The average survival time of a recruit entering Stalingrad is no more than 24 hours, and the average survival time of an officer entering Stalingrad is no more than 3 days.

I didn't expect that the film is more than 80% real: the Soviet army did have a very good sniper, and the German army did transfer a major, the principal of the sniper school, and the two faced off, and the major was killed. .

The ground in Stalingrad was smoking - artillery shelling, buildings burning, and the asphalt starting to melt.

It is said to go through fire and water. This is true in Stalingrad. Entering Stalingrad from the other side of the Volga River, what you see is a scene like hell.

As for Leningrad, during the five-month siege, 1.5 million inhabitants starved to death, each with a daily quota of 25 grams of bread, 4,000 people starved to death when there was less, and 70,000 when there was more.

Enemy at the Gates quotes

  • Nikita Khrushchev: Vodka is a luxury we have. Caviar is a luxury we have. Time is not.

  • General Paulus: My army is not designed for this kind of fighting. Yesterday, yet again I had to promote 25 sergeants to replace the officers shot down by the sharpshooters. Those snipers are demoralizing my people. This city is no more than a heap of ruins, but the Fuhrer's persisting. We should trust the fuhrer's instinct, he always managed to lead us to victory. We shall be at home for Christmas. How are you going to go about finding this young Russian?

    Major König: I'll fix it so that he's the one who finds me.
