One of the best war films, 9 June 2002
9/10
Author: Ragnar Schwefel from Berlin, Germany

A lot of times I read here by IMBD, that there are only three war-films on the eastern front (Cross of Iron, Stalingrad and Enemy at gates). There are a lot of other european films with this topic and for me this one is the best of all. There are war films better than this, but no one at the eastern front.
