I noticed this 1985 movie about partisans and the Nazis in Belorus has had a general dvd release. I haven't seen it and it looks pretty grim viewing.
Some of the trivia at the Imdb are interesting;
Many of the uniforms seen throughout the film are originals.
Live ammunition was used in the film - in interviews, actor Aleksei Kravchenko has described actual bullets passing some 10 centimeters above his head.
Filmed in chronological sequence.
The director planned to have Aleksei Kravchenko hypnotized by a psychotherapist during the most dreadful and violent scenes so that they wouldn't affect his young mind. However Kravchenko turned out not to be susceptible to hypnosis and had to pretend all the way
