BobbyWoll Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 Hi guys,I once read somewhere that an SS cameraman from a war propaganda film unit,filmed several minutes while riding in the back of Wittman´s Tiger.Had anyone of you ever heard or seen anything like this?,I will be really grateful if anyone could give a clue on this. Oh! and talking of films there is a big movie project in Europe called "Enemy at the Gates" about the Stalingrad battle,it has a budget of 85 million dollars and Ed Harris may be in it. Sorry if I wrote something wrong but Im from Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 From the Internet Movie Database - "What is being described as "the most expensive film to be made in Europe" is set to begin shooting at the Potsdam-Babelsberg film studios in Berlin in January. The $85 million Enemy at the Gates (2000) stars Ed Harris, Jude Law and Joseph Fiennes in a saga about Germany's disastrous siege of Stalingrad during World War 2 in which the Germans lost 250,000 men in battle and had another 112,000 soldiers captured. French director 'Jean-Jacques Annaud' told todays' (Friday) London Daily Mirror, "I want to make this so realistic that you will think you were there."

gaffertape Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 Bobbywoll: There's an internet site that might help: http://www.mo-money.com/AFV-news The people on their discussion board seem to know just about anything regarding armour. They might be able to help you find that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 Anybody ever read Enemy At The Gates by William Craig? That book hit harder than anything I have ever read. What did you guys think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Triumph of the Will" is her most famous work, but her classic film of the 1936 Olympics invented techniques still in use today. She was a master film maker and a total babe, to boot. Tragic and fascinating life, though the association with the Nazis ended her film career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compassion Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 You really want to see a 3R produciton, see "Munchausen." A brilliantly crafted no expense spared version ofthe same story that Terry Gilliam would do in the 90's. This huge movie was made during the war and released in 43 in Germany. This baron is not ultimatly redeemable by being a nice guy, but is very much the heroic leader... Hmm... sound like anyone Gobbles might have been thinking of when he ordered it made?

sage Posted February 29, 2000 Share Posted February 29, 2000 The irony there is that the story is based off of a Yiddish fairytale. Sage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWoll Posted March 1, 2000 Author Share Posted March 1, 2000 Thank you very much NCrawler,I will download the movie from CMHQ (It could take me ages by e-mail). I hope Enemy at the gates will be realistic I was really pissed off when in Saving private Ryan a soldier shoot through the driver´s vision port of a Tiger (that by the way it was not a Tiger but a T-34 with "make-up") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeReddy Posted March 1, 2000 Share Posted March 1, 2000 Worth checking out is the 1993 German film STALINGRAD from the producer of DAS BOOT. The Los Angeles Times called it an "expertly crafted epic war movie." Other critics called it Germany's PLATOON, as it follows a platooon of SS from a rest stop in Italy to their panicked rush of the last Junkers out of the pocket (dazzling scene.) Another interesting scene features a duel between a smallish PAK gun and a trio of T-34s. Several VHS tapes were avail. on EBAY recently. I got mine @ $13.
