This one not directly related to WWII, but directly relating to the folk tales, history, music and mythology that motivated and continues to motivate the Russian soldier. Eisenstein brilliantly tapped into this vein...

Mother Russia also had some great classical music in her "arsenal."
Shostakovich's 7th "The Leningrad Symphony"
YouTube - Shostakovich 7th Symphony
COmposed and performed during the actual siege. The performance that Spring after the Starvation Winter was a huge event in the life of the city; as detailed in the new Michael K. Jones book "Leningrad."
My favorites are the folk tunes-I believe the singer to be Lidiya Ruslanova; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEJybcGwcJ8

What a tribute to the City Who Wouldn't Fall!

Something Jones soft steps around in this latest account of the Siege of Leningrad is the subject of cannibalism. The NAZIs had calculated that the entire population of the city would perish by the end of Winter but somehow they did not. 100 calories a day in subzero temps without heat? It makes no sense that ANYONE could have survived under these conditions unless you factor in cannibalism. Virtually every survivor must have fed on the dead to some degree. Under Siege: Michael Jones' 'Leningrad' - August 20, 2008 - The New York Sun This is understandably a subject the survivors are loathe to discuss.
