Battle for Sevastpol
...
A great series is The Attackers, Parts 1 and 2. Russian fighter squadron with male and female pilots. The Russians make fun of their own political officers. You can find it on Youtube and Prime. Subtitles.
I'm into Tanks, so ......The Beast, (Afghanistan), The White Tiger, and Tank, (European front).
Thanks for the other titles.
"Night Witches" Also good. Soviet women proved you don't have to have a pair to have a pair.I think I watched that or several like that. One was about a bunch of female pilots in biplanes that dropped bombs by hand - on trains and artillery IIRC?

I think I recall reading at some point, that one of the mistakes Germany made in attacking the USSR, was calculating the number of fighters who would oppose them based on the male population figures.
It's the Eastern Front, 1944. The Russians are pushing the German Army back through Romania. Major Kurt Fleischer, war-weary commander of an elite troop of German soldiers, is ordered to escort a female scientist, Professor Anna Kappel, from the Nazi Occult Department, the Annenerbe, into a mysterious forest behind enemy lines. His orders come from the highest level, Himmler himself. If the mission fails; there will be no reprieve for him and his men. A bona fide suicide mission in Fleischer's eyes. Accompanied by Heinrich Metzger, a psychotic SS Major, they move deep into the forest. As Fleischer's men begin to die in horrific and inhuman ways, he realises there is something in the trees that is far more deadly than the Russians. But turning back is not an option. Before his troop is wiped out, Fleischer needs to discover what Anna wants, deep within the forest, and who or what is intent on slaughtering them before they get there.
Good movie and well worth watching.Another good series......Russian women (not snipers)......The Dawns Here Are Quiet
