willysmb44 Posted May 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2014 I saw this on another forum, anyone have a clue what movie it's from? I assume it's probably one of the 1950s WW2 movies made in Russia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccomas Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2014 I saw this on another forum, anyone have a clue what movie it's from? I assume it's probably one of the 1950s WW2 movies made in Russia? "All Quiet ON The Western Front...becuase all of the fighting is on the eastern front"? Seriously, I have no idea, but it loks interesting. It also looks "Soviet" to me.

fstop61 Posted May 21, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2014 Mind you that this is just a guess, but I would venture that the film maybe later then the 1950's (judging from the color and special effects). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted May 22, 2014 The 'Tiger' led me to think maybe it was 'The Road to Berlin,' but I haven't seen the film all the way through. For years, there were rumors that the Russians used plenty of German tanks in their 50s war films, to include 'several' Tigers, but now we know they didn't apparently have a running example by then...

patches Posted May 22, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 22, 2014 Not too sure it's a 50s or even 60s movie, I'll base this on the fact that the well known Soviet movie from 1959 (well known among war film buff, or should be well known) Ballad of a Soldier uses a fake Tiger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballad_of_a_Soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktrooper Posted May 22, 2014 Share #7 Posted May 22, 2014 Theres a clip of that battle on you tube. the title I think is Battle of (or for) Navaretta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1944 Posted June 18, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2014 This clip is actually from a Russian film series called 'Osvobozhdenie' which was released in Russia in 1970-71. Not one but five separate films which each focus on a different Eastern front campaign. They're all up on Youtube. The footage is from the first film 'Fire Bulge', which deals with the Kursk battle. Impressive Soviet scale production with fields filled with tanks and artillery and even some of those early T34/Tiger conversions. On many occasions it's also evident that the actors are firing live ammunition on the film set. A recreation of the July 20 assasination attempt on Hitler was filmed at the original Wolfsschanze. Oh and the icing on the cake are Russian actors portraying Roosevelt and Churchill. You'll have to look past the Cold War era propaganda factor but they're enjoyable films.

ccmax Posted June 19, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 19, 2014 Yes Carl, that is exactly what it is. Here is another interesting one, from Yugoslavia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-qq107mI2I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
