		Stalingrad shows the gut wrenching non-glory side of the nitty-gritty of combat and brings home to those who have been there the non guffaw when you hear, and see, how one soldier loads both his weapon...and his pants.
		Stalingrad shows well the realities of close combat and what the cumulative experience can do and often does to the human psyche.
		I would concur with the other reviewers in terms of Stalingrad incorporating the best, that is to say, the reality of Das Boot and Platoon 'sans' the hype when the business at hand becomes one of your basic kill or be killed.

		I Believe that the name of Stalingrad, should replace Volograd, as hundreds of thousands on both sides fought and died because of the name of the city it was defended and attacked with fanatcisim that changed the course of the War.

		Stalingrad surveys the misery of the battle of Stalingrad, the winter siege that cost the lives of almost one and a half million people, Russian defenders and German invaders alike.
		In fact, the 90,000 men who lived to surrender (all but 5,000 of whom died in captivity) did so only when they were completely out of fuel, medicine, and ammunition, and had no other means to resist; but the producers, of course, permit to trace of pride in military accomplishment to enter into their film.
		Of all his works Stalingrad stands out as on of those films that are enjoyable to watch if u are into "realistic war movies" (realistic compared to hollywood) but which fall short when it comes to story telling and depth of the subject.
