Has anyone here watched the Russian made Great Patriotic War movie called: Zvesda (AKA) The STar.

Sorry I couldnt reply sooner, I was in a Prisoner of War camp-Stalag Luft III, to be exact, and I just escaped.

Anyway, thanks for this too.

Take care--C.

 

Hey Carl,
12,000? yikes.
I could work on some of them, but 12k is quite a bit.
I might be able to find a translated list, I'll have a look around in Russian.
Is there any particular year/battle that you are looking for?
Are you just looking for the names translated?

 

Just finished watching the new Brest Fortress movie (Russian) and excellent and quite emotional film. I recommend it to anyone who is intrested in the conflict. I wonder if the movie can be dubbed into English?

 

Hi F/ thank you much. I would like to PM you on this soon as I can stop and think about it? I have something in mind that you might like?

As far as a translated list? ive never seen one-not that im saying there aint one but-ive never found one-looking under anything I can think of.

As far as awards for certain battles. I have the one for Stalingrad that Irsu sent to me a few months ago. I wouldnt mind having lists of them for battles like: Kharkov, Kursk, Moscow, Sebastopol, Leningrad, and others. But I know that will be a huge pain in the_________fill in the blank ;-)) If you could find a translation for the HoTSU for Kursk, that would be great. Im just starting to research the DKiGs for Kursk, I have Stalingrad completed as best as I can. That one was a minor headache compared to what I think Kursk has and will turn out to be? Whats taking me so long on Kursk is that im using about 10 or so diff sources just for a good German Order of Battle, and ever one of those sources have things that differ. Im trying to sift through all the BS, and come out with one smelling like Roses. So far, ive been several weeks on this one, and STILL finding discrepencies in them.

 

I will be watching this-courtesy of ray, and I want to see if the German Soldier who looks like a younger Humphrey Bogart, survives ;-))

 

The whole movie is in Russian, may I ask how you are going to watch it?

 

Same way I watched: Stalingrad: Dogs Do You Want To Live Forever, Stalingrad, Der Untergang, Tankova Brigada, Come and See, and a few others that Ray posted. Ill not know much of what is said but ill get the "Jist" of it ;-))

 

Ahhhh, sneaky little bugger...

And I beleive I was the first to post "Come and See" a few years back (take that ray!).

 

I havent been a wise-a$$ lately :lol::lol: Also, I thought of saying: "With my own two eyes". but I thought that might be pushing it a bit and couldnt afford another long stint with Hiltz and Ives in Ze Cooler ;-))

 

Brest Fortress is available with english subtitles.i bought a copy off amazon recently.
a lot of good ww2 films from russia/german can be found with a little research
and they will be english subtitled.

 

How do you rate the movie? From the few stills ive seen, it LOOKS good but with some childish elements thrown in by the Russian filmmakers.

 

I really enjoyed watching Brest fortress.
Minus: like most russian films it does have some propaganda and the tale is not always true to the word.
Plus: real bloody,lots of action,good camera shots.
I am not going to pick it apart.It was fun for me to watch and I have watched it twice so far.
you can probably download it and try it out for a while.then i think you will want to add it to your collection of russian films.
it is as good a film as the Star.So if you liked that one you won't be disappointed.
