Wings Above Berlin

"Wings Over Berlin" is a gripping historical drama that tells the true story of a daring Soviet air force regiment's mission to bomb Berlin in August 1941. Led by Colonel Yevgeny Preobrazhensky, the pilots face a formidable challenge: a 1800-kilometer flight without refueling, with the majority of the distance over sea, and a grueling 7-hour flight time. As they soar through the skies, the pilots must navigate through fierce air defenses and brace against the freezing temperatures that threaten to cripple their aircraft. With their oxygen masks and frozen goggles, the pilots push on, determined to complete their mission and strike a blow against the heart of Nazi Germany. The film's climax is a heart-stopping depiction of the actual bombing raid, with planes swooping down on military targets in Berlin and the port city of Stettin. "Wings Over Berlin" is a tribute to the bravery and skill of these Soviet pilots who risked everything to help turn the tide of the war.
