Documentary film in Berlin: “Allies” (1978)
Documentary film from the series “The Unknown War” in English.
“The Unknown War” (1978) is a remarkable documentary produced through a rare collaboration between the Soviet Union and the United States. It is based on more than one million meters of unique footage shot by Soviet frontline cameramen, much of which remained unseen by the public for decades.
The film impresses not only through powerful historical visuals but also through the depth of international cooperation. The narration is delivered by American actor Burt Lancaster, who later described the project as “the most extraordinary film production ever created.” The script involved Harrison E. Salisbury, a noted expert on Russia and former war correspondent in Moscow. Artistic supervision was provided by American producer Isaac Kleiner, while Soviet documentarian Roman Karmen and his team tirelessly examined military archives.
The narrative highlights the decisive actions of Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin in shaping the outcome of the war. With the Allied landing in France and the opening of the Second Front, the liberation of Western Europe began. General de Gaulle returned to Paris after years in exile. The Yalta Conference hosted crucial Allied negotiations, and Soviet and American troops famously met at the Elbe River.
