The Hell of War

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2001)

I was stationed in the military not many years after WWII; I had the chance to visit the major cities of the then Soviet Union, and this film is a very accurate portrayal of what I've been told by the survivors. We so easily dismiss the Russians, but more (by far) died at Stalingrad than all Yank soldiers in the whole of WWII. This films easily portrays the scope of the major battles moreso than any predecessor including "Saving Private Ryan". It should not be missed by anyone with any feeling for history and why we've survived until this day.
