Tobruk (2008)

A detachment of Czechoslovak infantry is surviving Rommel's assault on the Libyan port of Tobruk http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1224376/. It shows desert warfare well but it is not as close to my heart as Italian "El Alamein". A Czech soldier is shown handling .303 ammo with ППУ headstamp. Also, soldiers are playing chess with pieces cleverly made from various calibre fired amminition cases. The Czech soldiers have a dilemma, their homeland is now a part of Deutsches Reich and they may be executed as deserters if captured by Germans.
