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.
Review
Stalingrad, originally produced for German television, is a compelling and informative documentary about the disastrous German campaign against the Russians during WWII, but there's a moral vacuum at the film's center. The filmmakers fill the screen with incredible original footage taken during the attack. There are also plentiful interviews with German soldiers who survived and family members of those who never returned. Unfortunately, there are only a few interviews with Russian survivors of the German onslaught, military and civilian. The film serves as a valuable historical document of the horrors of war and its human cost and offers insight into military strategy. But the film curiously fails to place the invasion of Russia into a larger historical context. There's an overwhelming focus on the German point-of-view and very little indication as to what extent these soldiers understood the cause for which they were fighting. The filmmakers essentially gloss over the atrocities being committed by the Nazis during Hitler's campaign of expansion. Certainly the loss of life at Stalingrad -- on both sides -- was appalling, but it's hard to see the event itself as a great tragedy, as the film seems to think we should, when it was also a decisive turning point in the war and a pivotal Allied victory against Hitler. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
