In Reply to: "Stalingrad," a film of the battle from the German side. The problem posted by tinear on October 19, 2008 at 14:07:31:
I liked it more than you did.
Surely there were some Germans involved in the campaign who recognized that fighting the Russians was virtually a death sentence--hence, those with second thoughts. That the movie should focus on their story is, as you suggest, to create sympathy for the lead characters.
Overall, I thought this movie did a workable job of portraying the chaos and horrors of warfare . . .
