John Kettler Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 All I'd ever seen before were stunning clips and VO in Czech. Thanks to English subtitles and the full film, here's your chance to follow a Czech Tank Brigade in action. There is a wealth of German hardware in this film, some of which will leave you stunned. The Czech's gear is that of the Red Army from Operation Bagration on, and here's an opportunity to see for real what we've talked about for years.

Marwek77 aka Red Reporter Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Its Czechoslovak tank brigade. Tank commander clearly says at 21:20 "Direction Czechoslovakia! At 22:00 they enter borders to Slovakia, symbol on the table is the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic which consists of a red (gules) shield, in early Gothic style, charged with a silver (argent) double cross standing on the middle peak of a dark blue mountain consisting of three peaks. Once we were two nations united in one state - Czechoslovakia." Name on the burning tank hit by panzerfaust is Jánošík - national hero, similar to Robin Hood. At 23:00 there is Czechoslovak flag on the wooden church. After break of Czechoslovakia this is now known as Czech flag. My favorite movie from childhood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
