The Star, a 2002 Russian film, is our inspiration for this event.
Rather unbelievably, the entire film appears to be on YouTube.
Have a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKwIJJQY1k0
You could also buy it to support the fantastic work that the producers have done making it.
Yes, most excellent film! Highly recommended!
But don't you Russians start getting any ideas with the ladies, please.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Yes The Star is a major inspiration for this event
It shows the superior qualities of the German fighting man over his Russian counterpart
I think Seanebabes looks like the German coming from the hospital that gets killed.

Watched "The Star" again today, it really is a most excellent film. Like all films with subtitles, it means you actually have to watch it, in order to see what's going on! I echo Headshot's comments, watch it on youtube to get a flavour for what we are aiming for but, ideally, buy it! It's a great addition to any WW2 film collection.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
just watched this on YouTube never seen it before
really enjoyed it , now i see what kind of scenario it would be like
I watched Liberation by Mosfilm a few weeks back.

Russia’s giant Mosfilm, one of the largest and oldest film studios in Europe, has teamed up with Google to launch a channel on YouTube, where Mosfilm will be showcasing its feature films free of charge.
ÂThe channel already has 50 films available in HD on its virtual “shelves†and is planning to add five new films each week.
By the end of the year there will be up to 200 films from Mosfilm’s golden collection of several thousand, accompanied by subtitles.
Most importantly, the company can be sure that only legal copies of its productions will be available. Moreover, thanks to YouTube’s state-of-the-art technology, Mosfilm will be able to track down pirate copies of its films.
“The primary objective of the project is to enable internet users to watch legal copies of films in high quality and put an end to illegal use of our productions. YouTube’s special system will make it possible to block off the illegal content,†head of the studios, Karen Shakhnazarov, was quoted as saying.
It is not the first time that Mosfilm has aimed to make it big on the internet. It has recently given access to over 500 films from its golden collection, from Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin to Tarkovsky’s Ivan’s Childhood. The selection features legendary works by Soviet and Russian filmmakers, available for free viewing in the screening rooms of Mosfilm’s online cinema, accompanied by English, French and German subtitles.
Free speech is expensive these days!
