I recently watched Enemy at the Gates, and K19 - Widowmaker.
I have a question about the Soviet Military uniforms, Orders, Medals and the consulting that the Hollywood producers must have had.
Has anyone on this forum ever been asked to consult on these types of movies?
I did notice that in Enemy at the Gates all of the political officers were wearing at least their XX RKKA medals of the early types, as well as some Red Stars, and early OGPWs. I was impressed with the authenticity of the costumes.
In K19 however I did notice that Harrison Ford was a Captain 1st rank (3 stars) when he was debriefing in Moscow, and immediately afterwords when he arrived at his boat, he was a Captain 2nd rank (2 stars). Oversight of the costume designers?
Anyone has any thoughts on this?
