I guess this was Chuck Norris' goat. it had escaped by killing 100.000 elite guardians. This goat is the most dangerous being on entire Eastern Front during year 1941  >:(
Most likely, that goat has got a bad concussion and severe wounds by shrapnel, but managed to run away in a stance of traumatic shock, which, in RL, isn't actually all that uncommon, or impossible.
BTW, in fact, you may happen to get lucky (extremely) not to get hurt by a closely situated grenade explosion (apart from inevitable concussion). But the odds are, of course, strongly against you.

One of the best Italian movie of the last years  :D (yes I know it's quite old (2002) but Italian movie producion sucks).

The film recreates perfectly the conditions of the Italian soldiers who fought in North Africa, where Mussolini sent shoe polish instead of ammo, water, fuel and reinforcement stuff. :-\

This is the scene of the retreat: El Alamein - La Linea del Fuoco 9/11

"Ballad of a Soldier" is a really good Soviet movie. It was made during the height of the Cold War but it is actually very realistic in the portrayal of the Soviet Union during WWII. Khrushchev loved the director so much that he let him do almost whatever he wanted in film.

Anyone know the name of this movie?

Eastern Front 1941 War movie1/8 Днепровский Рубеж

Hahahaha! It looked like the old soviet partisan films where german soldiers was shot like flys, even the soviet solider wasn't pull the trigger. XD Anyway how much budget got that film? Independent fanfilms looks better than that. Anyways recently I watched the film "Satlingrad" and that gives a really realistic perspective of the Eastern front.

Soviet WW2 short film (1941, English subtitles) part 1 of 2

Here I found some short film from '41. XD Contains two nazi extras whos very evil.

lol, "Satlingrad"  ;D
Stalingrad is made by Germans. And it wasn't such cash production like in Hollywood. That's why it's better. It fits to thinking people, while EatG is produced to make money and brainwash poor folks.

nice movie with good battle scenes!

But when do we see such movies from the german perspective?  :'(

Out of my view the movie "Stalingrad" from 1993 was the best

Some of the best films about war, made in USSR (so it is widely accepted):
"Они сражались за родину" (They fought for the homeland)
based on Michail Sholokhov's novel
"А зори сдесь тихие" (The dawns are quiet here)
director Stanislav Rostotski
No politics, in my opinion, just stories of war. Rather heavy.
These films are, unlike modern ones, not much into picture, but would give a huge handicap, IMO, in means of the story and the feeling.

The last battle scene of Brest-Litovsk movie (14th) is just epic - but the others are kinda strange: it seems that soviets are close-combat-beast-that-owns-everything-and-eat-landser-for-lunch. Well, just my opinion.

I should see the movie "Das Boot" though, seems to be a great film.

Told from Both the Chinese and Japanese perspectives City of Life & Death is a pretty good, albeit grim film about the Nanking Massacre. 
Not one to watch with the kids, be warned!
Here's part 1:
