| Description -----------------------------------
Liberation (Russian: Освобождение, translit. Osvobozhdenie,
German: Befreiung, Polish: Wyzwolenie) is a film series
released in 1970 and 1971, directed by Yuri Ozerov and shot
in wide-format NIKFI process (70 mm). The script was written
by Yuri Bondarev and Oscar Kurganov. The series was a
Soviet-Polish-East German-Italian-Yugoslav co-production.
The films are a dramatized account of the liberation of
the Soviet Union's territory and the subsequent defeat of
Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War, focusing on five major
Eastern Front campaigns: the Battle of Kursk, the Lower Dnieper
Offensive, Operation Bagration, the Vistula–Oder Offensive,
and the Battle of Berlin.
Film I: The Fire Bulge
After the Soviets are alerted to the imminent German offensive
in Kursk, they launch a preemptive artillery strike, delaying
the enemy. The battalion of Lieutenant Colonel Lukin – led by
officers Tzvetaev, Orlov, and Maximov – participates in
the battle, as well as the tank of Lieutenant Vasiliev.
In KZ Sachsenhausen, Yakov Dzhugashvili refuses Andrei Vlasov's
offer to exchange him for Friedrich Paulus. Meanwhile, in Kursk,
the Germans advance. Maximov flees, but finally turns back and
chooses to be shot when captured.
When hearing about the German proposal regarding Yakov,
Stalin rejects it, saying he will not trade a Field Marshal
for a soldier. The Yugoslav partisans break out of an encirclement.
The Soviet counter-offensive is launched in Kursk. Erich von
Manstein commits all his forces to a final assault, bringing the
Soviets close to defeat. Vatutin urges to send in the strategic
reserve, which repels the Germans.
Film II: Breakthrough
After the Allied landing in Sicily, Mussolini is arrested on
the King's orders. In Warsaw, the Polish Resistance bombs a
German cinema. Mussolini is rescued by Otto Skorzeny and his commandos.
The Red Army reaches the Dnieper. Lukin's regiment crosses it,
presumably as the division's vanguard; unbeknownst to them, they
are merely a ploy to mislead the enemy. The regiment is cut off without
reinforcements and wiped out. Lukin is killed. Tzvetaev leads the
survivors back to their lines.
On Stalin's orders, the Soviet High Command plans its offensive on Kiev,
stealthily redeploying their forces. The city is liberated.
The Allied leaders meet in Tehran.
Film III: Direction of the Main Blow
Part 1
Stalin informs his allies that a Soviet offensive will take
place soon after the Normandy landings. The Stavka decides to
strike in Belarus. Orlov leads his soldiers in a charge to rescue
nurse Zoia, who insisted on evacuating the wounded from a battlefield.
After concluding that the Belarus marshes are passable,
Rokossovsky demands that the main effort be directed towards Bobruisk
and insists until Stalin approves. Panteleimon Ponomarenko orders
the Belorussian partisans to attack all railways.
Operation Bagration is launched.
Part 2
The Soviets march on Bobruisk. Afterwards, they liberate Minsk.
A group of German officers tries to assassinate Hitler and take power,
but fails. Churchill is pleased to hear of this, fearing a
peace would leave Europe to Stalin.
In Poland, Zawadzki and Berling watch the Bug River as the Polish
1st Army crosses it, saying they are happy to return home.
Film IV: The Battle of Berlin
Stalin orders to hasten the Vistula-Oder offensive in order to
relieve the Allies. Karl Wolff is sent to negotiate with the Americans.
Zhukov rejects Stavka's order to take Berlin, fearing an attack
on his flank. In Yalta, Stalin notifies Churchill and Roosevelt that
he knows of their secret dealings with the enemy. Saying that trust
is the most important thing, he tears apart the picture showing Allen
Dulles and Wolff. Zhukov's forces cross the Oder and approach Berlin.
The Soviets capture a teenage sniper; they send him to his mother.
Vasilev's tank crushes into a house. The crew has a pleasant
meal with the owner's family. The Soviets and the Poles storm the Tiergarten.
Film V: The Last Assault
In Berlin, Lieutenant Yartsev's infantry and Tzvetaev's battery
fight their way in the U-Bahn. When Hitler orders the tunnels flooded,
Tzvetaev drowns while rescuing civilians.
Captain Neustroev's company is selected to hoist the Victory Banner
atop the Reichstag. Soviet officer is assigned to Führerbunker as
a communication operator for negotiations about German surrend.
In the Führerbunker, after marrying Eva Braun, Hitler murders her
and commits suicide. At the Reichstag, Dorozhkin is killed in the fighting.
The Victory Banner is unfurled on the dome. The Berlin garrison surrenders
unconditionally. Outside the Reichstag, Vasiliev, Orlov, Yartsev,
and an immense crowd of Red Army soldiers celebrate victory.
