A scene from Alexander Nevsky directed by Sergei Eisenstein, music by Sergei Prokofiev. Practically the only thing the nightmarish empire beyond the Iron Curtain ever produced worth remembering with admiration, aside from a manned spaceshot or two. AH!

... oh, wait. The Krauts are the bad guys in this film. We are supposed to root for the other side.
Well, so what
