A two-episode saga by Yuri Ozerov, a master of staging large-scale battle scenes and grand military epics renowned in the USSR. «Stalingrad» was made with the support of the American studio Warner Brothers, which was rare at the time. The movie «Stalingrad», which can be watched online, is considered part of the director’s war series. The production features an international cast (Soviet, German, and American actors). In other words, the scale of the movie is commensurate with the scale of the historical event on which it was based. Every schoolchild knows that the Battle of Stalingrad marked a turning point in the course of that bloody war. After the 1942 offensive, the opposing sides began preparations for the decisive summer campaign. Hitler’s headquarters planned a large-scale advance on the southern front with the aim of capturing the Caucasus. Stalingrad became the strategic direction of the operation, where the two largest tank formations were to unite. At this time, Soviet intelligence stations became more active in several German cities.
