- Silent Barricade (Nemá barikáda 1949) [1080p] Czechoslovak war movie with English subtitles
It's May 1945, Russians are approaching Berlin and the German troops in Prague are slowly beginning their retreat of the city while committing atrocities along the way. The situation escalates when a tram gets shot at by passing German cars and innocent citizens get killed.
The natives immediately decide to block off one of the main bridges, preventing the German's smooth escape. The entire city is suddenly organizing the defense. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Tempers have been seething for a long time and finally, all the bottled up anger can be released. The Praguers have a chance to pay back the occupants for nearly 6 years of terror and crimes.
As is typical for Czechoslovak movies filmed after 1948, also this flick is heavily tainted by Communist propaganda, which is significantly skewing the reality and making it historically inaccurate. The main protagonist, locksmith Hosek, is "of course" a member of the communist party and is receiving orders from a party official throughout the whole movie. He is an old battle-proven fox and everyone is heeding his advice and following his orders although he is presented just like a random guy from the street.
While there has been also a certain portion of communist resistance towards the Germans during the war, it has never been the main driving force as is presented in the movie. The resistance consisted of many factions and the communists were never spearheading it. Czechoslovakia was a democratic republic between 1918-1948 and communism has been imported and installed by Russia only first after World War II (The communist party was the 2nd biggest in the Czech and only the 3rd biggest in the Slovak parliament; Social Democrats and Democrats respectively were the biggest parties in both).
Back to the movie: We see a Polish young woman, Halina, which survived Auschwitz, liberated from one of the train transports joining the defense of the city. She is the most likable character of all as she is fearless and even kills one of the SS soldiers with a grenade, unflinchingly crossing the street under heavy fire as she is trying to retrieve a machine gun from his dead body. Even when some men refuse to join a group of combatants, she does not hesitate for a second and volunteers herself. She displays courage like so many other civilians guarding the barricades. When the situation looks dire and all seems lost, the Red Army finally appears to save the city from the clutches of the Nazis and bring long sought after relief and freedom.
This movie is dedicated to the heroes of the Prague resistance as well as to the soldiers of the Red Army which suffered immense casualties in the process of liberating Europe, not just Prague and Czechoslovakia, in World War II. (source: my own synopsis and review of the movie on IMDB)

I love it
There's also a pretty similar movie to this one called "Rumbling in the mountains" (V horach duni) from 1946. I'm working on obtaining it.
I never knew anything about this part of the war.
Really good film
Salute to the brave people of Prague.
At the end of the movie they are so happy to see the Soviet Red Army in Prague...They were not so happy to see them in 1968.
Spot on commentary jutka! Made me even laugh :D
@@livewithpatienceandcomposu2510 I am happy you understood and liked my comment.
My great grandmother fled then Czechoslovakia by herself as child to America as they started burning books and forcing another language - she would be horrified to see what America is going through today- America keep your arms no matter what!
Yes! Don't ever let the Government convince you gun control is the answer!! IT'S NOT. THEY JUST WANT IT SO THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY PLEASE!!!
@@pzkw6759 🙏🙏🙏thank you.
@@JA51711 When did your grandmother flee.
It was so sad, the Czechs were liberated from fascism and fell under communism….the war in Europe only liberated Western Europe. The Eastern part was given to Russia, by the allies…….
American troops were at one point in Pilsen, just one and a half hours away from Prague while the Russians were still 3 weeks away from marching in and liberating the capital of Czechoslovakia. Stalin even said to the Americans: "Don't you dare liberating Czechoslovakia! They're ours to liberate!" It only makes sense, if you look at it from some sort of a Pan-Slavic point of view. Both Slovaks and Czechs are Slavs, as well as the Russians. But otherwise pre-war Czechoslovakia was a democratic state and we wanted none of that bolshevik nonsense. I'm not trying to detract anything from the achievements of the Russian army. They certainly liberated Czechoslovakia and died in the tens of thousands on Slovak and Czech soil. We owe them for sure, but their help was anything but altruistic. Winners always grab the spoils of war and extend their sphere of influence.
Jsem z jižní Moravy,z ČR, proto uznávám rudou armádu,Brno osvobodila vojska Malinovského,a kdo to nepoznal komunismus,ať o tom nemluví,co je po listopadu 1989,raději ne mluvit,rozkradli a rozprodali co mohli,co jse tu léta budovalo, sametová revoluce byla podvod
Dekuji za vlozeni ❤❤❤
May I request movie? Frozen Silence/Silencio En La Nieve (2011)
Film je vynikající
Co se týče rusů tak nás osvobozovala a pak nás okupovala 1968
To je hezkej film o tom jak jsme bránili svoji vlast a ke konci nás vysvobodí rusové 👏
Česko osvobodili Sověti (Rusové, Ukrajinci, Gruzínci atd.), Američani, Francouzi a Britové (zřejmě i Kanaďané).
@@JackAddams Hlavne Sovetsky Svaz a Rumonsko.
@@jaroslavpenkava : Ano, protoze uzemi k osvobezeni ozdelila Jaltská konference (4. - 11. 2. 1945). Proto treba v Praze zbytecne umirali lide: Zapadni spojenci meli "hotovo" a dal na vychod nemohli.
