@@brianking1921 Forgive me if my question has hurt you in any way.

@@brianking1921 Canada? My family was liberated in May 45, Living in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They very often talked about their liberators, Canadian or British. They did not meet Americans. But you were BASED in the forests? For training? I an assuming you are Canadian, maybe you are not.

Yeah, I couldn't get over it. Kind of ruined the otherwise decent short film. It doesn't even need to be a sniper, with how they were standing with pretty much their whole upper torso exposed.

you're out there in the West, the last of your brains are full of drugs. you were shown without any sense a couple of idiots who came to kill people in the USSR and you are looking for a deep meaning in this. "he dropped the watch," if he'd just farted, you'd have found a deeper meaning here.

@@davidov4282 obviously you're an idiot that has no idea of how to even go into depth on something with context. In the beginning of the story it is showing him writing to his assumed lover and writing to her, then through dialogue its revealed the other seasoned soldier "stopped writing" or something along those lines as it shows his demeanor about being away from society has changed and he basically accepts life as it is by this point. The significance of showing him throwing the watch is to basically show us what I think is basically... showing us maybe what the original gunner's transition to what he was before he got killed was like.

Ohh that and the fact that he says "in Normandy my squad leader took one in the head not even 30 seconds after opening fire" he only lasted 22 seconds after opening fire with Hitler's buzzsaw. The Pvt. could now say the same thing about his former squad leader while he's laying dead next to him.

Dammit never read the comments before watching the movie

The cycle bit is the same as the American war movie "When Trumpets Fade". It starts out with a Private carrying his wounded and dying Sergeant back to the lines. At the end this private is now a sergeant and is wounded and being carried back to his lines by a private. Both films grab the reality of war.

Who was your roommate? I'm the cinematographer for this movie and filmed it.

@Tracchofyre I just wanted to know which one of my teammates was that guy's roommate 😅

I do think you missed the jist of this film!

Educate me.

Nancy Castro Buddy he literally said that he knows the film is trying to show the mindset presented in ‘45 in the east of the War. He simply CRITIQUING that infantry men do not stand up in whilst in a fox hole. This just gives more information to the film makers that next time, either the fox holes could be deeper, or the infantry men should be in a slight crouching position for further realism within its film.

Some men stop caring about the danger, some embrace a quick end. But these would certainly be easy targets.

@@spcogden6055 95-17

If you haven't already seen it 'Stalingrad ' 'Das Boot' and 'Generation kill' are some good examples of war from a German perspective.

Thats what the director and I were aiming for! The rookies were supposed to be clean and get dirtier. While having been through the winter, have been issued a winter suit, while wilms has light weight winter anzug since the snow is melting. I also tried to grow my hair out to copy that one photo from the steppes I think its from 42 during the drive in the caucuses, with their crazy hair stick all out and forward. I also barley smoked cigs before this film, my lungs died during that shot

Okay but come on who just stands in a fox hole like that, are they asking to die

@@zodiack2021 the runner never stands up in the hole if you noticed...

Ha. Didn't notice that. I guess they really didn't need to have a live person under that coat for this scene.

That's because he was running when he died.

People don’t die immediately. I tell myself that he was bleeding out.

Kilo Blunton the best way to tell if they are dead is push on the chest and if air doesn’t get pulled back in they are dead. The bodies naturally pull air back in

@@Skinwalkerxiv his brain was turned to mush when the bullet got him, yeah people don't die strait away definitly not if they are shot/stabbed etc anywhere other than the head but if they have their brain destroyed than the rest of the body is incapable of functioning for very long let alone a whole night. They could have put a dummy under the coat but I don't really mind that the actor was moving.

You can smoke in a foxhole carefully by being lower than the sandbags. At night using your helmet as a 'blind' is another trick to being covert about it.

Agree, that was the first thing I noticed. The 'veteran' doesn't act like it when it comes to protecting himself.

Great movie, but near the end it got ruined by the two ms-13 gang members running in the background.

do you know why the Germans invaded Russia? What their plans for the Russian civilian population were? Do you agree with these plans (Generalplan Ost)? Do you understand why your great-grandfather was killed by the Soviets and that he had no business being there at all? I'm German and I think that we and the Russians need to work together and overcome this once and for all. But we need to recognize what we did to the Russian people and not live in denial and comfort ourselves with revisionism and "Stalin was so bad, so it is okay that we killed afew Russians too". Yes, I demonize the ideology of the 3rd Reich. And I think that the Russophobia and hysteria about "Russians" today is a heir to this nazi view of the Russians. Somehow not equal to us, not allowed to defend themselves or their interests. Humanity means recognizing your mistakes, and looking forward. Not trying to whitewash the 3rd reich and its representatives, who invaded another country.

@@grundgesetzart.1463 It was an unfortunate conflict because it was an ideological conflict between two totalitarianisms. If not for Stalin and Hitler, there would have been absolutely no reason for Russians and Germans to fight. No, I don't agree with the plans but those were written by civilian Party administrators and SS bureaucrats who were sent on the heels of the Wehrmacht undoing all the goodwill that the Army was doing because, let's be honest, most people were greeting them as liberators from the Soviets especially in the Army Group South sector of which my great-grandfather was part: Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Cossack regions of southern Russia. Those people were fed up with decades of Bolshevik terror, whether it be from Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, and all the rest. The Wehrmacht restored the private property and religious rights of the people, and got along very well with them UNTIL the civilian ideologues came on their heels and yes they were nothing but colonizers who wanted to reduce the people to serf status under German overlords. It was only then that Stalin and the Comintern was able to fight back by their appeals to "Mother Russia" and "the Fatherland" rather than "international revolution" although my point is that beyond the propaganda, Stalin was likewise very much expansionist and never got rid of it despite his "socialism in one country" tactic which was merely about consolidating his own control within the USSR while still taking measures to destabilize other countries and foment through the Communist movements. I disavow the German chauvinism of the NSDAP, although even among that party there were ideologues such as Alfred Rosenberg who preferred to see independent states in the conquered areas of the USSR. Coming from a South German background, I particularly identify this chauvinist, anti-Slavic mentality as having more to do with the medieval Teutonic Knights crusading than what any decent, rational German would have supported. And I am proud that many Army officers from my Swabian region were among the hotbed of the 20 July conspiracy - many Army officers on the Eastern Front in general were involved in this and did not support the Party anti-Slavism exactly because as soldiers on the ground they had to win hearts and minds. As for the "Russophobia and hysteria about 'Russians' today", maybe my opinion is different since I am part of the Truth/Alternative movement and what I see is Putin-worship and Duginism across both the far-left and far-right segments who idolize the current Russian State. Even Dugin has said he benefits from the alleged "Russophobia" of the MSM....The rest of your comments - your conclusion - yes I completely agree about recognizing mistakes and growing from them. I'm just also a "revisionist" because I accept the evidence that Stalin also had plans to invade Germany the moment Hitler would have been preoccupied with a war in the west and that his actions after the war throughout east and central Europe are an indicator of this plan. Anti-Slavism was a stupid ideology, blinded by outdated racial theories and ironically has more in common with the expressed opinions of Marx and Engels who were very anti-Slavic, than true German patriotism in whose natural interests there would be nothing but friendship with Slavic peoples. I am particularly very supportive now of German-Polish reconciliation.

@@seanjobst1985 your Not brainwashed Like this comment above bravo

@@fuxihutterer8088 Thank you! It couldn't be any other way having an Oma with PTSD from the bombardment and a father (born after the war) who grew up when they were rebuilding. So I got another side that challenged the narrative. Then coming of age I delved deeper and found the compelling arguments of what can be called the Revisionists. Philosophically, I am an Anarchist so nothing to do with National Socialism - but nothing to do with the Western plutocracies and sure as hell don't like the Communists. So I see the establishment's history as hypocrisy and self-serving, and so often what they use to claim against "Nazis" they actually intend it against the entire German nation and people. I hate to see what has happened to Germany since 1945 (and I've been to Stuttgart (our hometown after my ancestors moved from their rural village along the Wurttemberg/Bayern Staats border) and Munich). A psychologically defeated people, too much PC making people even second-guessing harmless thoughts much less speech.

in that kind of situation, sarcasm is normal. shitty situations bring it out, just ask any veteran thats ever been deployed anywhere.

Steve Smith I believe one already exist it’s called generation war

When I was in the Army I spent 2 years in northern Germany. I love Germany, this was in the mid 80s, I spent the majority of my free time with Germans. At the time it seemed that most Germans did not want anything to do with nationalism and had little interest in federal politics. It was really hard to find a connection to the Germans of the 1930s and 40s and the Germans of the 1980s, most Germans seemed to want to forget that WWII ever happened.
