This film is very underrated for what it it is, and its nice to see a film that has Germans shown as actual people for once.

My grandad lied about his age to join up as his parents wouldn't let him join. He was 15 through training and 16 when he attacked the beaches of Normandy. He survived everything the Germans threw at him. He was told to go into a church tower to see what he could see of a village in Germany and as he got to the top step he was hit in the leg by a German soldier. He fell down all the steps with all his kit hitting him on the way down. He was laid dazed for a minute or 2 before he sat up and as he did so he was sat looking at 3 German soldiers in a window opposite him. He knew he was a dead man whatever he did so he stuck 2 fingers up at them and told hem to fcuk off. They were laughing and waving at him like kids do in a play ground for a few minutes, and so easily could have shot him. This infuriated my grandad......but he laughed about it telling me this story as I was a child. He said he believed they were like him....tired of killing....tired of seeing their friends killed, as he was and spared him. I like to think this also. Plus his Sgt major ordered a bren gun to plaster the window they were in which they duly scarpered. My grandad said they could easily have been his friends from school with their same cheeky banter.

Truly excellent….respect from Canada

Brilliant work mates👍👍 Greetings from Germany

Team Beard, this is literally my great-grandad's story. Your actor even looks exactly like him...in his case, it was shortly after the war had ended, and he and the other soldiers were under orders to shoot any German they saw, on sight. He went over to a bush to answer nature's call, and found himself confronted by a petrified German soldier - raised his rifle, told the man to get up, and very quietly motioned to him, 'scarper!'. The German scarpered. What happened to him later we will never know - he might have reunited with his family, or he might have been spotted and killed the same day, but thanks to one 23-year-old private, at least he had the chance. My great-grandad never spoke of the war for about 70 years, not even about what he did on D-Day, nothing. This story he only told us in the last few years of his life. He died on 6 June 2018 - D-Day.

really thought provoking ...excellent work , Team Beard Films

Excellent done! Wonderful acting as well!

This film is excellent. Great acting and performance. It's show the human aspect of the war. Making things about live, love and the pain soldier have. Thank you very much for this video. Have a great day. A. Valentin USN & FMF RET.

As soon as he turned around and they locked eyes with each other they were allies in terms of recognising the other's humanity, and at that point the only enemy was war!

Very good film. Should be screened on tv! 👍

That was such a sad but wonderful war short film I've ever seen in a while well done!

This was excellent with a great message , god bless all who died in that terrible war on all sides

this brought a tear to my eye. just two boys brought into a war. husbands, fathers, sons. how many wasted lives. may we remember our grandfathers with loving memories and may we never forget the horrors of war. lest we forget indeed

Well done! This should get far more views and accolades ~ Subbed

WOW, that was actually pretty damm good, never seen you folks before, glad I found you, good work

Fantastic work. War is such a terrible duty.

Wow ,just amazing and emotional👏🏼👏🏼💯

This got me very emotional. Such an excellent film this is, great work

Amazing work!

Powerful and thought provoking film…..superbly done.

Brilliantly done by all involved. It managed to portray in less than 15 minutes what many epic films miss. The stupidity of war, where young men are sent to kill each other because their governments tell them to when in another time, in another place they may have become friends.

This was excellent!

Sehr gut gemacht!!!!

Good job. U need a corporation with PLW Germany. Greetings from Germany.

Do really two soldiers on a patrol make philosophical discussions?

And here's another short WW2 film made by enthusiasts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpt3hd2krtaXnJs.html

It’s a war crime the first Sean

All of this Disney “Kumbaya” humanity is what people who have never been to war wish war was like. But it’s not. We take the family photos and letters from enemy dead as souvenirs. And maybe their gold fillings too, and maybe while they’re still alive. And a soldier would never drop his rifle in the dirt, and never put it down in a combat zone.

Churchill claimed to be fighting for freedom and democracy but in reality he was defending globalism and the bank of England. If you doubt that then check out the Rudolph Hess flight to Scotland

Quien traduce esto?,😂vaya tomadura de pelo .

Dome movie

110 MILLION TO BE MORE PRECISE, LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF FASCISM.

Erm.... I hate to be that guy but you lot are clueless about small unit maneuvers or military discipline. Is it a good film still? Dunno. I know aa much about filmmaking as you do about soldiering I suppose. Pro tip: you see a grenade land next to you, try to not step over the ruddy thing while you clear out. That's how lineages end. 😄

Awesome Work!
