"An expertly crafted epic war movie"
Los Angeles Times

These are just a few of the short explanations to describe this powerful movie. Released in 1993, it is in my view the finest movie dealing with the epic struggle of life and death on the steppes of the Volga River. From that hot summer to the frozen winter that lay ahead two vast armies clashed among the ruins of a shattered city. Stalin and Hitler refused to yield an inch and used men as pawns in a clash of egos.

From the same producers who brought us "Das Boot" in 1981, "Stalingrad" is indeed another powerful movie dealing with the misery and the suffering but mostly the hopelessness of the average Wehrmacht soldier. The scenery is excellant and the acting top notched.

Released 1993, Not Rated, Stereo, Color, either in German with subtitles or dubbed in English, Letterbox available, running time 150 minutes. Rating choice 4 bayonets.

Available from Amazon.com [w/English subtitles] or [dubbed in English] or [DVD]
