Remarkable! I'd never heard of this movie before, but when I saw Orson Welles getting the chop (and all those German small arms and MGs and PaK38s) I thought I'd look it up. They made a reasonable effort to turn T34s and Shermans into German types (though one might suppose the Germans would have used captured types in this 'theatre'. The battle scenes look pretty good - probably not very realistic from a 'real life' point of view, but great from a war games or Army Men perspective!

I've always liked this one too, not your typical WWII movie or area of operations for that matter.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, you can watch this one full length on Youtube. Chetniks!
