Found this on Google Videos.... 1 hr. 15 mins. in length featuring actual footage of the battle recorded by Soviet combat cameramen.. Compiled and released 1n 1962 during the Khrushchev era, it contains no references to Stalin, a refreshing change for anything Soviet IMO..

Yeah, I've only watched a small part thus far, but the historical footage is pretty cool. I found Google/YouTube links to a bunch of contemporary Russian films in Color that cover just about every Major Soviet offensive of the war... Kharkov, the 43' Dnieper offensive, Kursk, Bagration, and others. It's all in Russian (no subs unfortunately) but the battle scenes are pretty awesome in any language. I'll try to post up links to some of these as my schedule permits.
