Interesting music choice for that trailer!

Looks good!

Has anyone here seen the 1993 German version?
I have watched bits on Youtube and it looks good.

Remember though, Enemy at the Gates was centered around the Russian sniper rather than the battle as a whole.

The 1973 book is a great read!

You can pick it up on Amazon. Good movie. An even better one, I thought, was Winter War.

Yes, it is! The best book I have ever read though, is Hell in a Very Small Place about Dien Bien Phu and not far behind that is A Time for Trumpets about the Bulge.


RE: New Stalingrad Movie - Richie61 - 07-03-2013

I am going to have to check out the Bulge book!

A few others I really liked.

Beyond Band of Brothers:
The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters

Biggest Brother:
The Life Of Major Dick Winters, The Man Who Led The Band of Brothers

Cross of Iron by Willi Heinrich

Best book I've read on Stalingrad is Island of Fire by Jason D Mark. A great memoir is Forsaken Army by H Gerlach and best novel Stalingrad by T Plievier.

I prefer the German Stalingrad film (the dubbed version is ruined by awful dubbing, must be watched in the German language with Subs) over Enemy at the Gates which I hated however the book is a good read..

other books worth a mention are..

Stalingrad Memories and reassessments by J Wieder and Glantz first two books of a trilogy, rather dry reading though. Also Croatian Legion by Jason Mark and Death of a Leaping Horseman. Infact Leaping Horseman publishers have several great reads on Stalingrad.
