Movies: find it!
I read the thread of Kapusta Norm and i thought that would be nice to find errors on films involving CCCP. I suggest to start with a blockbuster: ENEMY AT THE GATES This night i'll watch it Quote:

First: When Kruschev addresses the commisars at the barracks, a portrait shows Stalin in his M43 (or M45?) uniform, but the year is 1942. Second: The soviet anthem played is the 1977 version that replaced the 1944 version. And before 1944 the soviet national anthem was the Internationale.

Re: Movies: find it!
I'm not expert with weapons but if you look at the rifle in the film and compare with a real photo of Zaitsev the scope looks ridicously small...
I don't know if he used small scopes for urban environment so can someone say if my observation is right?! |

Re: Movies: find it!
I saw a bit of Cross of Iron just some hours ago. I can describe it in just one word: Hilarious.

Re: Movies: find it!
This is a period scope and is actually quite large - the Germans had a much smaller one.

Enemy at the Gates :
The one ribbon that Major König wears on his ribbon bar is a non-combatant's version of a commemorative medal for WWI veterans. Not only is it unlikely that an ace WWII sniper would have been a non-combatant in WWI, König wears a combatant's WWI Iron Cross ribbon through the buttonhole of his tunic, directly contradicting the ribbon bar. the NKVD troops responsible for shooting retreating troops are dressed in regular army uniforms, not NKVD issued uniforms, and one of them is firing a Makarov PM. Danilov was a commissar for most of the course of the film, the rank of commissar was eliminated on 9 October 1942, well before the end of the Stalingrad battle. The scope mounted on Vasili's rifle in the movie is of the PU type. On actual pictures dated 1942 another type of scope can be seen, most likely of the (larger) PEM type. |

At any rate the political workers remained embedded in the RKKA. Their authority was much reduced - they could no longer override the unit commander's orders. But their political work (motivation, news dissemination, monitoring the troop's "political correctness", etc) didn't stop. Be that as it may be... Enemy at the Gates was a terrible movie!

Re: Movies: find it!
Agreed.
Enemy at the Gates was a terribad movie. I used to like it, but now its just annoying, it doesnt help either that they play it on TV non-stop. As for cross of Iron I loved it, from what I remember it was awesome. The SS man got what he deserved. hehe. Sometimes it was confusing though and it was kind of hard to tell what was actually going on, but I guess thats a war movie. :P |
