***Have you seen the epic 2 part Stalingrad film made shortly after the war ? I've only ever read about it, I'm sure it is very "patriotic" but what is it like as a war film and historical piece ?Sorry, I don't recall that film.
***Plenty of equipment available as well (did you notice that the chassis of the Tiger tanks in Saving Private Ryan were t-34's ? I thought they looked a bit small).No, I didn't notice. But in terms of war trivia, Germany used a lot of captured equipment and weapons, from virtually any country. So for instance, during the Jursk battle, when the two tank armies collided at Prokhorovka, there were many captured T-34's in the SS tank divisiona.
Germans were constantly short on weapons, so they put everything they could get their hands on into action - Russian rufles, Czeck weapons, even the Norvegian .45 caliber pistol - so yes, there WAS out beloved .45 in service of Wehrmacht.
But I am not the great expert on tank siluettes - alghouth I have the Soviet tank colonel working here with us, and I am sure he would be able to spot any such inconsistencies in a microsecond.
On the subject of an epic war movie - there was a completely monumental work produced in USSR I think in 1975, to commemorate the 30th aniversary of the Victory. It consisted of, I believe, four parts, each one probably over two hours long, wide screen format and incredible battle scenes. It was probably called "Great Patrioic War" (a no-brainer...) and they collected many, many excellent actors in that film.
