With sources varying quite a bit, it is estimated that the Germans alone (without their allies) lost 300.000 to 400.000 men in the Battle of Stalingrad.The US lost just a smidge over 400.000 men during THEIR WHOLE TIME IN THE WAR. Just think about what a bloody slog the island hopping campaign in the Pacific was, and now put it into relation to a single battle on the Eastern Front.
Actually, they lost more than the Germans. The Germans lost over some 400,000 men at Stalingrad. The Russians lost over 1 million. The Russians lost a LOT in comparison to the Germans bud.

@@Henskelion I don't really have the actual soundtrack. Though the one I wrote "No idea/Unused" I got the impression that it was similar to the "Battle Outside the Factory" it could be an alternative track that they didn't use for the film and that would explain why I didn't hear it in the film. Thank you, anyway :).
My great grandpa was in stalingrad as a german. He was wounded there badly (3 rips got shot) and took a plane out of there sometime after christmas i think, maybe one of the last flights. He later fought in czech at the end of the war and got captured. He and two others managed to flee but one of them got shot. I know storys how you could hear the russians just one floor above you in the night... He was awarded with an iron cross (i don't know which class) and a close combat award. he had hell of a ptsd... Waking up and screaming the shit out of his body. His name was Heinz Menz...
Respect for your great grandpa. I had a family member who was a dutch volunteer in the grande armée of Napoleon. He died during the retreat from Moscow! I think it is one of the main reasons why the eastern front has always fascinated me.
God bless his soul. I hate people saying that all the Germans were Nazis etc when most of them were normal people that suffered like others. This war was hell for both sides.
the best movie ever made. i can watch this over and over again. it shows the horror in war from every aspect. even through the eyes of the attacker. i feel sympathy for all sides in wars. its someones son that is being killed and most probably noone wanted the war anyway.
@@НесмеянаМнушкина Yes, that is what makes Stalingrad so special. You realize that after all, it was the common german who suffered by the doing of very evil people in their side. Just look at the ending of Stalingrad, the lieutenant and the soviet girl were unarmed and ready to surrender, but were shot without hesitation
Had a family member injured in Stalingrad in Dec and made his way back to Germany. The stories he spoke of were 100x WORSE then any movie has been able to remake to date . Heart go's out to all that had to witness and endure those horrors.
My grandfather Johann Michael Celescki, an Hauptmann (Captain) fought in Stalingrad, survives and come back home (România) from Russia by foot....no train,no car, no nothing! My God forgive all the souls who died not in Stalingrad but all over USSR!!!! P e a c e in the World!!!!!
It's not exactly true. For the FRENCH only: 30 to 40 thousands returned with Murat. 150 to 200 thousands became prisoners, some stayed in Russia forever, some would come back to France after Napoleon final defeat. Around 200 thousands died. For the army as a whole , French soldiers AND allies ( and there was quite a lot ) : 130 000 left before or during the march to Moscow 60 000 took shelters to local peasants and nobles The Austrian, Prussian, and some other troops whom government had good ties with Russia were either sent back, treated above the average, or incorporated to the Russian army. I think we can globally say that 1/3 of the Great army died ( around 200 000, half during battles ), 1/3 became prisoner or deserted, 1/3 made it back without deserting or getting prisoner. More Russian died, but like in WW2, they achieved victory nonetheless. Civilian on both sides also paid a high price.
5:50 to 5:58 is awesome. The tombs with the music symbolize pure death and lost, and from 5:58 to 6:07 you can feel a fighting spirit, like it motives you to go forward, but also tells you about the horrors you are about to face
My grandfather, Sergeant Asofiev Alexander Vasilievich (on the avatar on the right) took part in the Battle of Stalingrad, near the Kotluban station. Thank God, he survived. Eternal memory to all the fallen.
@@СерёгаизТаганрога My great granfathers and uncles also fought in The ww2 but in The team Finland. My great grandfather drove trucks carrying dead germans. In 1941 Finland allied with germany. And some germans were sationed at Lapland where My family is from.
@@o.h2202 The Finland national team is a serious force, both in war and in hockey. ) My wife's grandfather is from Karelia, Veps by nationality, fought in 1942 near Leningrad. Eternal memory to our glorious ancestors, and peace for us and our children. )
This OST encapsulates the sorrow, the destitute of Stalingrad and the Eastern Front... As well of the sheer scale of it all, in the hundreds of thousands up to the millions of soldiers involved in the battle. Every beat of the percussion sounds as if it was one of the hundreds of great guns which unleashed their shells upon the enemy entangled within the city; each shot signifying a live lost in this hellish maze of humans, fire and concrete that formed just one colossal battle among many in this huge and brutal theatre of World War Two.
It's a very good movie but the Russians make also superlative movies like : The Star Zdeza, The white tiger, All the dawns are quite, A local skirmish..
The cover pic ,reminds me of the 1980s print of Sven hassles blitz freeze, containing harrowing descriptions and accounts of the conditions experienced by German forces ,
Los sectores norte y sur del frente fueron terribles Leningrado y Stalingrado. Mi bisabuelo estuvo en el sector norte en la 250 división de voluntarios. Fue en 1943, volvió vivo pero como una persona diferente ,eso cuenta mi bisabuela la cual sigue viva. Esta película y su banda sonora representan muy bien las crudas condiciones del frente soviético sobre todo Stalingrado donde valientes hombres de ambos bandos dejaron un total de 2.000.000 de bajas en una ciudad totalmente arrasada a orillas del rio Volga.
By the way, 79 years past since my grand uncle went MIA after a battle somewhere in Baltics and numerous family members died in that war, I officially nominate WW2 as the dumbest industrial slaughters ever. Yes, there were a lot of heroics from many peoples on both side, but looking at it now, it was just a mistake.
@@ArcticWolf00Alpha0 i think WW1 was a dumber war because in WW2 people fought for their freedom against a dictator and in WW1 people fought because a king got killed
Great uncle was killed there in February of '43-which meant he survived the hellish 'kessel' phase of starvation, brutal cold, and no hope of rescue. A really interesting channel is Crocodile Tears, where he and his team disinter German and Russian remains for proper burial in both countries. It's astounding that the area around modern Volvograd is still littered with thousands of remains due mainly to two totalitarian's egos.
Hitler was insane to invade Russia. What was he thinking? The supply line logistics were impossible especially in the winter and worse in the muddy spring. A terrible waste of life. On both sides.
@@shadoobiedoo2216 Absolutely. There was a reason the Allied armies started the offensive in North Africa and the middle east. It was to cut off Hitlers oil supplies from his allies in that area. Russia had oil and Hitler meant to take it It was just not doable though. Between supply chain logistics and the weather and of course the stubborn resistance of the Russian army. It was just impossible and a terrible waste of good men. .
This is all the music from the 1993 movie. This is the music when Feldman screws up and discharges his rifle on accident and gave away the position of the men.
Superb soundtrack from the superb eponymous film by the great Joseph Vilsmaier! Thank you for this excellent montage! Respect! Prevoskhodnyy saundtrek iz prevoskhodnogo odnoimennogo fil'ma velikogo Iosifa Vil'smayyera! Spasibo za etot otlichnyy montazh! Respekt! Superbe bande son du superbe film éponyme du grand Joseph Vilsmaier! Merci pour cet excelent montage! Respect!
13:30 sounds so bleak. Perhaps best describing the film's main theme: no heroism (=no dramatic music), metallic sounds representing the soldiers stuck in a cruel modern war, everything's dead around them. No sun, no food, no women. Just metal: their guns and bullets, abandoned tanks, shot-down planes.
@@Diego-lt4wm No, the Nazis who got their butts kicked were the war criminals. The job of the Red Army, of any army is to kill the enemy and break their stuff. In Stalingrad and at Midway, our side, the allies did that. No apologies from me on that account.
@@forestmcneir3325 Bruh, you still need to grow up. It is sad for both parts. I bet if russians lost they would be crying over WW2 and same for the americans. War is not something you get excited for and is not something that dehumanizes humanity just like you do
@@Diego-lt4wm I'm not some neocon wacko who'se looking for new wars to start. But when the bad guys decide they want to start a fight, I am all for finishing it, with extreme prejudice. Let he who wants peace be prepared for war. In out time, I am all for war avoidance where that is possible. For instance, withdrawal of all our forces from Europe. The Euros collectively have a population and an economy greater than ours. Why should our troops be over there, protecting them from the Russians whose economy is about the size of Texas and with population in precipitous decline? Same thing with Asia. Japan, S. Korea and Taiwan collectively are perfectly capable of defending themselves against the CCP. America has carried the water for Europe and Asia since WWII. We have our own issues here at home that need attention. Instead, for example we're about to fund a naval force of 11 Ford class aircraft carriers at 13 billion a copy. We need capable, credible *self defense* of ourselves and our economic interests. We don't need never ending entangling alliances that keep large numbers of American forces deployed overseas in perpetuity. If attacked, we need forces capable of self defense and meanwhile, a posture of credible deterrence. But beyond that, I favor a policy of live and let live, but don't tread on me.
Они приходили нас убивать! Спасибо ,отцы, за Победу! They came to kill us! Many thanks, fathers, for the great Victory!Don't wish to anybody to repeat the same. ...against my Motherland!
One of my friends (From Germany) his grandfather was part of General Hoth’s 4th Panzer division, tasked with trying to rescue these men after they were surrounded. They couldn’t even get close due to fierce Russian resistance. He survived the war but ended up being wounded 4 times, commanding first a Panzer II, then he moved to a Tiger for the remainder of Kursk and battle for Berlin. He served 10 years in a Soviet work camp after the war.
Cabe también mencionar a mi humilde entender claro q está película refleja o es bastante fiel a los acontecimientos q se sucedieron en esa batalla xq lo q es más meritoria aún está película

90000 germans prisonners, 5000 alives went home after the war and in East Germany (?) . Jede sieben sekunden ein deutsche Soldat stierbt in Stalingrad am letzten Zeite dieses Kämpfen.
Are you sure that all the 90 000 POWs captured by Red Army at Stalingrad were Germans? I heard that more than a half of this number were other nationalities including hungarians, romanians and even russians who faught with Wermacht against bolsheviks.
@@freelingsrolle lots of them were already vert weak from starvation by the time they surrendered. the overall percentage pf german pows who returned back home was mugh higher in comparison with the soviet pows
@@evgenynovoselov4346 Estimates of Soviet POW mortality averages about 57% in German captivity, in comparison to about ~40% of German POWs in Soviet captvity. Impressive when u consider the Germans grabbed the breadbasket (Ukraine) early on.
Аффтра ты нам показываешь не только Сталинград, но и Ленинград 18:53 Исаакиевский собор - он в Ленинграде находится.. Хороший фильм "Они шли на Восток" (1964) про итальяшек... которые дохли в Волжских степях под Сталинградом...
Reminder: for two months after being cut off, the Axis defenders of the Stalingrad pocket fought off soviet attacks. Herman Goering’s airlift effort failed to adequately supply the minimum supply the defenders needed. Not one day during the two months did the Luftwaffe manage to deliver the minimum supplies. This wasn’t a failure on the part of the Luftwaffe but on the German logistics breakdown which had deprived 6th army of supplies since August 1942. The brave airmen delivered everything they had on hand, including seasonings and even propaganda pamphlets. Still, amidst starvation, blizzards, Russian planes, artillery and tanks, the 6th army fought to the very end. The remains of 6th Army surrendered by February 6th 1942, but some elements kept fighting for weeks afterwards. Hitler’s chief attempted the “Stalingrad diet” in solidarity and the result of less than two weeks of this caused Hitler to order him to cease. The German 6th army destroyed at Stalingrad was the most highly decorated group in the entire German army. It was ably led by Friedrich Paulus, one of the strategists of Operation Barbarossa and a highly competent general. Nearly two million combatants perished during the campaign. It is the deadliest battle in military history, and there should it remain for all time.
Esta música refleja el miedo, la ansiedad, la desesperación, el horror y el heroísmo, en sus expresiones máximas; está a la altura de la magnificencia de la batalla más dura, cruenta, larga y sangrienta de la segunda guerra mundial, en la cual el Ejército soviético derrotó a los ejércitos alemanes y decidió el curso del conflicto en Europa, de modo que la soldadesca nazi nunca se recuperó de esa derrota decisiva, se desgastó significativamente y entendió que la guerra no la iban a ganar; fue el punto de inflexión que colocó definitivamente a los alemanes en situación defensiva y de sobrevivencia. Esos mismos ejércitos soviéticos posteriormente llegarán a Berlín, y en cruenta y larga lucha derrotarán definitivamente a las fuerzas alemanas.
There aren't many 1941/42s around anymore, they had no choice except to use actual T-34s which was affordable and acceptable or use a shitty wooden mockup which would ruin the look and not function. In games this is unforgivable but in movies and reenactments there's nothing we can do
The phrase "450,000 soldiers marched into the city, only 10,000 returned" would make a 97.8% fatality rate (You would have to roll a 20 on a d20 to live, and you only have one roll). Though, the casualties in Stalingrad only make up about half the total soldiers that fought there (50/50 still ain't good chances).
C est vraiment un très bon film,j ai beaucoup de respect pour ces pauvres soldats qui n ont fait q obéir à des généraux à la cons Sans ,aucun respect pour l humanité, Fabrice.
Snafu it was the oil fields that Stalingrad held. Germany was running out of oil and couldnt sustain itself unless it conquered that area. Stalin had began a leadership purge and was in preparing to go to war with Germany. It was of massive strategic importance. The strategic mistakes were mostly due to the fact that the nazi party valued itself over the lives of German citizens. They often and repeatedly ignored the lives of over 300,000 Germans due to propaganda. Thats why they never stocked any winter clothes and never had a follow up invasion to back the blitzkreig. They were overconfident and foolish Had operation blue been a few months earlier, they would have held stalingrad and continued the invasion. I cant comment on who was the good guy in this war, because there wasnt one. Communism was evil, nazism is debatable but the party ethos of "slavic subhumans", is indefensible.
Payback's a bitch - 2 years prior these guys (6th Army) were celebrating in the cafes & brothels of Paris. Had the French fought as hard as the Soviets for their country outcome(s) could have looked different. Great movie, epic bravery & suffering all combatants involved.
