      Well sir, on first sighting the Germans I naturally gave the order to advance, thats my style sir. The snipers crossed through the Gates and engaged the Enemy.
      Comrade Koulikov panicked. So then I fell back in good order and destroyed the Gates sir.
      Ugghhhh hggum
      I have written to the Kremlin sir, to state that the snipers aquitted themselves most commendably in discharging both your general orders to engage the Enemy and your particular order to destroy the Gates sir.

      First off it’s not a myth and it absolutely did happed.
      Secondly it just didn’t happen on mass.
      This myth was perpetuated well before this movie. That myth was alive and well during World War II when our boys went in and assumed that if we fight the Russians they wouldn’t take a step back. Metaphorically they never took a step back in the entirety of Ww2.
      The world thought that Germany mowed everybody down and hit a brick wall in Russia. Once Germany’s momentum was completely stopped by Russia Russia than push them out of the country. That was the narrative in World War II that Russia not only would not take a step back but could not lose ground.
      That was all Russian propaganda and had nothing to do with this movie.

    People tend to forget that before this movie America still really hated the soviet union, and even Russia. Not that America likes them now, but there was genuine hatred for Eastern Europeans in the United States. However after its release, America went through a small period of appreciation for the soviet union and its contributions in ww2.
    Its by no means historically accurate, and you can find inaccuracies everywhere, but not every movie, even those about real events, is obliged to be historically accurate. A movies primary function (well, other than to make money) is to be entertaining, and maybe make the viewer look at life with a new perspective. This movie accomplished both, and evidenced by the comments, got alot of people interest in soviet ww2 history, especially at a time when most Americans barely even cared about British or Australian contributions, and looked at everything Russian with disdain.
    Before this the most America really and to love that was Russian was Yakov Smirnoff... and he's Ukrainian.

      Except they still do hate Russia and the Soviet Union. And what kind of image did they get of them from this movie? That the Soviets won despite being retarded? That they were a dirty, unwashed, stupid mass of people that somehow triumphed over the clean, efficient, noble Wehrmacht?

    • @Robb1977

      @@Alsemenor Americans dont hate Russia with nearly the same ferocity as they did then. Most of the hate now is directed at the idea that Russia is "conservative" or that Putin is a tyrant. but simply being eastern European isnt nearly as bad as it was in the early 90s or before.
      prior to the early 2000s even academics generally avoided eastern Europe as a topic because it was considered too politically charged. if you so much as pointed out a positive of the soviet union you'd be associated with communist infiltration, or weakening American values.
      America loves underdog stories more than they do a rags to riches. The depiction of the Russians as scrappy go-getters is leaps and bounds above their previous depictions as Bond villains or arrogant assholes. And depicting the Nazis as technologically advanced was a common trope in western media, and still is. It's a way to make your villain appear stronger, so your underdog's victory has an even bigger payoff.
      The message it got across to, even the most close-minded Americans, was that the Soviets, while still evil in their leadership, sacrificed a lot, more even, than western nations in the fight against fascism in Europe.
      Sure the movie is inaccurate, but it hits on three major aspects that Americans needed to realize about the soviet union to not hate every eastern European they met: 1: evil people in the Soviet leadership (like Stalin) are not representative of the Soviet people. 2: the soviet people are people too, they had heros, times of suffering, and love. They're not ideological robots because of "communism". 3: the Soviet people lost a great deal in the war, even more than westerners, and they still made it through.
      You say the movie depicts them as clean and unwashed, but my counterpoint to that is: have you ever seen a war movie? or even a photo? or just studied the soviet union during the pre-war and wartime period? or the language of film? urban combat, especially when you are living in the ruins you fight in, isn't clean.
      Few movies (usually only bad ones) have soldiers without smudges on their faces, tattered uniforms, or dirt in some way. the real photos of the event, and the ones taken for propaganda, show men and women covered in dirt from fighting in foxholes or trenches, or ruined industrial centers. It's hardly an exaggeration to show fighting people as dirty, that's the nature of the job. Also, it's hard to argue the point that they were uncivilized and unclean when this scene takes place in what is effectively a palace.

      There is a lot about Enemy at the Gates which is historically inaccurate. The book that the movie is based on is pretty inaccurate and on top of that most historians believe the duel between Zaitsez and Koeing never actually happened. There has been no evidence of a "Major Koeing" serving as a sniper in the German army at Stalingrad or of a "Major Koeing" even existing . The story comes from Zaitsez's memoirs where he says he met a woman in Berlin who claimed he killed her father who was an instructor at the German sniper school, but the story has never been confirmed because we don't know who the woman was.
      The only thing accurate about the movie is that Vasily Zaitsev was a sniper and he fought in Stalingrad.

      “British Brains, American Brawn, Russian Blood”
      While this quote is attributed to everyone from Stalin to Churchill it does sum up that the war was a joint effort and none of the big three could have succeeded without the others.
      Without British Intelligence the Siberian divisions wouldn’t have been moved to Stalingrad. Without American trains and equipment they wouldn’t have been able to move as quickly or at all, and without those divisions to push back the Germans, Stalingrad likely falls and the Russians are knocked out of the war.
