OPERAZIYA BAGRATION!!!

Your pathetic US in-fucken-vasion of normandy was pathetic.You all cowards who refuse to fight wthout a toilet paper.

[DanishArmy]

@Cheburashka207 Everyone fought bravely dont be dumb, you forget that the americans were fighting the japanese as well who were the most fanatical of the opponents during the war.

What german tank is that? 5:45

[MrSrgj]

German Panzers "Tiger" is original.

Submachine gun MP-38 and MP-40 are also originals.

During WW2 Germans left a lot of tanks and ammunition.

Russian saved them and put in museums.

[18Vergeltung88]

[echutt3r]

very good movie,but not enough sound

[uveolo]

i loved russian film !!!! thank u russian people for saving my country Poland!!!!!

[DeathFeast16]

in soviet russia they make war-movies where german tanks look like they were made out of plastic...

in soviet russia they make war-movies where 1 soviet tank-crew is killing 5.000 german soldier and and 10.000 german tanks...

in soviet russia they make war-movies where 5 soviets won the war...

its an old movie yeah but its unrealistic and just dumb -.-

[DeckerBens]

@DeathFeast16

In capitalistic america they make a war-videogames where 1 british and 2 american soldiers killed 1000000 RUSSIAN special forces units and fucked up RUSSIA.

In capitalistic america they make war-videogames where 3 capitalists won the wor which they begun...

Its a new videogames yeah but its unrealistic and just dumb -.-

[DeathFeast16]

@DeckerBens

im not american,im german if thought that.

but if u believe it or not i hate videogames that are unrealistic and dumb like that too.

;-)

[aluston91]

@DeathFeast16 Did you ever bean under tank a? Not realistic -this movie more then realistic -total real war world2 in Russia.

[DeathFeast16]

@aluston91

no i never were under a tank.

and what is war world i only know world war II ?

sorry but the tanks are made from plastic :D

i never would have fear from a tank made out of plastic xD

i love realistic war movies and also old movies, classics you know but this is sh*t !

[th3gtr]

Yet another good war film that I have not heard of. Das Boot, Stalingrad, War and Peace, Japan's Longest Day,...none of these movies are well known in the U.S. It's hard trying to find someone who knows war movies besides Saving Pvt. Ryan, Glory, or The Patriot.

[racorek]

ill3stV1llain Nothing beautiful in human death. Especially when you fighting for own live. To see 'greatest kick' maybe you should see some hollywood productions?...

[noodleman1337]

Does anyone know where I can buy this movie? In English, or in Chinese?

[ill3stV1llain]

9:47 may be the greatest kick in movie history. One of the sweetest, cheesiest fight scenes ever.

[smith3451]

haha, the director obviously wanted to get the aircraft in the same pan shot, so made them fly under 100ft, silly

[lorddinaire]

Great movie!!.. What's the name in English?...

[flankerpraha]

@lorddinaire The right translation is Liberation but on imdb is it under title The Great Battle.

[Lama006]

colosal music, love it!!!

[MalteAdam]

on 4:30

lol

[nazz24845]

that is amazing when the T34 tanks over that other tank no pun intened

[AntiGravDisclosure]

Hi kklonkic. Do you know where i can get the full series on dvd?

[BitvaZaMoskvu]

Good! Where you got off the movie, that I'm looking for weeks :S Greetings!

[DOSsector]

greatest reconstruction !

[davvvvo]

mah god the mersersmitts dosent look like they should those are blocks formed the real ones is rounder not like some thing made ot treea

why did i sat rgreea for good sake

[erwinfoxjj]

Ok,. all you guys do remember that to get a hold of ORIGINAL WWII German Tanks is VERY hard. In Band of Brothers the Tiger is a T-34 conversion, in fact, many German tanks in many movies are T-34 conversions or some type of Conversion. If you want to see original tanks and original gear and original conditions, watch historical footage. Otherwise, this is a great MOVIE, not documentary. It gets the point across and I don't even know Russian.

[daniellekki]

FIGHT PROCHOROVKA...Tank against Tank..Man against Man..dense smoke ..fought until dark.

[Jankesization]

hmm

[Jankesization]

o kurwa to jest dopiero film 10/10^^

[gangster1912]

może i ładny ale troche syfu też jest ,czy tu jest cały film od początku do końca czy kawałek aby

[panzerdivision100]

Die Panzerschlacht am Kursker Bogen-militärisch"Operation Zitadelle" genannt-verlief letztendlich unentschieden und hatte keine entscheidende Wirkung auf den weiteren Kriegsverlauf. Sie war eigentlich sinnlos-wie der ganze Krieg/wie alle Kriege!

Soviel dazu+viel Spass noch beim Film.

[m741ex]

in Prokhorovka tank battle(12 july 1943 ) soviet troops had T34-76 medium tanks& t 70 light tanks(videos of that tanks you can see in my channel)/ Chirchill/ SU 76/SU 122 self prop gun & may be SU152 heavy self prop gun Zveroboy(Beastkiller).

Germans had Tigers/Stug/T3-T4 pz/T34-76 pz (r)/T2 pz & they did not use air force.

in that movie we cannot see original tanks only T34-85 which were after Kursk& bad replics of German tanks based on Soviet tanks

[flankerpraha]

@m741ex: Weel, remember how war films were made at that time, e. g. Battle of the Bulge, this is very good for 60's.

[m741ex]

i think in future some one will make new movie about Prokhorovka with original tanks & war conditions.

this movie was great but if you know about Kursk it seems not original.tanks/planes/etc

[SgtBastard101]

Is that "Stalin's Organ" playing in the background? LOL

[1993heavenshallburn]

NICE!

[reaper2ooX]

lol 9:47

[lat71]

I have seen this video in the 70's. And i have been looking for this film in the net. Gladly, I have found it after looking at tali ihantala. thanks a lot for the video.

[brotherfromlatvia]

SUPER SUPER SUPER RUSSIA

N FILM

[bildaloco]

I wonder where the beatup German halftrack at the :55 point of the film is today?

[Sterve23]

I think it has superb rare footage regardless of certian inaccuracies

I would love to get the original version

[bildaloco]

Has anyone made a DVD of this series yet with English subtitles? Looks like a superb production, thanks for posting.

[ryan3571]

I'd also like to know if we can get this here.

[D4M4G3R87]

No... Only the russian DVD's, no subs and a german edition, dubbed and no subs too...

[grummeper]

Osvobozhdenie !!!!

[patrikasLTL]

north africa: 4 german divisions (at most, but let's not under-rate the numbers)

western front: 13 german divisions (fact)

eastern front: 330 german divisions (fact)

where did world war 2 happen??

[hunbalam]

forgot the axis alliance, the italians and japanese.

the battles of Middle east, Iran Irak, Etiopia, Indochina, China, and India

thats why is called a world war, but i preffer to call an interimperialist war

[patrikasLTL]

the decisive battle was fought in europe. if america got 'invaded' with japanese armies who were running out of oil and if POSSIBLY occupied the united states of america then what a difference would that make to the outcoming in europe?

soviet armies CRUSHED the japanese in manchuria in 27 days while the japanese took nearly a year to capture it.

[cp627]

@patrikasLTL you forget the pacific theater.....and the account that the russian never had to make a beach landing which the western allies had to do more than several times

[ABDACOM]

@patrikasLTL the number of troops for the north african theatre and the western front were far higher than that, but still, the German War Machine invested more than 60% of its forces (60% was the lowest they ever invested, they invested far more during the earlier periods of the war)

[pimpolympic]

@patrikasLTL

Um, around the world?

;)

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Do you believe that there were only 4 German Divs. in N. Africa, or 13 on the West Front!??! You are very misinformed.

[patrikasLTL]

@christof139

Not exact, but the point remains. Like when i was watching discovery about north africa, the narrator went in an epic voice on El Alamein: "Every british howitzer arrived to the battle, summing up a total of 200 artillery pieces pounding the german positions on that faithful day." 200 howitzers? 200 howitzer barrage was the DAILY german breakfast on Voronezh. One survey in the 1980s showed that more than 90% of americans were unaware of USSR involved in ww2 at all! THE IGNORANCE!!!

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, 200 Howtzrs. on a small part of the ~64Km. El Alamein line. 1,000 arty. pieces were used durng the final attacks & concentrated on sections of the line where needed. Every Brit Commonwealth soldier, tank, truck, other weapons & ammo had to be transported by SEA from thousands of miles away, and the same for the Axis except their ditance was a bit shorter. Seems a lot of USSR citizens were not aware that WWII was fought across the entire globe.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Yes, your figures for Axis troops in the West & Africa are very, very low. Do you want a list? How about the ~440,000 all wheel drive trucks & jeeps the USA sent to the USSR that enabled the motorization of much infantry & arty. so they could keep up with the armored spearheads that the Germans continually cut off & destroyed previously because not enough USSR infantry could keep up with the armor? What about the uranium the USA gave to the USSR for its nuke weapons program? Etc.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Discovery & many other TV shows are frequently wrong in the info. they give. You are IGNORANT yourself. Many people do not know the full story of WWII.

[patrikasLTL]

@christof139

If you expect me to read this novel, you are wrong. Did i seriously insult your ego or something? Chill.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Novel? You must not read much if you consider a few paragraphs a novel!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Insulting to those that served back then but not me as Boobtube is full of misinformed yo-yo's. History should be factual, & not emotional, twisted, incomplete, etc.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Sorry, I forgot that Lithuania & the USSR at the time of WWII did not have much of a navy & not enough radios, field telephones & cables etc. Well, the USA sent the USSR over 1 million miles of field telephone cable, field telephones, radios, ~1,000,000 tons of armor plate I do believe, thousands of aircraft & tanks that the USSR badly needed, & produced ~40-60% of TNT etc. for USSR arty. etc. shells, etc. etc. etc. Read of the immense Pacific Theater & etc.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Italian Campaign is also interesting, as it tied up ~500,000 German & Italian Facist troops at their peak strength, & the terrain was all mountains except for some small areas of coastal & river plains. Like fighting in the Caucasus Mtns. except theose were fought through the short north-south width while in Italy the long length of the Appenine etc. Mtns. were fought through & the Italian pennisula was narrow allowing the 2 German Armies to concentrate.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL , North African Axis forces: 10th, 15th, 21st Pz. Divs, 90th, 164th, 334th, 999th, Hermann Goering Motorized Divs., von Broich/Manteufel Para Div, ramcke Para Bde., 19th Flak Div, 1.66 Tiger Bns., & a host of other smaller German Flak, Engineer, etc. units plus many Italian Armored, Motorized & Inf. Divs. & other units. 130,000 German & 120,000 Italian troops surrendered in Tunisia alone in May, 1943.

[Vykuk123]

@christof139 U sound like a whining butthurt loser.

[christof139]

@Vykuk123, No, that's you. Unfortunately Stalin's purge of the USSR officer corps before WWII hurt the military extremely badly & the USSR got its buttocks kicked for the first 1.5 - 2 years of the war, losing many more trooops than the Axis did. Stalin was hated so much that 1 - 2-million USSR citizens served in the German military in Ost Bns. & as Hiwis (volunteers) attached directly to German units. You live in a dream world.

[Vykuk123]

@IgnorantChristof139 U are seriously full of shit.

[christof139]

@Vykuk123, You know nothing of the history of Stalin & WWII if you think what I stated is BS. You are the ignorant one. In fact, post WWII USSR military & political documents tell of Stalin's purging of the officer corps etc. The Ost Bns.& Hiwis are also well documented & they were simply anti Stalinist & anti Bolshevik citizens of the USSR. Grow-up little child.

[Vykuk123]

@christof139  Whatever loser.

[christof139]

@Vykuk123, You're looking into & talking to your mirror again little boy loser. Ha ha ha!! Go watch TV or something that will will keep your unkowledgeable & ignorant little mind occupied.

[Vykuk123]

@christof139 Whatever loser.

[christof139]

@patrikasLTL, Japanese Navy was alo large & excellent. ~7,800 Japanese aircraft were lost during the Okinawan campaign to USA & British Naval etc. forces in ~83 - 100 or so days. By the beginning of 1942 (USA entered war on Dec. 7th 1941, less than 6 months after the Nazis attacked the USSR) the USA was producing more aircraft than any other nation, & in 1944 alone produced ~100,00 aircraft. You're missing somethings.

[RCAF413SQN]

@patrikasLTL Now you know why Uncle Joe was so happy all the time. Seriously, we must remember the great sacrifices made at the Russian battles.

[pyroman645]

@patrikasLTL hitler must've really hated those russians

[bardokssj]

@patrikasLTL in POLAND

[dokomana]

@patrikasLTL In POLAND.

[Cstebler]

@patrikasLTL Theres one big problem with your theory. You never mentioned the Pacific. The Allies were fighting more than just the Germans hence why it was call "WORLD WAR II"

[patrikasLTL]

@Cstebler

it was a 90% navy / air war

then i should mention Battle for Britain, Soviet streak in Manchuria, Italy in East Africa, Black Sea sea war, Mediterranean sea war, North Europe sea / land war in Norway etc etc, but that wouldn't make an elegant comment now would it?

[lordaltair]

@Cstebler Ya, and weren't the Russians with the Germans at the beginning even? Till Hitler threw a shit load of troops and tanks at them that is.

[lordaltair]

@lordaltair Mind you I'm not gonna say the Russians are evil. Far from it, they helped greatly by taking the brunt of the German army. In terrible weather conditions that most of the allied forces would faint over. Thanks to Russian for its hard work. I will critique the leader ship though, think you guys could have done a lot better with a leader besides Stalin... would have had a lot more people still around instead of him killing more than 30 million of his own.

[lordaltair]

@lordaltair Also, not impressed with your guys specialists... the ones that mowed down lines of the conscripts as the fell back after getting slaughtered by the germans... that just isn't cool...

besides that two thumbs up for Russian being on allied side =)

[blahbutt23]

@patrikasLTL don't forget about the far eastern front that in itself is the most least talked about excluding the american battles

[Dajjaass1]

This is very good film with 8 parts..And songs in it is good,neither

[Ilmaripoika]

5:45 What is the tank trying to be?? A Panther? HAHA It looks somehow a cheap movie. Tigers? lol German airplanes? lol That wierd tank at 5:45? triple lol.

[efunk1982]

In reality it is a Soviet tank IS2.

But the TIGERS tank are real.

[Pershingtank]

IS-2 as a King Tiger.

[Shatnerpossum]

Not a very convincing substitution, but better than the M48s in "Patton."

[boyyeudoi101090]

0:54 looks like human wave tactic :D

[halonsoxx]

i dont like those airplanes where the hell were the IL2 STURMOVIKS????????

[delta617]

I think this is Jak-18, probably they didn't have any Il-2's for this movie ;)

[vlad9vt]

i like hand to hand combat crews in river

[wuestenfuchsxy]

this film isnt so good.

You never see how a few tigers or 88 kills a mass of T34.

This film shows heroic soviet soldiers who kill all germans in their way. the real soviet soldier was treated like cattle in a slauther house by their own leaders, there was no place for heroism for simple soldiers. In this film I see nearly the same Propaganda like US films.

I hope we will see a historical correct film with a view on both sides of the nomansland anytime.

[halonsoxx]

mayby but was not the t-34 was superior to the tiger in speed?? however mayby t34 ammo was not efficient against tiger

[DanielVonRommel]

Tiger has a crushing superiority at long range against ALL T-34s, with only the KV1 and the KV2 being able to put up a fight, T34s with veteran crew were extremely dangerous to tigers at close range, as they could disable the German tank's tracks and encircle it. Or just pop a shot at close range right in the Tiger's turret ring.

[halonsoxx]

yeah and in the west front the sherman overr pass 5 to 1 units to tiger but obviusly tiger was a sherman killer, do u know if m18 hellcat combat againts german tanks?????

[DanielVonRommel]

The M18 is a an M10 "On steroids". It's light armoured, fast, and has a mean fast shooting cannon. It was very effective against Panzer IIIs and IVs, as long as it had the first shot and adequate infantry support. Basically, an M18 couldn't "attack", because a single shot from a Panzer would have most likely destroyed it. It was therefore used as quick moving AT artillery to defend chokepoints and to ambush tank convoys. M18's has moderate success against Panthers thanks to succesfull tactics.

[DanielVonRommel]

The M18s destroyed a few Tigers after having encircled them, but they could do next to nothing from the front.

[efunk1982]

The T34 / 85 was quicker than the TIGER, however, for it the TIGER had also a stronger armour plating. The main gun was almost the same.

But the German armoured occupying was better trained.

Only to the comparison: the Germans had about 2000 tigers in the east front. The Soviets built about 50000 T34 tanks in four-year war.

[drusik]

Actually, only 1,355 Tiger I and 487 Tiger II (King Tiger) have been built. This is for all the fronts.

[Amerikaner25]

Whoa... I remember seeing something like this as a kid (maybe this movie) but... Just "WOW!"

This movie is absolutely awesome! Why haven't I come across it before? =)

Thanks for the upload!

[goyim1999]

i know this movie (dvd) is available (russian language only) its a 5 part movie it lasts about 7 hours.

trully an epic movie!.

(i hope to see it in a english dubbed or subtitled version someday.)

[artur8]

Please, does anybody know where can I find this movie for download?

Thanks!

[PocusUK]

lol yep 10:12 seconds quite possibly the worst reinactment of someone getting shot, looks like he's searching for his cigarettes

[monsterzeroJr]

Stupid Soviet garbage from the Cold War era. I was unfortunate to grow up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. I've seen lots of that shit on TV as a young kid. Let me tell you something, the Germans were trying to do the world a great favor by turning Russia into East Germany. It is unfortunate they failed.

[AlexanderTch]

You stupid moron. Great movie, very humanitarian. You are immigrant, man without motherland, but even now you came to watch russian movie. On other side of curtain movies were really propaganistic and stupid.

Enjoy your 30 silver pieces for now.

[goyim1999]

im an american, and this movie is great!!

im not to proud to give credit where credit is due.

soviets really went all out for this awesome movie.

[karangano]

donde puedo descargar la pelicula y la banda sonora viva rusia

[karangano]

tremenda banda sonora deesta pelicula un fenomeno yclasico del cine belico no sela pierdan

[notfromlongbeach]

only problem I saw... the russians flew in formation RARELY they also had very few air-related deaths, in ratio to other countries

[wicek777]

Not bad. How old is this movie?

[karangano]

osvobozhdenie en español liberacion very good film

[championofcathay]

39 years

[Fridomfry]

Thanks a 1,000 time for putting this vid online! Russians really made the best war movies - and also wrote some outstanding war books: Read Soljhenitsyn's "August'14"!

That very day, in June 1941, many people in France opened bottles of champagne (the ones which hadn't been stolen by the Germans).

[Mtmelendez]

The very definition of EPIC!

[acerb45666555]

great movie. 5*****

[dragmio]

I love it when a guy jumps and kicks another with both legs. I can't imagine anyone doing it in WW2. Today, maybe. If that someone played too much PS3. :)

[rusbp]

it's was also in TSAR ATMY before WW1.

[Nevsly]

Impresionante secuencia, aunque no es la mejor de la película comparada con la parte de Berlín. Lo del tipo del puñal es una pena, pero cuando se rueda con planos tan largos y tal cantidad de extras fallos como ése no se pueden rectificar y casi siempre se cuela alguno (en "El sodlado Ryan" a uno le explota la cabeza tres veces en la escena de la flak por un error en el montaje, cada técnica tiene sus trampas).

A ver si aparece de una vez la versión doblada al castellano...

[Jimderkaisser]

lol the last seconde of this film was so Gay ...

[brokencasket]

They need to call "Mythbusters"!

there weren't hundreds of Tigers as they want you to believe...

[AlexanderTch]

You lie, there were hundreds of Tigers, around 200 on both sides of arc.

[Murikov]

I have the whole miniseries in DVD! But this is not "Operation Barbarossa" 1941 as you say in the title, thats "Operation Zitadelle" in Kursk 1943!! But anyway, thanks for uploading!

[AlexanderTch]

You lie, there were hundreds of Tigers. 200 Tigers on both sides of arc.

[Murikov]

All in all there were just exactly 146 "real" Tigers (Panzer VI, the real main tank of this battle)in the Kursk-battle. Many russians believed, that they saw many other "Tigers", but in reality there were just many Panzer IV with extended gun barrels so they looked a bit like "Tigers". In the other way there were some "Panzer III", over 200 "Panthers", 90 "Elefant's" and a little number of "Brummbärs".

[Murikov]

And sorry, I wanted to say that the Panzer IV was the main tank in the battle and not the Tiger as I writed...

[championofcathay]

yeah I think the Russians at the time typically referred to any German tank as a "tiger" and any assault gun or tank destroyer as a "ferdinand"

[mayorreisman]

See minute 10 the guy with the knife when is shooting and wounded. It's hilarious such bad acting. I can't believe it.

[championofcathay]

he was completely dazed. it looks unreal but sometimes people do that after getting blown away by an explosion and such.
