Not only that, theres a long text, lenght of few sentences, in the very start of the film, in german, and they have not even bothered to translate that.

Bring me the head of publisher company CEO.

Cross Of Iron was a German Production shot in Yugoslavia with some American and English actors and IIRC dealt with the withdrawl and evacuation of Sevastapol.

I do remember almost crying with joy that the Russians in the film actually had T34's.

Oh, really? I thought it was US or English production because of all the english actors. Well, that explains it..

I might go watch it once again now..

Found some information about the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074695/
Don't care about the review though, most reviews on that page aren't very good :)

You should definitely check it out. One of the best war movies I've seen. The special effects aren't anything like in SPR or so, but it's 25 years older too and who cares about them anyway, if the movie is good. It's very realistic, they've even taken into account the wide use of PPsH's with german soldiers. There are also some T34/85's present too in few scenes..

The plot, as Anlushac said, is about germans soldiers withdrawing from russia at the end of the war.

The english spoken with english accent by some german soldiers bothered a bit, but that's just a minor thing. Glad they didn't try to use a german accent.

Definitely worth checking. It's got some informative value too.

The panzer commander is Robert Shaw who was in many films including that one and I was suprised to find out he was that old sea dog bloke in Jaws who ends up being the last person to be eaten in the first film. And yes, watching the film on Easter monday although I only saw the last 25 minutes or so(thank god!) and it is terrible, although it's so bad it's good. I watched it on holiday in German and it was still bad to look at visually with modern(at the time) tanks and all.

Correct me if Im wrong here but I always lived under the impression that the BOB took place in the Winter (hence every other portrayal of the battle, in films, games, tv series etc. being in Winter with very deep snow) whereas this film rather strangely seems to be taking place in the middle of a desert...
Hmm
