I love that for once the German soldiers aren't portrayed as inhuman monsters or cannon fodder that you should not care about

Hans is mad that you told his father you didn’t care.

*so hans is getting the luger*

Greatest thing I heard from a ww2 vet i met is that “at the end of the day we were both young kids fighting a war. We coulda been friends. The German prisoners I met were scared but some did warm up to me. One of them (who spoke English somewhat) showed me his kids and he had a big family. 4 kids of his own and 7 nieces and nephews. He asked me if I was proud to serve my country and I asked him the same. We both agreed we are.”
That shit broke my damn heart I was only like 14 at the time.

Boy.. I just love to see german and u.s. soldiers get along. One lesson can be learned not all of them were bad people.

I really like how accurately you guys portrayed the language barriers that existed in the 40s. Not many non english natives understood english at all. Nice job👌🏻

I love how the short movie shows how most German soldiers surrendering to allied forces would have been happy to be out of the war by then.I like WW2 short movies that show compassion and good feelings over hate and death.Its a nice change.

When I was a kid, I had a friend whose father was drafted into the Wehrmacht at 18. After the war, he emigrated to Canada, became a Canadian citizen, married, and raised a family. He was always a kind and gentle soul; hardly the bloodthirsty Nazi portrayed in the movies. It wasn’t until my friend and I were adults having a few (well, actually more than a few) beers with him that the stories of the Russian Front came out. He carried the unseen scars of war with him just like our allied veterans do. The only real difference was the uniform he wore.

My grandfather was shot by germans. He won a bronze star facing them in extreme circumstances.

I asked him what his most memorable experiences from the war were.

"I made some pretty great friends from Germany."

Ugh... it melts you.

"Remember, a true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him"

I love how the Private learns this.

[killersg.]

Private: "I don't care"
That was sad

[CR-efop]

Ahh I love when Germans aren’t portrayed like the mean kraut people see them as

[sirlamm]

What Most People forget

German Soldiers were humans too
(EDIT: why are the people under this comment talking about Playstations?)

I love films like this. The German soldiers of ww2 were not all sociopathic monsters, the majority were just regular people like the rest of us who were forced into this conflict. I have great respect for the brave German soldiers who fought in the first and second world war. I hope we will never forget the sacrifice those men made. Much love, from Australia.
