Lone Canuck's Prinz Eugen pack has this battle as the first scenario of this pack. I watched yesterday this film made in Yugoslavia about the largest German anti-partisan campaign in Yugoslavia and found it interesting but slightly hokey as befits a war film from that era. Why post about it here?
Firstly, depicted are the Chetniks, Germans, Italians and Tito's Partisan Army.
Secondly, It was filmed where most of the real battle was fought (reminds one of the Korea War given the early winter '43 time frame).
Thirdly, there are some strange AFV's among the mocked up T-34's. Some would probably defy the Da Paul challenge.
There is only the Yugoslav and German version on YouTube and I could not find any with sub-titles. Of interest also is at the end of the film they push all sorts of WWII equipment into the Nerevta River which is a real shame given its market value today. Even a Sherman goes tumbling down a mountain hillside. Look for Yul Brenner and Orson Welles.
