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.

Robert Vanleeuwen While it wasn't as seamless a movie as I'd normally like. It was a good portrayal. There were a few language issues and this movie would have been excellent in true languages, fluent German is what I kept wanting to hear and it's honestly the only reason it took me 3 days to watch. The film itself was in high quality and pleasing to look at. Not to mention the message was important. You who judge against these men are the trash, not them. The sacrifice made by the German soldiers to defend their homes and their homeland, not to mention, arguably rid the world of an even worse regime in Russia - while we the US called Russia (40 million killed in genocide, much more than Germany) - our Ally is completely stupid. This movie reminds us that we are looking at this all wrong. Stop looking at the political case and start looking at the human one. Deep and powerful. Highly recommend. once they put the true languages in. LOL It'll be on my shelf.

wubbs-52324 What a joke of a movie. Poor production, the most apologist German thing I've ever seen. I am a student of WWII. The atrocities committed by the Germans in Russia are glossed over in the guise of one man losing his faith in ultimate victory. Its all patriotic nonsense when the principles knew they were losing, and they knew why. Highlights are American atrocities when their group is transferred to the west. A few of those certainly happened, but comical compared to German activity in the east. There's just nothing good to say about this film.

mrZillion I am amazed of the large amount of low ratings. This is not a Hollywood movie and I do admit some dialogues could have been better acted. But it is refreshing to see an attempt to view the war from the side of the Waffen SS. I was not bored and the fighting scenes may not be spectacular, but they are there and I did not get bored or annoyed. I did not feel at all that this movie was meant to glorify the Waffen SS or The Third Reich.
