Stalingrad has inspired many movies, but none so sweeping and monumental as this 1949 Soviet production. More than a movie, this is a spectacular military re-enactment of the Battle of Stalingrad – supervised by the Red Army, deploying thousands of veteran troops, as well as the actual tanks, planes and ships (including captured German materiel) from the Eastern Front.

Synopsis:
1942. Picture of Josef Stalin.

Stalingrad. The greatest battle that humanity has ever known occurred in the summer of 1942 on a wide expanse of the Soviet land. It was 1942. The Soviet Union fought Hitler’s gigantic war machine one-on-one.

Stalin speaks with Comrade Vasilevsky saying: “It’s clear. They are moving towards Stalingrad.
