Not sure what's worse...war or a tickle in the ear.

Decently executed but nothing I haven't seen befor. A little confused as to why they were depicting trench warfare in ww2?

@ChaosEngine I imagine because trench warfare was actually used in a few cases during WW2. From Wikipedia:

"Combined arms tactics where infantry, artillery, armour and aircraft cooperate closely greatly reduced the importance of trench warfare.

It was, however, still a valuable method for reinforcing natural boundaries and creating a line of defence. For example, at the Battle of Stalingrad, soldiers on both sides dug trenches within the ruins. In addition, before the start of the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets constructed a system of defence more elaborate than any other they built during World War I. These defences succeeded in stopping the German armoured pincers from meeting and enveloping the salient."

Informative. Thank you.

Interesting mix of sowjet era propaganda and modern day popculture..glorifying war.. says more about our generation than boyhood thats for sure..

And to expend on it for a bit, in order for them to use the iconic Tiger, a scenario with plenty of entrenched infantry is much more appropriate than any mobility-based warfare. Great tool to force a breakthrough, even greater tool to prevent a breakthrough.

For instance, the handful of combat ready Tigers deployed with the 502nd during the battles around Lake Ladoga in '43 were used almost exlusively in two roles: either to strengthen entrenched friendly infantry against attacking armor or to throw Soviet infantry out of trenches seized in previous assaults.

The entire area of operations around Leningrad, including the supply lines around Lake Ladoga, was one big trench warfare, with massive use of artillery. Armoured spearheads only enabled the following infantry to advance from one line of trenches to the next. Extensive breakthroughs and large scale encirclements were only possible in the steppes further south. The marshes and dense forests up north reduced everything to a meat grinder.

Damn, to bad Its a Russian company so I won't go near it.

I don't think anyone knows war - or does war movies - like the Russians.
