"Diversant" throws the audience into life and death realities of WW2
AKalinoff4 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
2 Young Sergeants specially trained in German arrive onto what seems is the Don Front in the middle of WW2 in 1942 by train.

They have unrealistic views of combat and joke about the war. Minutes later one is dead and the other is trying to survive while trusting a stranger he had met seconds earlier they only have one rifle they found and 5 rounds of ammunition. Fantasy turns to reality.

That is the beginning of the 1st Episode of this Miniseries.

The 2 heroes of this film run for their lives with whole German units pursuing them. But the history of the newcomer is not clear. He seems to know a lot about Germany, more than the average Russian soldier, and he has no identification to prove his identity. He borrows one, from a dead soldier.

They then must pass obstacles like German Guards and their own Army, units of which were specially set up to locate saboteurs and spies who could pass across the front line. The "newcomer" is identified as a German spy, but later this accusation is withdrawn (although we learn the truth later).

The Special Operations Squad they join is sent on a mission to capture a German officer, but it gets dangerous and they almost lose their lives.

There is more than that, but space is limited. The Germans are not portrayed as superhuman demons. All types of Germans are portrayed including a German ally. It is not entirely accurate. But the Special Effects are very good as well as the film quality.
