Really good movie, lots of good close ups of the Russian mosin, svt, and Finnish mosins.

This movie was part of the 3 movie series, Das Boote, Stalingrad and the a Winter War.

Why do you think so? Different years, directors and countries. All three are great movies, however not part of any series.

Good movies but my personal favorite is 1955 version of The Unknown Soldier (Tuntematon Sotilas).

Few trained actors in it-great most of actors and extras in it have actually been a part of Winter or Continuation War.
I don't speak Finnish but I'm told even accent and way of talking is from way back before the war.

Tali-Ihantala used to be on there as well but now I can't find it.

Another great Finnish movie is about a StuG III unit at Tali-Ihantala.

I think it is just called STUG III.

The reference to the 3 part series was from my understanding that these directors got together to create a film project that depicted the German/axis side of the war. These 3 films are a result of that.
