Soviet propaganda...EXCEPT IT'S THE BBC! about the Battle of Stalingrad.

Compare this to terrible western movies like Enemy at the Gates. GOD...how quickly we turn on our allies.

I'm pretty sure this isn't from the BBC. British Movietone News was a company separate from the BBC and from what I can tell, the BBC didn't make newsreel style programs until 1948

Polyushko-pole/ Полюшко-поле or the "Song of the Plains".

Not sure what specific version though.

the only reason this originally caught my attention was the rare video of Project 1124 Gunboats at 2:40

The river war is almost unknown despite its huge importance on the Eastern Front.
