like it suffers from “Nazi Banzai Syndrome”.
For the most part, the Germans in these movies, and in SPR as well, get the horde treatment, when part of the reality of what made them so dangerous is how good they were at the infantry tactics game.
Ear is Hell.
What is this?
I am amazed to see this piece of BOLSHEVIK RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA in FR.
The boldness and endurance of Russian People? What a joke!
If it was not by the help you Americans gave to those communists, they would be history by now, and I do believe the world would be much better.
You Americans helped the commies in Russia, just as you are helping the Chicoms, and that will hunt you back, for this people are the REAL ENEMY.
Give a look at Enemy at the gates - And learn Americans, how the Politk Commissars and Nikita Krushev dealt with the brave bolshevik soldiers...
Some things must be said, Russians and Chinese are SCUM BAGS!
Wana see some REAL BRAVERY, RESISTANCE AND ENDURANCE?
Go see DEFIANCE to see real heroes, Belorussia's Jews fighting for their lives...
“Sir, my face is up here...”
DEFIANCE is great war movie! I liked it so much.
But, “Brest Fortress” is the best.
There would be NO life under Hitler.
Much people do not know, but Slavs were also marked for extermination as Jews.
Without question, the average Soviet soldier was fighting for Mother Russia.
BTW.
Russians saved Europe in WWII.
Aorry to say, but their war against Hitler WAS that WWII.
Not Anzio or Normandy.
Just to say- Battle of the Bulge was weekly event on the Eastern front.....
I got it
Russians also started the war when they signed the Non-Aggression pact with Hitler, never forget that.
He didn't know Russian either, but their stuff wasn't available at the time anyway.
He mentioned that the Germans did nothing noble on the Eastern front then he detailed it. One item was that the Germans knocked down 60% of all standing structures in Russia.
In a state (Indiana) with a 43.8% average German origin background, these were among the things no one wanted to know about.
Again, Russia was too big for any European to imagine. The Russians escaped to the Urals and fought the war from there ~ and from Louisville, Indianapolis, Gary, Hammond, East Chicago, Detroit, Fort Wayne, .......
WWII was a really serious war.
The Non-Aggression Pact was signed because both thought they’d get the better end of the deal, it didn’t work out like Hitler and Stalin thought it would.
Hitler expected the Non-Aggression Pact would make Britain and France back off on their threats to go to war if Germany invaded Poland.
Stalin, expected the war to be in the West, and to be long and disastrous for Britain, France and Germany, which would allow the Soviet Union to come from the East and take all of Europe with the other armies depleted. Stalin didn’t count on France falling so soon, and ultimately the US getting involved in the war.
There are parts of it on islands.
This thing is quite large.
Check out a South Korean film called: Tae Guk Gi: (The Brotherhood of War)- one of the best war movies ever. It is up there with Saving Private Ryan and the like.
