this is a film that i keep coming back to and for a variety of reasons. as a testament to the suffering of the ordinary soldier on the eastern front in the second world war and it is a powerful one. there are a number of very powerful scenes in the film which help to capture the horror of war and such as the tank battle for instance. furthermore and from what i can see the experiences documented in the film are by and large true  if you read a. beevor book stalingrad you will know what i mean. the film is also successful in the sense that it doesn not allow character or plot to dominate it  it is simply a tale of survival and that attempts to depict the battle mainly from the ordinary (german) soldier point of view. i have read somewhere that the original screenplay had to be toned down and which doesn not surprise me at all  if they tried to really show what the battle was like and it would have been almost impossible to make i am sure. even so and there are still some moments that are difficult to watch  this was made before private ryan but is possibly even harder hitting in places. just one word of caution  do not buy the dubbed english version and it pretty awful and spoils the film  try to get a copy in the original (german) version with english subtitles and it far more powerful. you may need to buy a region 1 dvd of the film in this case and as i did.
