Victory Day Parade in the small town of Verkhnyaya Pyshma in the Urals in Russia.
Very interesting historical part of the parade with unique samples of fighting vehicles for the period of the Second World War.

Panfilov’s 28 men Teaser

I wonder if the movie will stick to the "official" version of the story that lasted until 1991, or if it will stick to more recent facts.

The real truth is still a heroic story - and probably a much more interesting one.

As far as I can see - will be picturized is a legend, created in the period battle for Moscow. I do not see nothing wrong with this - we do not expect the historical conformity in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" or "Fury". Yes, and similar feats have been in fact, but they did not become so well known ...

[FramFramson]

Of course historical conformity is up to the film studio and they can tell any story they like. Every country has their legends and embellishments.

But that is why I personally prefer history books to films! The heroism means so much more when it's real, even if it is not perfect.

There is no doubt that the book is preferable any film, especially if it is a memoir of direct participant in the events. Although I like the old Soviet feature films that have been created by people who have fought themselves. I laid out are here earlier some movies with English subtitles: "They Fought for Their Motherland", "The dawns here are quiet", "The Hot Snow".

[FramFramson]

Of course silly stories can be fun too. A few years ago, a friend of mine gave the entire series of Seventeen Moments of Spring.   Unfortunately I could never make the subtitles work.

You can watch a movie with subtitles are here (to include English subtitles).
Also good movie, but it is unlikely anything could be useful for a wargamers.

[FramFramson]

Haha, no, not much for wargaming. But lots of fun!

I didn't realize the whole thing was on YouTube, with subtitles too - very good! Thanks!

I recommend to watch Norwegian TV series "The heavy water war."
The film is based on real events, dedicated to the efforts of the Third Reich to develop nuclear weapons and British attempts prevent this work.
