Soviets had more weapons then troops at the battle of Stalingrad, this movie is 0% accurate so don't take it as a source, Coldwar propoganda in the west simulated high losses for the Soviets too while in reality it was 1:1.3 ratio and not 1 to 9.
That's not true. The battle lasted 5 months and less than half of the soviet force was a casualty. In the whole 5 months about 20% of the russians the participated in the battle actually died. Obviously the life expectancy was more than 7 hours. No modern battles happen that fast.

Interesting fact. The Stuka dive bombers at 1:11 were one of the first planes with a primitive type of auto pilot that would pull the aircraft out of it's dive. The reason being, diving at that angle caused such a tremendous G force on the pilot they would often pass out for a few seconds
As kids reinacting the war pretending we were planes we always thought that was the sound of a plane diving I'm 59 and still describe a plane as falling with that sound
@Iafiv Iv, they repeated his dying scene, but there is one more guy with PPSh. You can see him after he survived the first Stuka attack for a very short time at 1:25 on the port side.

I remember almost 20 years ago I played Call Of Duty the finest hour and played the missions similar to this. It was amazing as a kid back then and got me really into history.
Almost everything in this movie is a lie. transportation of soldiers was carried out at night. The soldiers armed themselves and received 3-4 days of training on the eastern bank of the Volga before sending them into battle. Most of the soldiers were volunteers and over 30 years old. Vasily Zatsev had higher education. After the war, he wrote a book ("There was no land for us beyond the Volga"), in which he described in detail how he fought against snipers. How do you think we won the war? :)
@@eluosi8236 True, most hollywood movies are inaccurate, however I hope I'm not the only one, that got inspired into historical fiction video games because of the movies.
@@eluosi8236 From what I understand, the thing about their not being enough rifles was only the case in WW1. By WW2, they more or less had enough weapons to supply every soldier. They also had assistance from the allies in the form of imports by this point, as well. Both from the Americans and the British.
I feel like this scene would've been much more daunting to watch without the heroic music in the background. It would have increased the scare factor by like a billion percent.
The irony is that at the time of this depicted battle it might not been anymore in use. The "trumpets" installed on the wings induced drag, the psychological effect became more like a warning, and as the result the later variations of the plane did not have the wing trumpets. But it has become such a cliche that sometimes all planes in Hollywood make the same noise.
@ Debatable, they were slow and too heavy, became quite useless at the end of the war as they had to have fighter escort otherwise they'd be downed as soon as they took off. However the StuKa Gustav did see some success as a tank buster atleast.

It was a war of Attrition and the Russians had home field advantage with an endless supply of bodies only a few hours away as opposed to the Germans whom were a few days away. Russians had no strategy... except to just keep throwing bodies at the Germans til eventually they break. The home team has the advantage when the visitors don't even wanna be there.

Human wave attacks of the Bolsheviks that time was a delaying tactic used by Stalin to reorganize his Red Army. This was because Hitler caught him pants down and Stalin being a great leader, executed most of his officers who do have knowledge bout fighting the Germans on WW1.
There's a book called Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman that gives an excellent account of the battle. The author was a Soviet journalist imbedded in the army and witnessed events first hand. Combat is depicted but also the many facets of life , through the eyes of soldiers and officers on both sides, workers, peasants, even scientists. It was written in the style of historical fiction, but that didn't stop the Stalinist bureaucracy from suppressing it for decades. It was only translated to English and published in 2019, and is a prequel to the earlier published 'Life and Fate. One of the best books I've ever read - the writing is stunning and with incredible weight. A must read for those interested in the subject.
This is inaccurate. The reinforcements crossing the Volga were not unarmed, they were equipped for street fighting with submachine guns and extra grenades. This was over a year after the war had started and weapon/ammunition production was in full swing.
***** You've missed the point mate. It wasn't done for some fancy reason, it was not done full stop. I've never read about this happening anywhere, documentaries, online reading or at home. If this is what they really sent to Stalingrad, they would have lost the city.
TaZ101SAGA the conscript army they used in Stalingrad had a shitload more manpower than what the Germans had there, so they kept the Germans busy while the Soviets sent their other armies to attack at the German's flanks, then surround the German army in Stalingrad
They've been using defense in depth since they learned how to beat the swedish juggernaut at Poltava, take the losses till the enemy run out of steam then roll them back.
Not really. There isn't really a Soviet version of it. I could argue that Doroga Na Berlin is like the anti Saving Private Ryan -- going MIA to avoid being shot for having being captured once (if my Russian was correct). Thematically and in terms of content, A Tihie Zdes' Zora would be closer.
Too bad this movie is more of a French/British movie than an American movie you idiots lmfao just the distribution company was American. Nearly everything else is French/British
The modern Russian tactics haven't changed at all. They still send their troops into battle by frontal assault. They don't care that they take staggeringly high casualties so long as they win.
You do know this movie is incredibly inaccurate, right? Like, they literally made stuff up for the movie. It's all played up for cinematic effect and stereotypes. For example, Vasili Zaitsev could actually read and write very well (almost everyone in the Soviet Union could) and was a staunch communist. There are no records of soldiers in Stalingrad being shot for retreating, or being sent into battle without weapons. That may have happened in WW1, but not in WW2. Blocking detachments did exist, but they mainly dealt with people actually leaving the city, not retreating from failed attacks. The only source that exists of Soviet Soldiers not having enough rifles, describes the ones without rifles being given PPSh-41 SMGs. This movie is just a movie, and actual Stalingrad veterans hated the movie because of the insane levels of liberties they took with the setting. And before someone accuses me of being a communist or pro-Russia; I support Ukraine, I am pro-democracy, and I hate Lenin and Stalin as much as the next person who values human life.
@@fkakasumi9713 even if you are right, it doesn't contradict what I said. You know the number of losses of the Soviet army, right? This is madness! And in Ukraine now roughly the same thing is happening.
They did not shoot their own men, they did not cross the Volga during daytime, they did not went into battle with rifles but with submachine guns, they did not hand over rifles and ammunition separately, and this keeps on and on.
A submachine gun is nearly useless except in a melee. Look at that commissar firing his Tommy gun at the Stukas... as if .45ACP wasn’t just going to bounce off at that range if it even hit.
@@jeffasbestos7813 Besides jokes, that's true. Russia is almost out of modern equipment. Being under sanctions, it's a problem to produce hi-tech weapons and ammo (the bare fact: recently they bought ~100 Shahed kamikaze drones from Iran. Russia begs Iran for help! Lol 😁 But it's not a solution, most countries refuse to deal with a toxic terrorist state). So they're actually reopening old military depots with equipment, ammo, and even uniform mothballed in 1940-50s as an emergency store. Btw, such cases already took place: drunkards and junkies from DNR and LNR pseudo republics were mobilized as cannon fodder - and sent to battle in old Soviet uniforms, without armour/helmets, with AK-47 and even Mosin rifles (!) No kidding, I'm serious. Now, there are videos of Russian mobilized recruits with rusty AK-47. So no wonder if Russia will get back to the roots this way 😁 The next level - muskets from times of 1812 Napoleonic war... 😂🤣
@@WeltSchmerz1349 even if they buy equipment, it will not equal the amount they are losing, they can't even repair their armoured vehicles due to sanctions, they have already dragged T-62s out of storage and sent them to be destroyed; at this rate, they will soon be left with literally nothing , I wonder what their grand plan is
Not even all Russians will reach the final checkpoint: URA charge on Ukrainian positions. Thousands will die much earlier. For example, when HIMARS missiles hits the trains or barracks with mobilized Ivans. Or when Bayraktar drones dropping death upon the convoy on the way to the battlefield...
Funny considering the losses Ukraine is suffering now that we have a functioning Army fighting, all I see is Ukrainians being slaughtered like sheep, like they were back in the 1900s hahaha

yes, the main purpose of blocking units was to return retreating soldiers to the battlefield not mow down everyone indiscriminately with machine guns. in case of panicking soldiers who dragged the rest of their comrades into retreat, yes, those could be executed on the spot.
@@archer8849I always wondered “what if they needed more ammo.. or they had something important to tell command? Shooting someone for going back would be counterproductive”
Does Bf 109 and FW 190 ring a bell???? Do I need to remind you that the luftwaffe knocked out 40% of the soviet airforce on the first day of the campaign? And hadn't it been for their Romanian allies failing to defend the flank, the Russians would've never be able to knock them out of Stalingrad.
If Stalingrad had fallen, the Soviets would have lost the River Volga as a main supply route between the Caucasus and the rest of the Soviet Union. The Caucasus provided raw materials vital to the Soviet war effort, including 75% of the oil the Soviets used in WW2. Not only would the Soviets lose their oil supply, the Axis would eventually gain it, and open up new routes into the Middle Eastern oil fields, and into Asia. The situation was clear to the Soviets that if they lost Stalingrad, then they would most likely lose the war. Besides the Russians had home advantage and the Wehrmacht was not equipped properly to fight in the cold, harsh winter of the eastern front. But it was a gamble.. And the Germans lost in it.
Yeah but Germany could occupy USSR if they didnt made some tactical mistakes(like not capturing Moscow) and the arrival of T 34's and KV-1's only helped pile up the odds against them. Nevertheless if Stalingrad was lost, the USSR would've lost a very important strategic place and the road to the oil fields would've been clear.

Interesting fact. The Stuka dive bombers at 1:11 were one of the first planes with a primitive type of auto pilot that would pull the aircraft out of it's dive. The reason being, diving at that angle caused such a tremendous G force on the pilot they would often pass out for a few seconds
Interesting indeed
Interesting actual fact, nearly all large bombers already had fully functional 3 axis autopilots then. This was late 1942!
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 Stuka first flew in 1935
@Donald Donald Basic Piper single engine planes nowadays come with a single axis autopilot. 3 axis is considerably more expensive.
I’m just going to point out that the Stukas were in a shallow glide, though the automatic pull out system did indeed exist
I always loved the sound of the Stuka bomber when it dives. Germans had some great planes back in the day
The Stuka was actually fitted with a special siren to make that sound. Pure psychological warfare.
As kids reinacting the war pretending we were planes we always thought that was the sound of a plane diving I'm 59 and still describe a plane as falling with that sound
I wish more people realised not EVERY plane makes this noise. I guess it sounds so cool that it's ok 😊
The footage that was shot from 1:33 - 1:40 is just perfection. I feel like I’m watching a newsreel in color.
the shakiness of the camera really brings it to life
The practical effects can't be beat! So much better than CGI
The guy with the PPSH dies both times when planes hit the boat.

He respawned.
@Iafiv Iv, they repeated his dying scene, but there is one more guy with PPSh. You can see him after he survived the first Stuka attack for a very short time at 1:25 on the port side. But than somehow he got another cap, beamed himself to the starboard side and changed his face to repeat the death of the first one.
Maybe that was something like a really strange worship for this unlucky first guy?

I remember almost 20 years ago I played Call Of Duty the finest hour and played the missions similar to this. It was amazing as a kid back then and got me really into history.
Almost everything in this movie is a lie. transportation of soldiers was carried out at night. The soldiers armed themselves and received 3-4 days of training on the eastern bank of the Volga before sending them into battle. Most of the soldiers were volunteers and over 30 years old.
Vasily Zatsev had higher education. After the war, he wrote a book ("There was no land for us beyond the Volga"), in which he described in detail how he fought against snipers.
How do you think we won the war? :)
@@eluosi8236 True, most hollywood movies are inaccurate, however I hope I'm not the only one, that got inspired into historical fiction video games because of the movies.
@@eluosi8236 From what I understand, the thing about their not being enough rifles was only the case in WW1. By WW2, they more or less had enough weapons to supply every soldier. They also had assistance from the allies in the form of imports by this point, as well. Both from the Americans and the British.
And World At War the part where you're in the fountain with Reznov sniping German officers
@@eluosi8236 Only 3-4 days of training before being sent into that hellhole of a meat grinder is madness. I can´t even imagine...
Apart of inaccuracies, this movie did a great job on special effects
I feel like this scene would've been much more daunting to watch without the heroic music in the background. It would have increased the scare factor by like a billion percent.
Early 2000s Hollywood. Bombastic score needed everywhere. If we could rescore this film today it would probably around a hell of a lot more haunting.

Same especially on the move dunkirk
The irony is that at the time of this depicted battle it might not been anymore in use. The "trumpets" installed on the wings induced drag, the psychological effect became more like a warning, and as the result the later variations of the plane did not have the wing trumpets.
But it has become such a cliche that sometimes all planes in Hollywood make the same noise.
I know right? Its beautiful
@ Debatable, they were slow and too heavy, became quite useless at the end of the war as they had to have fighter escort otherwise they'd be downed as soon as they took off.

Grim Thy Great actually there were only 8 million military casualties during the war the other 12 million are all civillian
Human wave attacks of the Bolsheviks that time was a delaying tactic used by Stalin to reorganize his Red Army. This was because Hitler caught him pants down and Stalin being a great leader, executed most of his officers who do have knowledge bout fighting the Germans on WW1.
Grim Thy Great Only 12 million died. Those 20 million were civilians the Germans ethically cleansed.
There's a book called Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman that gives an excellent account of the battle. The author was a Soviet journalist imbedded in the army and witnessed events first hand. Combat is depicted but also the many facets of life , through the eyes of soldiers and officers on both sides, workers, peasants, even scientists. It was written in the style of historical fiction, but that didn't stop the Stalinist bureaucracy from suppressing it for decades. It was only translated to English and published in 2019, and is a prequel to the earlier published 'Life and Fate. One of the best books I've ever read - the writing is stunning and with incredible weight. A must read for those interested in the subject.
Thank you for this post of inspiration to read this masterpiece.

You've missed the point mate. It wasn't done for some fancy reason, it was not done full stop. I've never read about this happening anywhere, documentaries, online reading or at home. If this is what they really sent to Stalingrad, they would have lost the city.
TaZ101SAGA the conscript army they used in Stalingrad had a shitload more manpower than what the Germans had there, so they kept the Germans busy while the Soviets sent their other armies to attack at the German's flanks, then surround the German army in Stalingrad

The modern Russian tactics haven't changed at all. They still send their troops into battle by frontal assault. They don't care that they take staggeringly high casualties so long as they win.
You do know this movie is incredibly inaccurate, right? Like, they literally made stuff up for the movie. It's all played up for cinematic effect and stereotypes. For example, Vasili Zaitsev could actually read and write very well (almost everyone in the Soviet Union could) and was a staunch communist.
There are no records of soldiers in Stalingrad being shot for retreating, or being sent into battle without weapons. That may have happened in WW1, but not in WW2. Blocking detachments did exist, but they mainly dealt with people actually leaving the city, not retreating from failed attacks.
The only source that exists of Soviet Soldiers not having enough rifles, describes the ones without rifles being given PPSh-41 SMGs.
This movie is just a movie, and actual Stalingrad veterans hated the movie because of the insane levels of liberties they took with the setting.

This is the true beginning of Saving Private Ryan. Without USSR breaking the Wehrmacht spine before 1944, there would not have been any Overlord in the first place.
In the days after 9/11, I went by boat at night to the still smoking ground zero to feed rescue workers. With the vibrating of the boat (it was a motor tour boat) and the huge work lights and smoke and the every increasing detail and size of the destruction, I remember thinking it reminded me of this scene. Without the planes shooting at us of course.

If Stalingrad had fallen, the Soviets would have lost the River Volga as a main supply route between the Caucasus and the rest of the Soviet Union.
The Caucasus provided raw materials vital to the Soviet war effort, including 75% of the oil the Soviets used in WW2. Not only would the Soviets lose their oil supply, the Axis would eventually gain it, and open up new routes into the Middle Eastern oil fields, and into Asia.
The situation was clear to the Soviets that if they lost Stalingrad, then they would most likely lose the war.
Besides the Russians had home advantage and the Wehrmacht was not equipped properly to fight in the cold, harsh winter of the eastern front. But it was a gamble.. And the Germans lost in it.
Yeah but Germany could occupy USSR if they didnt made some tactical mistakes(like not capturing Moscow) and the arrival of T 34's and KV-1's only helped pile up the odds against them. Nevertheless if Stalingrad was lost, the USSR would've lost a very important strategic place and the road to the oil fields would've been clear.
