I recently watched Eisenstein's classic and the message for both invaders and traitors was unmistakable. Costumes of the teutonic knights are great. Their bishops have little reverse swastikas embroidered into their vestments and the foot soldiers are wearing a slightly medevalized version of the M17 "coal scuttle".
The fact that Nevsky's image on the order is actually that of the actor from the film closes the loop.
