(the previous reference was deleted) The quintessential Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and others. The successor Wild Geese movies paled in comparison. Probably a model for future superstar movies with impossible missions in later years. The build up, training, planning, execution and dealing with the new circumstances in the movie are interesting. So many great moments, have to post the whole movie. Topics include morality, loyalty, double dealing, corruption etc. Watch it for yourself. Great 1970s film.

I saw this a while back, I learn so many new things here. Sad story, kind of a prelude to the new Communist Revolution here in America? Our youth turned against us?

When war breaks out in 1941, Lyudmila joins the army. She turns out to be a natural sniper, and her impressive skills make her stand out. When wounds force her from the battlefield, she travels to the United States to press for a second front. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Sevastopol
This story is based on documentary facts and refers to “Khatyn novel”, written by Adamovich. The authors have chosen the exact places and events that have become a symbol of people’s misfortune and suffering. Flera is a sixteen years old boy, dug up carbine among torn of barbed wire, rusted machine-gun belts and shot helmets. Then he went to the forests to the partisans. At the very beginning of the film, Flera is a kid, but after going through the horror of the fascist punitive actions, he becomes an adult, frighteningly adult and becomes an old man. The war distorted once tender, childish features of the boy and turned them into wrinkles. The protagonist, driven by a sacred feeling of the fight against the Nazi invaders, in defiance of his mother goes to the partisan detachment. The circles of Hell of the fascist atrocities in Belarus are rushing before his eyes like the worst nightmare.
