This reminds me of a guy named Jarman Cale who fought for a liberation army in Iraq. He had over 100 kills and disabled an estimate of 20-30 vehicles with metal piercing bullets. Very interesting guy, look him up some time.
One of the things that annoyed me the most in this movie was the absolute exaggeration of Order 227 "No Step Back" (the summary execution of deserters). In the VAST majority of times, soldiers caught deserting were forced to attend penal battalions, punishment units that were made to perform exceptionally dangerous tasks such as clearing minefields and leading assaults. While executions did occur, the total number on the ENTIRE Eastern Front (1941-1945) was "only" a couple of ten thousand which may sound a lot...until you realize the death toll of all the battles in the Soviet Union frequently totalled in the millions. TLDR: Executions of deserters did happen in the Soviet Union, but not as much as commonly portrayed in media, and DEFINITELY not to the extent in Enemy at the Gates.
Sort of. In the vast majority of circumstances Red Army soldiers were simply told to go back to the front, and the vast majority complied. Traumatised soldiers wandering back from the front line has happened in every war, the Red Army simply dealt with them in the way that every other army dealt with them: by telling them to go back. The absolute worst example of this in the movie is where the Russians have an MG that mows down deserters. The only recorded event anything like this was where a soldier fired an MG burst over the heads of retreating soldiers to scare them into fighting.
I would change the title he was not fighting against n@zis he was fighting against german soldiers, many of them were not n@zis but they must fight in the army its very important to see the different, a nice example is the battle of castle itter where german soldiers and americans fight against the ss (n@zis)

This has much of the story of Stalin's Lady Death, Pavlyuchenkova, with 309, was a rifle champion who took the gun from her fallen companion and started taking revenge for the terrible rape and murder she found when going to help at a retirement home. With a degree in history, she toured the west encouraging the US first lady to campaign to supply her fighters. She established the navy's sniper schools, having rewritten and condensed training publications, drawing thousands of women into the field with privligagese that recognised their importance and skills. Her training drew in orders and communications from downed officers, especially the highly decorated German head of their sniper school, whom she tracked and killed. His promotions and awards having killed over a hundred, caused her General to promote his lady Sargent, somewhat eventually to Colonal with Hero of the Soviet union. On her chest.

The Germans definitely did not surrender in 1943. They may have withdrawn from the area...but still in the fight. The Americans didn't land in France until June of '44. Almost another year of fighting before the Soviets burned the Reichstag in Berlin in May of 1945.
Shout out the people who played Call Of Duty World at War back in the day (Not the newest one youngings), the first Soviet Mission recreates and pays homage to the Fountain Scene perfectly iykyk 😏😏
To be clear: the vast majority of this film is pure fiction. It's based loosely on things that happened, and as far as depictions of the Battle of Stalingrad go, it's pretty decent, but most of the events that do transpire in the film never happened, and most of the characters either never existed or were changed so much they may as well have.
Ironically there is evidence that the great 'Sniper Duel' at the end of the movie was made up by Vasily Zaytsev himself. There is no record of Eron Konig in any German military records from the time, and the only source of that name comes from Zaytsev memoirs. It is widely believed that Eron Konig was created by the Soviet Union as a means of boosting moral of their soldiers. Creating the legend of Zaytsev. So, the "Real Story !!" in the name of the video is technically a misrepresentation.
They won thé battle of Stalingrad by offering there population and their troops. It's typical communisme, the society is above thé individual. The communist fought like pigs, , no respect nor for thé enemy nor for their own people. This is a Hollywood shit film that romantisses a period that was terrible for the entire world .on every side. And the nazi's were stopped in 45, but communism is still active. They are the same .

It broke him, he still drinks and can barely function like a human without alcohol. What has he seen? No one will ever know.
pretty good movie apart from the part when the officers shoot their own soldiers. never happened, the soviets did it just like most armies. for deserting, you were arrested. only 8 soldiers were executed for desertion in stalingrad. the 'one gun for every two men' also never happened in stalingrad, but did happen earlier in the war once or twice.
People seem to forget that the Russians had been producing Mosins since 1891 and also had other guns like the SVT38/40. If they somehow ran out of Mosins which is nearly impossible, they had Lee Enfields, Lee Navies, Martinis, Berdans, Gras carbines, some in the millions like the Berdan. THEY NEVER HAD TO RESORT TO ONE RIFLE FOR TWO MEN, EVEN IN STALINGRAD.
@@andonmartin4142 nice way to twist my words… I meant history as in general. Do you think our world is only defined by nazi’s history ? Everyone knows about what happened in the holocaust ( may they rest in peace) but there were even more large scale genocides… But not many seems to care much about that… can you tell me why is that ? Because they were the winners hence the “good guys” . So once again my point was/is History is always rewritten by the winners.

this is one of the worst war movies ever mad everything in this movie is made up it has not even 0 % of truth its somehow below that this is one of the least accurate movies not just war movies but movie in general literally everything is made up
not a sniper but he is badass, jump on top of a burning tank destroyer and used the M2HB and managed to capture a lot of Germans, it even sounds like a typical Hollywood cliche
I remember that this movie is best war movie that always watching it when I was young. It's my first movie to makes me interested to Russian army, Russian war history, and video games. And I also remember the scene where Vasili shot 5 German officers that is very similar to the Call of Duty World at War Vendetta. The theme song of this movie is my favorite too.
@@WEMBLEYNE Yes, the movie completely slanders the red army. Painting them as cowardly mobs blindly thrown forward with no weapons only to be shot by their own side. None of this happened. The red army was a highly skilled, professional army, there were certainly ammo shortages in Stalingrad, but soldiers were never thrust forward in a suicide charge and gunned down. It was incredibly offensive to veterans. It doesn't even try to give credit to the soviets.
The real nightmare of the nazis is that one guy who took a freaking broadsword to battle AND WON Also I’m pretty sure this can be used as an example of Florida people Because they can bring a sword to a gunfight and win

Think again.. To be a sniper, you have to give up your way of living, family background, personalities, bank account, credit card, friends, amost everything about you.. Meaning to say government still watching you even you retired.. You even need to report to them your status from time to time.. Because with your skills, you cud be the threat/mole to government/enemy/organization.. They will be rooting you until the day you die.. Your skill is your curse..

This is an unreal story! Vasily Zaitsev lived in the Stalingrad battle at all. He even wrote his book about how he survived this terrible war. I have already read it and this is what I can say. Do not believe this film everything was completely wrong!
At the beginning when they were going to the front lines with the boats, I immediately recognized it from a mission in a old CoD game for the PS2, I think it was Call Of Duty, Finest Hour but I don't know.
While Vasily was a very real person, hero and sniper the duel with the German Master Sniper was just Communist Propaganda... no Major Konig even existed.
It's a great movie with incredible acting. But it is inspired by historical events and not historically accurate. Many of the characters shown in the movie never existed and there was no sniper-engagement as shown in this movie. The whole character of Major Koenig was fabricated. There are also some minor details in the movie that don't fitt the timeline like T34/85 tanks.
@@cesarefildani5023 Eh. The USSR was pretty terrible. And they have been pretty cruel even to their own soldiers. I heard a very old Soviet Veteran once say in a documentary, he had the choice between two dictators and he chose to fight for the one that spoke his language. The Soviet army was not like shown in this movie. But there have been no-step-back orders by Stalin. And the Soviet Politcomissars have been known for their cruelty. Stalin himself is known for saying, I quote "In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.". So there is that.
@@CrniWuk The soldier could have just been a cherry picked disillusioned veteran. I wont discredit his story, but find out who made the documentary. If it was a western nation/company or just a private company or capitalist supporting group, then look at it with a critical eye. No step back was not directed at the soldiers but at higher officers who would give up swaths of land to the Nazis, along with it thousands of people and lots of industry and farmland. Stalin made the order because he was infuriated that they would just throw so much so easily with the thought that that land contained so many people and so much material. the order said nothing about shooting soldiers who fell back. If soldiers fell back from a failed attack, they weren't killed. Deserters were dealt with in the same way every country dealt with deserters. That quote was misattributed to Stalin. In fact, it turns out most 'quotes' from Stalin were misattributed and created through plays, books, rumors, or just older quotes being slapped with a 'Stalin' label by some western "intellectual".
@@WM-gf8zm Show me valid sources that he inflated numbers in his diary, shot at practically new army, and name all of the better snipers than him. Go on.
"Wie oft?" ("How often?") was a phrase understood by everyone in Berlin in the immediate aftermath of the second world war. "How often have you been raped by Russian soldiers?" was what was really meant. Such a matter-of-fact exchange summed up how much it came to be taken for granted that German women suffered at the hands of Russian soldiers who captured Berlin. An estimated 2 million German women fell victim to the troops, 100,000 of them in Berlin. An estimated 10% of rape victims died, mostly from suicide. Many had abortions and those who did give birth often gave their babies up for adoption. In 1946 almost 4% of Berlin-born children were estimated to have Russian fathers.
even though i consider war to be bad and dont encourage such atrocities, after what the soviet had gone through , it was just a revenge for the evils that German soldier had brought upon them n their families

Holliwood 'Schlock' of the worst variety. It is a very carefully crafted but historically inaccurate and tainted with the 'Western' mythology around Soviet methods tactics and strategy, which was post-WW2 established by.... the surviving German generals.
This movie is fine but I hate that they changed some things for shock value. 1: Soviet officers were not abusive to the soldiers. They understood the situation and a lot of soldiers were young, they helped boost morale instead of just executing them. 2: Soviets did not kill soldiers falling back. When soldiers retreated they would be rounded up to regroup in larger numbers and sent back to the fight when they have calmed down. I hate hearing people say the Soviet army was a place of hell because I can tell they only know their history from Call of Duty. The Soviet army were extremely loyal to the mother land. They are fighting for their families back at home because they’re told the Germans are going to slaughter them of they get past them. Young soldiers loyal to the country took this to heart and fought till the very end.

One of the things that annoyed me the most in this movie was the absolute exaggeration of Order 227 "No Step Back" (the summary execution of deserters). In the VAST majority of times, soldiers caught deserting were forced to attend penal battalions, punishment units that were made to perform exceptionally dangerous tasks such as clearing minefields and leading assaults. While executions did occur, the total number on the ENTIRE Eastern Front (1941-1945) was "only" a couple of ten thousand which may sound a lot...until you realize the death toll of all the battles in the Soviet Union frequently totalled in the millions.
TLDR: Executions of deserters did happen in the Soviet Union, but not as much as commonly portrayed in media, and DEFINITELY not to the extent in Enemy at the Gates.
Sort of. In the vast majority of circumstances Red Army soldiers were simply told to go back to the front, and the vast majority complied. Traumatised soldiers wandering back from the front line has happened in every war, the Red Army simply dealt with them in the way that every other army dealt with them: by telling them to go back. The absolute worst example of this in the movie is where the Russians have an MG that mows down deserters. The only recorded event anything like this was where a soldier fired an MG burst over the heads of retreating soldiers to scare them into fighting.
I would change the title he was not fighting against n@zis he was fighting against german soldiers, many of them were not n@zis but they must fight in the army its very important to see the different, a nice example is the battle of castle itter where german soldiers and americans fight against the ss (n@zis)

This has much of the story of Stalin's Lady Death, Pavlyuchenkova, with 309, was a rifle champion who took the gun from her fallen companion and started taking revenge for the terrible rape and murder she found when going to help at a retirement home. With a degree in history, she toured the west encouraging the US first lady to campaign to supply her fighters. She established the navy's sniper schools, having rewritten and condensed training publications, drawing thousands of women into the field with privligagese that recognised their importance and skills. Her training drew in orders and communications from downed officers, especially the highly decorated German head of their sniper school, whom she tracked and killed. His promotions and awards having killed over a hundred, caused her General to promote his lady Sargent, somewhat eventually to Colonal with Hero of the Soviet union. On her chest.

Fact
The Germans definitely did not surrender in 1943. They may have withdrawn from the area...but still in the fight. The Americans didn't land in France until June of '44. Almost another year of fighting before the Soviets burned the Reichstag in Berlin in May of 1945.

To be clear: the vast majority of this film is pure fiction.
It's based loosely on things that happened, and as far as depictions of the Battle of Stalingrad go, it's pretty decent, but most of the events that do transpire in the film never happened, and most of the characters either never existed or were changed so much they may as well have.

Ironically there is evidence that the great 'Sniper Duel' at the end of the movie was made up by Vasily Zaytsev himself. There is no record of Eron Konig in any German military records from the time, and the only source of that name comes from Zaytsev memoirs. It is widely believed that Eron Konig was created by the Soviet Union as a means of boosting moral of their soldiers. Creating the legend of Zaytsev. So, the "Real Story !!" in the name of the video is technically a misrepresentation.
Correct. Most likely just propaganda but still a good story.

The Soviet army was not like shown in this movie. But there have been no-step-back orders by Stalin. And the Soviet Politcomissars have been known for their cruelty. Stalin himself is known for saying, I quote "In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.". So there is that.
@@CrniWuk The soldier could have just been a cherry picked disillusioned veteran. I wont discredit his story, but find out who made the documentary. If it was a western nation/company or just a private company or capitalist supporting group, then look at it with a critical eye. No step back was not directed at the soldiers but at higher officers who would give up swaths of land to the Nazis, along with it thousands of people and lots of industry and farmland. Stalin made the order because he was infuriated that they would just throw so much so easily with the thought that that land contained so many people and so much material. the order said nothing about shooting soldiers who fell back. If soldiers fell back from a failed attack, they weren't killed. Deserters were dealt with in the same way every country dealt with deserters. That quote was misattributed to Stalin. In fact, it turns out most 'quotes' from Stalin were misattributed and created through plays, books, rumors, or just older quotes being slapped with a 'Stalin' label by some western "intellectual".

"Wie oft?" ("How often?") was a phrase understood by everyone in Berlin in the immediate aftermath of the second world war. "How often have you been raped by Russian soldiers?" was what was really meant.
Such a matter-of-fact exchange summed up how much it came to be taken for granted that German women suffered at the hands of Russian soldiers who captured Berlin. An estimated 2 million German women fell victim to the troops, 100,000 of them in Berlin. An estimated 10% of rape victims died, mostly from suicide. Many had abortions and those who did give birth often gave their babies up for adoption. In 1946 almost 4% of Berlin-born children were estimated to have Russian fathers.
even though i consider war to be bad and dont encourage such atrocities, after what the soviet had gone through , it was just a revenge for the evils that German soldier had brought upon them n their families

Nice war story set in Stalingrad featuring Kruschev.
This movie is fine but I hate that they changed some things for shock value.
1: Soviet officers were not abusive to the soldiers. They understood the situation and a lot of soldiers were young, they helped boost morale instead of just executing them.
2: Soviets did not kill soldiers falling back. When soldiers retreated they would be rounded up to regroup in larger numbers and sent back to the fight when they have calmed down.
I hate hearing people say the Soviet army was a place of hell because I can tell they only know their history from Call of Duty. The Soviet army were extremely loyal to the mother land. They are fighting for their families back at home because they’re told the Germans are going to slaughter them of they get past them. Young soldiers loyal to the country took this to heart and fought till the very end.
