Rivals 'Das Boot', as the greatest War movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2019)

At the time of this review I had only ever seen the dubbed version but the producers of 'Das Boot' have created one of the all time classics. Stalingrad was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and where they lost around 440,000 of their men (including most of their crack storm-troopers). Despite Hollywood's attempt to re-write history, 5 out of 6 German soldiers were actually killed by Russians (mostly in this very battle) and one perished every 7 seconds on the horrific 'Eastern Front'. Stalingrad the movie, captures one of the bloodiest battles known to man and where no prisoners were taken (on both sides). Now I have seen this masterpiece in a subtitled format, I can securely award the ten it deserves. Actually they did a great job with the dubbed version (which is rare) but there was none for the Russian dialog, so you could not understand what was being said. So my advice is to opt for the subtitled one (it's always the very best choice).
