Alech Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I just saw the German movie "Stalingrad" for the second time (first time was 10 years ago), and it got me thinking, how "real" is it? -Alech PS: Posted this by mistake in the CMOB forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucho Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 If you want to see another German made movie about Stalingrad, search for "Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?" "Stalingrad" itself is good, but it depends on the individual taste of every different one. Karl Vilsmayers intention was to provoke discussions, therefore this movie has pathetic or comradeship glorification, but also very realistic parts. It is more a play around some main characters (the leutnant, Schäfer,...). I do not know yet, if and what sources were used. This film uses every aspect of war on the eastern front (assault, attrition, sewer, death, POWs, massaker on civilians,...). The part with the captured russian Tanya seems more unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
