Bob Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Came across this interesting Wikipedia entry by coincidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Hill_3234 39 Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan participated in this battle: - 2 awarded Hero of Soviet Union - the other 37 awarded both Order of Red Banner and Order of Red Star 6 out of the 39 were KIA and 28 were wounded in action Most decorated unit in a single battle (in Afghanistan)?
Leaftree Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 There was a Russian movie about it a few year back, I wouldn't recommend watching it. Horribly done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_9th_Company
Bob Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) If that is the movie I think it is then I have seen it and it is a complete piece of #%#$ This on the other hand is an excellent film with the Soviet/Afghanistan conflict as backround : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_(1988_film) Edited June 20, 2020 by Bob
