First clip is a Luftwaffe attack on PQ-17, second looks like bombing of Murmansk, but IIRC Murmansk was burnt down by "blond knights" in Winter...

The stills look like they are from IL2

They are bound to at a minimum have subtitles. Looks great.

The trailer was kinda ...odd... for a movie about PQ 17.

But I suppose no ww2 movie would be complete without a couple of scenes of Germans killing innocent civilians.

Boroda,
The site claims that the total value of the Convoy PQ-17 was estimated $700 million and comprised about 80% of the value of all other convoys before and after. That seems strange.

Those clips are historically inaccurate, as neither of them contained footage of Ben Affleck.

Diving Ju88 dropping bombs and strafing little children…….that gave me a nice giggle.

The movie is 2 hours long, this is the 5 minutes without him.

Treasure it.

I know. But I don’t think they were pulling out at 50 meters blasting with forward gun at everything that moved. Also those explosions look…..under modeled. Come-on 250Kg bomb does a lot more damage then that…..
