Shoulder sleeve insignia, 9th Armored Division, United States Army, known as the Phantom Division, of the type used during World War II. The patch design was used by all Armored divisions, with the division number, in this case 9, at the apex of the triangle. The colors represent the military branches that form an armored division: yellow for cavalry, blue for infantry, and red for artillery. The symbols represent the characteristics: the tank track, mobility and armor protection; the cannon, fire power; and the red flash of lightning, shock action. The 9th Division landed in Normandy in September 1944, and earned their nickname Phantom while fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. They advanced through Germany, where they captured the Ludendorff Bridge over the Rhine River in Remagen on March 7, 1945. They had pushed into Czechoslovakia when Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945. On May 8th, troops of the 9th and 1st Infantry Division liberated Zwodau and Falkenau an der Eger labor camps, subcamps of Flossenbürg concentration camp. They found 900-1000 starving female prisoners at Zwodau. The Divisions provided medical attention and food to the survivors. The 9th was placed on occupation duty until their return to the US on October 10 and inactivation on October 13, 1945. This Division was active only during WWII.
Shoulder sleeve insignia, 3rd Armored Division, United States Army, known as the Spearhead Division, of the type used during World War II. The patch design was used by all Armored divisions, with the division number, in this case 3, at the apex of the triangle. The colors represent the military branches that form an armored division: yellow for cavalry, blue for infantry, and red for artillery. The symbols represent the characteristics: the tank track, mobility and armor protection; the cannon, fire power; and the red flash of lightning, shock action. The 3rd Division landed in Normandy in late June 1944, where their role as the spearhead in many attacks during the liberation of France in 1944 earned them their nickname. They pushed on and were the first Allied ground force to invade Germany. While fighting through Germany, they were first to capture a German town and to breach and advance across the Siegfried Line in September 1944. They were also the first Allied ground force to capture a major German city, when they captured Cologne on March 5 and 6, 1945. The 3rd and the 104th Infantry Division liberated Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp and Boelcke-Kaserne, a subcamp of Mittlebau, on April 11, 1945. They immediately began transporting 250 ill and starving survivors to nearby hospitals. Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945. The Division was placed on occupation duty in Germany until inactivated on November 10, 1945.

Shoulder sleeve insignia, 84th Infantry Division, United States Army, known as the Railsplitters, of the type used during World War II. The circular red patch depicts a white hatchet splitting a railroad tie. The Unit was activated in 1917 during World War I and drew troops from Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky; all states important in the life of Abraham Lincoln. They were nicknamed the Lincoln Division in his honor, and later the Railsplitters. The 84th Infantry fought in France, Holland, Belgium, and was in central Germany in May 1945. The Division liberated two subcamps of Neuengamme concentration camp, Hannover-Ahlem on April 10, 1945, and Salzwedel on April 14. Both camps contained many starving and ill prisoners. At Salzwedel, the Division directed the mayor of the nearby town to provide food for the liberated inmates. The 84th Infantry stayed in the region until Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945, becoming part of the Army of Occupation until its return to the United States and inactivation in January 1946.
Yet I suspect the film's cornball elements and patches of dramatic ineptitude might have freed Harris instead of restricting him. Pollock presented him with a number of unresolvable conundrums?chief among them, how to make a self-involved, brutal, alcoholic painter watchable without falsifying him in the eyes of those who knew him. Major Konig, on the other hand, is a fictional composite?a blank slate for Harris. He fills the man with the barest handful of brief, vivid strokes. Konig barely speaks, and when he does, he uses an even, inexpressive tone designed to conceal not just his intentions, but the thought processes that led him there. He never raises his voice. He listens even when others don't know he's listening. He prefers to work alone, gliding through the ruins of Stalingrad like a blue-eyed angel of death. There's something slightly dandyish about Konig?and not just because, as Rex Reed memorably noted, he's the only character in the movie that seems to have access to a bar of soap. It's encoded in Harris' gestures: the fastidiousness with which he sips a beverage or lights a cigarette or dons a medal; his theatrical matter-of-factness as he unwraps a slab of bacon offered as a bribe to a starving little Russian shoeshine boy, Sasha (Gabriel Marshall-Thomson), who provides the Major with fatally useful information.
Technically, however, Harris isn't the star of Enemy at the Gates. That would be Jude Law, the lean, beautiful British actor who plays Russian hero Vassily Zaitsev, a gifted sniper and uneducated peasant who mastered the rifle as a boy hunting wolves in the Ural Mountains. He arrives in Stalingrad in a gigantic opening battle sequence, which finds hordes of Russian infantrymen crossing the Volga en route to the city while being pounded by artillery shells and strafed by planes. Rather too obviously modeled on battle sequences in Saving Private Ryan?without the crisp editing and geographical clarity?the opening nevertheless sets up Vassily's anonymity (just another peasant recruited as cannon fodder) and then erases it once Vassily makes his way into the city. Hiding among Russian corpses about 50 yards from a building where German officers are headquartered, he sees another Russian, the military journalist Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), secretly drawing a bead on the enemy. The bookish, trembling Danilov lacks faith in his own sniping abilities; Vassily politely offers to do the honors, and proceeds to pick off the German officers one by one, timing each shot to coincide with the sound of artillery explosions so his enemies don't even notice their comrades getting plugged.
In Enemy's star glamour contest, Law only looks like the winner?and the reason for his defeat can be found not just in Law's likable but somewhat vague performance, but in an exchange between the hero and his girl. In a tender moment, Vassily tells Tanya that in the Ural forests, wolves live three years but donkeys live for nine. In a filmmaking context, stars are wolves: they're beautiful and feared, but they're only valued for one talent, and they have short (career) lifespans. Donkeys?character actors?do lots of different work and last much longer. If you think of newly minted superstar Law as a wolf?and a childhood wolf-hunting flashback during the opening credits encourages you to do exactly that?then Harris, the vastly older, more rugged and more experienced veteran, would be Law's counterpart, the donkey. Yet he's pulled off a fantastic trick here: in essence, his performance positions him as a donkey with the charisma and killer instinct of a wolf. Harris' career has a lot more than nine years left in it; the forests are his to roam.
Like a blood moon striding across the starlit night, Voruna never hunts alone. Safeguarded by her four loyal wolves, she may freely invoke their protective passives anytime during a mission. 2ff7e9595c
