Andreas Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Picked these two up a few months ago, during a visit by Mattias (anyone heard of him lately???) when I showed him my favourite cheapo bookshop in London. 1) Battle of the Volga - 1962 Soviet movie (I guess for the 20th anniversary) with US voiceover. Very interesting footage, great in use of language, really gives you a good feel of the time, although 20 years after. 2) Battle for Russia - US War Department movie from the war, to be shown in US cinemas I guess. Has the famous scene from Eisenstein's 'Alexander Nevskyi' where the Prussian knights charge on Lake Peipus at the start. Otherwise it uses all sorts of footage, not as good as 1). Since the DVDs were about a fiver (UK£) each, you really can't go wrong with them. Don't be deterred by the naff cover texts, they were certainly not written by grogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
