Stalingrad is a 1993 film by Joseph Vilsmaier, similar to Apocalypse Now and Platoon in its approach of depicting the horrors of war in a very realistic fashion. There is no romanticizing about the war - there are no heroes in war and there is no love-story as in Enemy at the Gates. Sticky mud, cold rain, and the ever present fear of death dominate the film.

The movie follows a platoon of German soldiers in the Wehrmacht during the Battle of Stalingrad and the viewer experiences their hardships in the shattered remnants of the city.
