'''''1944''''' is a 2015 Estonian war drama film directed by Elmo Nüganen (''Names in Marble''). | '''''1944''''' is a 2015 Estonian war drama film directed by Elmo Nüganen (''Names in Marble''). In occupied Estonia Karl Tammik, stationed at the Tannberg Line, fights in the Waffen-SS while Jüri Jõgi has to serve as an officer in the Red Army. Like thousands of their compatriots, the young Estonians somehow want to survive the war and they have no choice. Either they go for the Russian occupiers to the field, or stand under Hitler's banner in the Waffen-SS. The fate of the two soldiers exemplifies the story of a whole country that was almost crushed between the mills of two great powers, forced into a war. It was selected as the Estonian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated. | ||

In occupied Estonia Karl Tammik, stationed at the Tannberg Line, fights in the Waffen-SS while Jüri Jõgi has to serve as an officer in the Red Army.
