Product Description

Product Description

The Eastern Front experienced the viciousness of war on a scale of unimaginable horror and brutality. The bloodiest and most savage fighting took place in Stalingrad between August 1942 and February 1943. Stalin's city on the Volga had military significance for Hitler. It carried the name of his enemy and therefore had to be destroyed. The ensuing battle sealed the fates of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and marked the turning point of World War II. It was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany.

In their three-part 16:9 HDTV documentary, internationally recognized award-winning documentary filmmakers Sebastian Dehnhardt, Christian Deick and Jörg Müllner reveal new historical facts while touching the emotions of their audience with new, moving eyewitness accounts and confessions from some of the last survivors.

Filmed from both the German and Russian perspective, Stalingrad contains footage shot by soldiers during the siege. The Russian archives opened their doors to the filmmakers, granting them exclusive access to previously unreleased material. The series also contains digitally restored archive film as well as 3-D animation to recreate the city of Stalingrad and plot the course of its destruction.

Originally broadcast in both Germany and Russia in slightly truncated editions, this Special Edition DVD contains all three Stalingrad documentaries including The Attack (54 min.), The Kessel (56 min.) and The Doom (55 min.) in their original uncut English dubbed versions and fascinating supplemental materials.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most sobering war documentary I have ever seen. Jan 12 2007
By D. M. Kneller
One can only imagine the despair felt by the tens of thousands of German soldiers upon realizing that they had been abandoned to their fate at Stalingrad. Several of the German veterans who speak in this documentary (a few of the handful that actually survived)even now more than 50 years later they still have a hard time controlling their emotions when they recall their experiences. In spite of the horror and cruelty there were also examples of simple humanity on both sides. The comments of some of the Russians are quite interesting in that some of them felt a bit of sympathy for the starving freezing Germans some of whom shared their meager rations with hungry Russians. Some no longer saw one another as hated enemies but suffering human beings such as themselves. Altogether an excellent and well made documentary. Albeit a chilling one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Commentaire1 Dec 9 2011
By Dan
Tres bon documentaire. Donne les faits en quatre volets du debut de la prise de Stalingrad jusqu'a la fin. Documentaire d'epoque avec une narration des faits impressionante. J'aurais aimé une version francaise mais seul la version anglaise est disponible sur le DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just good enough Oct 6 2010
By Eagleseye
This does not approach the standard set by the "World at War" documentary series. I find it to be a "watch once" type of informational documentary, just not that well directed.
