T-34

Give me the axe.

Hurry up! I don't feel good about the place!

Comrade Junior Lieutenant...

That's better.

Germans!

Move over!

Where are you going?! Are you nuts?!

We'll make it! They have to turn the turret!

Get down!

When the turret comes to a stop, you count to four! Loud!

One!

Two! Three! Four!

Are you okay? Keep counting!

You count!

Two! Three! Four!

He is going to shoot now! Step on it, buddy!

Keep counting!

Two! Three! Four!

Son of a bitch...

Hang on!

- Are you okay? - I think I am.

My name is Nikolai.

I am Vasya.

Poplar calling Mignonette. Do you copy?

You must stop them!

I know!

Repeat! I can't read you!

Battalion Commander!

Comrade Colonel, my battalion has been reduced to a single tank.

Where are the rest of them?

Knocked out or given to the infantry.

I don't even have a tank commander. All of them were killed.

- I would do it but... - Fight to the bitter end!

Yes, Comrade Colonel.

Seventh, Seventh, I'm Poplar, do you copy?

Give me the detail.

Do you copy?

Give me a light.

The Germans are approaching the village of Nefedovo.

Here is our order.

We cover the retreat of the brigade's staff office and the mobile hospital.

What should I cover this with, Misha?

Whatever you want.

I'll give you the department.

If you want, I'll go myself.

- You have a Georgian sergeant. - Well?

- Gabulia, right? - Yes

Well, give him to me.

Alright.

Nevfedovo, two kilometers-

Good evening, Comrade Captain!

Junior Lieutenant Ivushkin, present for duty!

Reporting.

The kitchen truck held off a mean attack of an enemy tank on the way.

The hot meals have been delivered.

Are you an armor officer? - Yes, Comrade Captain.

Buddy！

Stalin is the only person I want to see more than you now.

Dear Mommy，Please, don't worry. I am perfectly fine.

We are beating the Fritzes hard.

Regards to Auntie Manya.

Kisses. Your Nikolai.

Kolya.

take me on the tank as a machine gunner.

I can do it.

Eh, Teterya, you are a stupid bird.

The machine gunner has the farthest to get out, if he gets shot down.

You will send a letter.

I'll send it.

Well, goodbye, friend.

Goodbye, Kolya.

Comrade Ivushkin!

Comrade captain, may I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

Can't you support us...

at least with artillery?

We might not be able to handle it.

And you must be able to handle it.

Did you notice the tactical sign on the German tank?

Of course.

Double shilhouette with a raised sword.

Ghost.

Emblem of the Eleventh Panzer Division.

Last week they unloaded our wounded into the snow

and crushed them with their tracks. Got it?

Further on, beyond Nefodovo there is a direct road to Moscow.

So, Lieutenant, die

and stop the enemy.

Question?

No.

Then let's go.

Oh, a gray horse is running. A fish is catching berries.

Oh, I deserved it, Oh, I deserved it, that girl is mine.

Oh, I was honored, Oh, I was honored, that girl is-

Damnit-

Third month on the front.

Why is all of this happening to me?

Well, it's not just you.

Ivushkin, don't be shy.

I played tag as a child.

You offend me, comrade captain.

I know that,

a tank's invulnerability is directly proportional to the square of its speed.

And how about you?

And where did you study?

Accelerated program at Ulyanovsk Tank Plant.

- Before that, third year at MADI. - Good.

Tankmen, fall in!

Combat.

Attention!

Meet your new tank commander.

Junior Lieutenant Ivushkin. Please, welcome.

Good evening, comrade tankmen!

Hello, sir.

He will brief you.

You are our only hope, guys.

Break a leg.

Sure thing.

At ease.

I sense no fighting spirit.

Will you give us a mission briefing, sir?

The Germans broke through our lines at Nefedovo. We must hold the village.

and cover the retreat of the staff office and the hospital.

- What's the recon on the German force? - A company. Maybe more.

- Infantry? - Tanks.

Are you kidding us?

With a single tank and no support?

We'll have some support. From an infantry squad.

No way. We are not that stupid.

Pavlo, give me a gun. I will shoot myself.

Hush, dudes!

Comrade Lieutenant, we have been fighting for a week with no sleep at all.

一We survived the rest of the battalion by pure miracle，You want to slaughter us now?

Today is his first day on the frontline.

What else can he say?

Anyone else wants to speak out?

Now you listen to me.

Today is my first day on the frontline.

But I was an A student in the tank school.

Make way.

The tank is not on station even though in the rest area. Why?

You think we are at a health resort?

Is the caponier 1,5 meters long?

But it has to be minimum 2 meters long.

Were you too lazy?

Why did you store the ammo here?

I can't hear you.

And I don't think I will.

- What's your name, comrade driver? - Vasilenok.

Good that you keep the engine warm, Vasilenok.

But why is the oil leaking?

Fix it now. - Yes, sir.

We have our orders.

I am warning you. I will equal nagging to cowardice.

And I will punish it under the laws of war.

Is that clear?

The enemy is a stone's throw away from Moscow.

Stop whining! What a disgrace!

A single tank can do a lot of damage,

to the enemy when its crew knows their trade.

Comrade Junior Lieutenant, Sergeant Gabulia reporting for service.

One minute, please.

Tankmen, fall in! Attention!

Attention!

At my command!

Inspect the tank and prepare it for action!

Load extra ammo.

Remove everything you don't need.

May I keep my harmonica?

- Are you good at playing it? - Not bad.

Permission granted.

- Sanya. Wrench! - Which one?

My favorite!

Which one?

Look, Guram,

I think the Germans will come out of the forest.

The east,

is here.

The low morning sun will blind the Fritzes.

I will take this position here.

Give me.

I will stay here and draw their fire.

The road is winding here.The Fritzes will expose their sides to you.

Well, now it's your turn, Kolya.

It is a good strategy, comrade Gabulia.

It is all about experience.

A hero fell on our heads.

Ganya,

Then my soul is a Balalaika for you. Why are you whining?

There are only clowns around, that's why I whine.

Come here.

What else do you need, huh?

Do you forget who you are?

You are a soldier.

See?

See?!

Kobzarenko, leave him alone!

We are loading ammunition.

Do you hear what the old man says?

Go load it.
