    Couple of films from Bosnia (knowledge of Serbo-Croat = Seb, Croat, Bosniak language very usefull):
    Both films useful for modelling purposes (interesting mix of uniforms and helmets).
    For those who like to watch war reports.

    Armija BiH na frontu 1. (Bosnian army on the front part 1.)(~25minutes):

    Skip intro (first two minutes about Alija Izetbegović)). Combat unit (tank killer team) engaged in combat first among houses and then in the field against Serbs during counter attack (warning: wounded soldier), at the end destroying 2 serb tanks and 1 APC killing their crews (warning: a bit graphic - dead tankers). After intro no commentaries.

    sequel of the first film (warning: same dead tankers). Then another combat unit after stoping Sebian attack killing two tanks (both crews escaped) one T-55 tank burning 2 meters from the trench and soldiers explaining the action and discussing about towing other tank (not filmed and further back) that is not burned out to their side during the night. Fall sequence on fron near Sarajevo discussing attack on Serb positions ( 20mm triple AAA gun mounted on truck in action). Then short insert about Kurbam bajram (religious holiday- slougter of sheep an a cow). Then pics from Sarajevo (warning very graphic - Truck under avomatic AAA gun fire and heavily wounded trucker) and propaganda ending ( warning: dead civilians). Except propaganda ending no commentaries.

    The defence of Bosnia (in english) ~1h 5 min.:
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1263411076701629887&q=bosnia
    Lots of fighting and graphic scenes (not for faint harted). This is basicly propaganda movie so some commentaries should be taken as such..
