Thanks. I just finished watching it (being a war buff), it’s great to see it from the German perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it! Another German film about Stalingrad came out in 1993. I don’t think it’s quite as good as this 1959 film, but it does have one of the most intense, heart-in-your mouth scenes you’ll see of a Russian tank assault:

There’s also a Russian-made Stalingrad film that came out just last year. I’ve not seen it, but I’ve heard it’s unfortunately rather poor, with a love story taking front and center in the plot. Basically Pearl Harboring the story. Bleah.
