The Winter War

(1992) This film is among the top ten war films ever made. It did not get the fanfare of Stalingrad or the hype of The Rough Riders but this is without a doubt more powerful, better acted, more realistic, more authentic than any war film that you have ever seen. All the equipment comes from the Finnish museums or was donated by sources in Russia. The Russians supplied T-26s, T-28s, a host of different Russian air combat units and all the stunt work in this graphically visual history of the Russian invasion of Finland in 1939. If you liked Stalingrad, Cross of Iron, Attack and Retreat, Punishment Battalion, and The Misfit Brigade, you will love this film. The Finnish producers, actors, and directors did a fantastic job on this one don't miss it! Subtitled only.
