michiel257 I have without a doubt never ever seen a movie in which acting, filming, sound, screenplay and script are so completely worthless. It seems like re-enactment actors filmed each other with their mobile phones during a weekend away on a paintball range and then voiced it over, leaving the montage to a 10-year old. Explosions and shooting scenes seem to be edited in using windows moviemaker. All aircraft and vehicles are laughable. None of the actors should ever be allowed to star in anything but a STD-awareness commercial. Do you know Adult Swim's Special Agent Decker series? This is seems to be made following the same concept, except it's not even the least bit funny.I will not go into the political discussion about the movie, it's too bad at the surface to look for anything less than a scratch's depth below it.

Jolylolly I vote this 10 because of the fake negative reviewers that have only been created to mark this film down. Few if any of these reviews talk about the movie itself, they just tell you that it's propaganda and that you should not watch it which is precisely the reason why you should. It's very low budget, yes, but the story seems to be built up from real letters written by real soldiers which gives you an idea of these people's beliefs and worldview and perhaps provides some insight into how they got so caught up in the idea that the Nazis presented at that time and how that worldview effected their flight or fight responses on the battlefield. It also expresses their doubts about what they where fighting for and their journey from idealism to cynicism. It's a breath of fresh air and goes some way to redraw a balance since as we know history is written by the winners and we rarely hear the other side of the story.

mrgarabaldi I watched this movie and yes the acting could have been better, but the gear was pretty realistic, Yeah the Tanks were cover over T55's but they tried to use the correct gear for the Germans, Russians and Americans, which is more than a lot of war movies have done. The savagery shown especially on the eastern front the Germans shooting wounded Russians did happen quite a lot, and the Soviets especially the NKVD would do the same to Germans. Less than 10,000 Germans came back from Soviet Captivity. The movie shows an individual soldier perspective and the relations to "his Kamaraden". The movie shows a soldier fighting for his friends and no longer for the cause.

garciamd-17986 This director "Pepe" made just this movie, and that's enough to ask him to stop making films. the is no story at all, actors perform very bad, war scenes are cheesy, infantile, and the starting speech is just ridiculous (who wrote? Coelho?) rigid language, bored dialogues. in the pre WWII era Rifensthal made "triumph of the will" this a lean imitation, the work of a mediocre apprentice.
