🇧🇾🇷🇺 Fortress of War 2010 (BASED ON HISTORICAL EVENTS, Eng sub)

Fortress of War (2010), also known as The Brest Fortress, is based on a real historical event: the Defense of Brest Fortress during the opening of the German invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) in June 1941. What is historically accurate?: The Brest Fortress (in present‐day Belarus) was one of the first places attacked by the Germans at dawn on June 22, 1941, and its defenders resisted for several days. Key real people are depicted: - Major Pyotr Gavrilov - Regimental Commissar Yefim Fomin - Lieutenant Andrey Kizhevatov The atmosphere of being cut off, surrounded, facing lack of resources, desperate fighting, breaches by German forces, and scattered resistance in different strongpoints inside the fortress are historically based. The film was made under supervision of the Brest Fortress Museum to ensure it matches historical fact as closely as possible.
