The beginning of the end for Nazi Germany

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2001)

By the time the allies landed at Normandy (June 1944) Nazi Germany was already defeated. On an almost constant retreat after the Battle of Stalingrad (Feb 1943)Germany's manpower losses at the Eastern Front were horrific. This movie gives a small example of what happened in the East. Good acting, great special effects (Stuka dive bombers that look like Stukas), and an interesting story make for a winner. Fortunately, I am well versed in the Eastern Front battles so the movie made sense to me.
