Cinema about WWII: "A dawn here are quiet"

Who does not know this touching story of the five female volunteers who tried to cope with the sixteen well-trained German intelligence officers? At least in Soviet times the plot of the picture "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" was known by heart.

Near to one of the Karelian railroad tracks, near the location of the Soviet troops, Germans appear to be saboteurs. The railway junction is guarded by the sergeant Fedot Vaskov and his detachment of volunteer girls.

Vaskov takes the top five of his subordinates and moves forward to meet the saboteurs. But it turns out that the Germans are not two, but sixteen. The girl, sent out for help, perishes by an absurd accident in the swamp. And the others are killed by the number of superior opponents. Fedot Vaskov loses his charges, which, by and large, still have to live and live. However, the victim was not in vain: diversion still managed to be prevented.

So usually a good movie about WWII ends: it gives at least a drop of hope for a better future and makes us appreciate what we now have.
