Recently a list of the 10 top Russian war movies cropped up on Facebook,
most of which I hadn’t seen. If I were putting together my own list
right now, I’d put the newly released “1942: Unknown Battle” at the top
of the list. It is based on the battles that took place in Rzhev between
January 1942 and March 1943 that turned the tide against the Nazi
invaders. Because of the disproportionate losses suffered by the Soviet
Army, the campaign became known as the “Rzhev Meat Grinder”.
The film recreates the fighting that took place in and around the tiny
farming village of Ovsyannikovo that encapsulated the desperate attempt
by an understaffed, underequipped and undertrained Soviet company
equipped only with small arms against a Nazi battalion with tanks and
heavy artillery and many more men.
