Stalingrad plot

"Till the last man..."

In the fall of 1942, two German soldiers make a bet while sitting on a freight train hurtling through the Russian steppe. One is Hanz Van Witzland, an idealistic young lieutenant who yearns to honor the military past of his aristocratic family. The other is Petty Officer Manfred "Rollo" Rohleder, a gritty daredevil bent on stealing the top prize, the Iron Cross. The train is on its way to Stalingrad where one of the bloodiest battles of all time is being fought...

Wow! What a movie and that for that time. I still remember how flabbergasted I was after seeing the fight between the penal battalion against the Russian tanks. What rawness and realism! The man who is crushed, the officer who is shot in half and has his last horrific moment. so realistic for a 1993 film and still a German production. Anyway, that concerns the entire film, a top production by European standards. Just as Vietnam is deeply rooted for the Americans, Stalingrad is a delicate subject for German standards.

A very realistic and probably accurate picture of the invasion of Russia, Operation Barbarrossa, and the inevitable downfall at Stalingrad. The faith, the hubris, the arrogance, and finally the camaraderie that remains. Beautiful and realistic action, beautiful grim images when the men are eventually placed in the penal battalion and have to clear mines. But also how, overcome with resignation, they drive stone cold in the truck past the burning of a huge pile of corpses. There was a road near Stalingrad that they called 'the bone road' because they marked the path in the snow, for that was all, with bones sticking out of the snow. They had tried it before with wooden stakes, but the starving and numb German troops stole everything that was edible and flammable, so even those stakes were not safe.

The misery, the cold, the hunger, the hopelessness, the mutual irritation, but also the camaraderie. Stalingrad paints a picture of Germans who were even human and did 'their job' as soldiers, protesting and refusing in certain matters. The ending is downright depressing, but that's entirely in the style of the movie.


Nice catchy soundtrack by the way.

This film shows the war in all its facets, the camaraderie during the breaks when the men read the mail and chat, but also like here in a battle between dug-in German soldiers and Russian infantry with tanks!

You get to see a soldier who is still just as mad from the pain, when his entire lower body has been knocked away. That is the war and the result for a young man!

Raw film but the truth is often unwelcome and raw!

The story mainly revolves around Hanz Van Witzland, who is rather ideologically oriented and thinks like many that the German Empire has a future. His opponent is a realist, Manfred Rohleder, and this one is all about earning an Iron Cross for his heroism.

Both talk differently later when they have experienced the reality of Stalingrad!

In its genre this is an excellent print and our rating is an 8!

Stalingrad

Excellent war film about the battle of Stalingrad. It was a great miscalculation on Hitler's part to think that the Germans would capture Stalingrad for a while, and the result was a battlefield where over a million soldiers were killed.

Stalingrad shows this in a raw and realistic way, and the way in which director Vilsmaier shows the futility of the war and the sense of superiority of the Germans is impressive. The leadership sent young soldiers to their deaths, all in the name of the German Reich. The bombed-out Stalingrad is truly masterfully portrayed, and the acting is also strong. The last shot of the two young men in the snow, frozen to death, is brilliant and will stay with me for a while.
