One of the best WW2 movie, no political propaganda, just shows the grit and horror of war and the true who suffers : ordinary men,women and children.

[@schmidthj99]

i agree. but i think it is more than just a classic anti war movie. it shows how nazi germany believed in their superior race idioligy. and even more in their military superiority. convinced by previous victories battles in Europe and the succesful blitzkrieg tactics against russia in the beginning of the invasion- they felt undefeatable. but this started to change in winter 1942 and resulted in the official turn around of WW2 with the first great german defeat in stalingrad.

[@airborngrmp1]

I've thought the symbolism of the movie incredibly poignant since I first saw it. We witness these boys as first their comfort/civility dies, then their innocence, then their hope, then themselves. All perish, one by one, without any clear meaning or reason, in the bleak snows of Russia.

Great movie, but there are many mistakes in this video. Also, Romanians were a member of the Axis, they didn't encircle Stalingrad with the Soviets....they were on the southern flank of the 6th Army in Stalingrad, and the Soviets attacked the Romanians hard as they had already managed to gain a bridgehead across the Volga from them. They were not as well equipped or supplied as the Germans were, plus the Germans did not send the assistance required in order to push back to the banks of the Volga as the lines were already spread too thin.

Stalingrad (1993). It’s on KZbin.

[@isaakellson7113]

In my opinion this was a German version of platoon I mean platoon portrayed American troops in Vietnam and how American troops did not understand the aim of the Vietnam war anymore and the director was a vet who served in Vietnam this film dose a similar job from a German point of view of the battle of Stalingrad in 1942 that portrays the Germans as just regular soldiers who did not understand the aim on the eastern front and in the end a lot of them died from frostbite this film also dose not shy away from German war crimes on the civilian population but the Russians are probably not innocent in doing that to

[@WheelsRCool]

German soldiers fully understood the aim of that war.

[@isaakellson7113]

@@WheelsRCool not near the end they didn't how would you feel if you had lost a battle and were forced to retreat while half your comrades died from frostbite

[@WheelsRCool]

@@isaakellson7113 Near the end they fully understood it as well. Understanding it doesn't mean they can't also feel bad while their comrades die and they retreat.

@@WheelsRCool yeah but the Nazis were led by an evil ideology so I think ignorance was another reason they lost the and there are plenty of other reasons but if you talk to a German former whermact soldier there probably gonna say we were brainwashed by propaganda a lot of the hardcore nazis fought in the battle for Berlin like the SS ironically the last SS division was a french division but the true nazis were the SS they fought like the Japanese in the pacific even thou that was a different filed of war

[@WheelsRCool]

@@isaakellson7113 The SS were the most hardcore, but pretty much all the German military understood from the get-go that it was a war of annihilation against the Jewish people (which the Germans perceived as pretty much everyone to the East). Adherence to the laws of war were formally removed on the behavior of the German military and soldiers were encouraged to rape and pillage as it was seen as revenge for the supposed evils of the Jews. Pretty much all Germans at the time adhered to views that at a very minimum would be considered racist by today's standards. The idea that it was only the SS who were the racists or that it was all just due to brainwashing is not true.

Interesting that the intro commercial was VW

[@marcinkawka2089]

In 6:24 you say that gemans are surrounded by russians, romanians and others, but romanians were on german side.

[@mito88]

I was going to point that out. if I may add, the romanians and Italians were defending a line which the red army chose to break through as part of the pincer movement that encircled stalingrad. .

[@dennisdennis7347]

It was quite the opposite regarding history facts. had germany not invaded russia . germany would have won the war. The rus broke the german military

[@volheim2684]

Nah Japan is what really fucked up the germans

[@tstico575]

I love history so thanks for this vid

[@volheim2684]

Btw just in case you get any ideas those are not “hitlers elite” those are combat engineers or infantry

6:59 the thumbnail (they saturated it more on thumbnail)

[@matthews1082]

No, the Romanians were on the German 6th Army flanks and they collapsed under the Soviet counter-offensive, they were German allies.

[@shotcall1]

Nonsense! This was a great and amazing movie but you have to know what your watching review it...the Romanians fought as allies of the Germans, not against them. Maybe just a typo but several other mistakes. This movie deserves a lot of credit.

[@TheKing-mk3hk]

I think we knew that it was true that the Germans had an offensive against the soviets.

@ 5.45 no, no, no, no Where did IED come from? the term IED came into common usage during the Iraq War that began in 2003. IEDs consist of a variety of components that include an initiator, switch, main charge, power source, and a container. Back then they called them booby traps

[@towringer]

Yes. He set off a booby trap that blew off his lower leg. His buddies got him to an overcrowded field hospital while encountering a family with young children along the way. The Germans took no action against the family. The hospital was nightmarish; they were amputating a man's leg with no anesthesia & everyone could hear his screams.

I watched this on youtube back in the day

German officers when you tell them what morals are (they’ll forever be impacted by this information)
