    As an American with family that served in the 101st and 82nd airborne. I was not offended at all, even though I was rout rout routing for the home team. This is a stark reminder that everyone fighting, on both sides is a human being. Thank you for showing respect for that fact.

    I'm a US Army Vet. I like the fact that you showed the personal nature of war and what a waste it is. Most of us were in out teens or early 20's when we served. I think the people bitchin about the clean uniforms and weapons, are missing the point. As a veteran from any country, we all have 1 thing in common, we will never forget.
    Good job with your film.

You're right though, this is definitely a great look into the heart of that beast of WW2 and a lesson we should never forget. Thank you for your service Mr Riggs and the writer and producers of this work.

    Excellent presentation - Often non-combatant (and civilian victims) do not understand that "war has a life of its own". We (military) do not want to kill - it was part of my duties to my country, like my parents, grand-parents, etc... had done in the past. Then, your best friend, someone who is like your brother gets "blown up" or shattered to pieces. You cannot cope with that, "the show must go on", no time to figure out what happened, to heal, ... it becomes "them" or "you/us" and sadly enough, things get out of hand very easily - there is no time to think.
    A captured "enemy" was brought up to me, the security detail undressed him almost completely (some carry booby-traps), I saw pictures of his family among the content of his pockets - it is crazy, I was shocked! I was surprised that in this wasteful war, these people (the other side) were like me, had families, houses, pets, kids... I will always remember the tears in that soldier's eyes when we took his pictures and a Rosary (Catholic) away from him, he was a human, he prayed, he wore a (catholic) medal, just like me. We gave him the pictures/Rosary back. It has been decades, still have the nightmares, the scars, the fears... Peace be with you all, Ciao, L (Veteran)

    When snipers were caught, it never ended well for them. There was the sense that it was a coward's way to fight. Not true of course since being a sniper was a very dangerous profession, and if you got caught at the tail end of a firefight, it ended badly for you (as noted above).

    History is subsidised and written by the victors. Even with 10 years without television, my learnings begin with real people. I am 55 now but I started talking to my grandfather about WW1. He was 90+ and bald from the war. He was buried alive. He survived and lost his hair. I remember asking him what it is like being 90 (not about the war because I was too young). His answer from someone who was 90+ to a child sitting on his Knee? "I'm the same person as before but old". Strange what you remember.

      Hey Josh. This is always nice to read. I'm German and myself served for 6 years with the Gebirgsjäger (231. Battallion in Bad Reichenhall) Besides that also a Tour as part of KFOR in Kosovo. I'm 33 now.
      I grew up with American WW2 Veterans (who decided to stay in Germany after the War or move here sometime later) coming over to BBQ my Grandfather hosted in the Summer every Weekend. He was a Waffen-SS Soldier and fought first with the 6th Division "Nord" together with the Finns up in Karelia against the Soviets and later was transfered to the 1st Division "LAH" where he fought against Americans in the Battle of the Bulge or as we call it "Ardennenoffensive".
      During these BBQs he of course also had his former surviving Comrades come over. That Grandfather is now 100 years old and only one of these former American "Enemies and now Friends is still alive at 98 years old. They still meet for Coffee, Cake and sometimes a Beer, but only rarely.
      My point being: It seems Veterans, especially in CZcams Comment Sections are the only ones most of the time who don't spout Hatred and act disrespectful to whatever the Topic of the Video is about.
      Just like my Experiences between former Axis WW2 Veterans and Western Allied WW2 Veterans becoming Friends many Years after the War, no Grudge to be seen, no tense Arguments, no Insults but instead mutual Respect, and of course friendly crude Banter and Jokes about another.
      I hope that becomes more common, i've seen english speaking Media do a few Pieces the past 10 Years on Axis Vet and Allied Vet becoming good Friends after the War, hope we see more of these as long as they're still alive. Or at least that Fact becoming more common Knowledge.
      Prost! and Cheers from Berchtesgaden, Bavaria

    These guys and ParaLight WorX do really good shorts, especially when one considers how low budget they are, and that they can't even afford blank firing weapons, so "painting" in the tracers and muzzle flashes is the best they can do. Would love to see what they could do with s real budget!

    Always liked such projects of simple people, without that well-known propaganda of Hollywood...
    The only big minus i have noticed, is very "new" uniforms, but this has been already discussed by other people here. However, i think everyone can understand that this is because of small budget and not because of producers and other team members' work.
    Again, Nice movie, looking forward for the new movies!

    Every soldier fights for his country ( both sides )...war is horrid...history is written by the winners.
    My father a WW II veteran related a story to me once when I was a child....he never spoke much about his combat experiences...but this one time he did.
    While watching a war movie some SS soldiers shot some American prisoners...I said what rats they were for doing it.
    He looked at me and said we did the same thing....he went on to say his unit had taken a prisoner...with no men to spare to take him anywhere...no way to effectively fight while guarding the prisoner...they gave him a cigerate and while he was preoccupied...he was shot in the back of the head ....unlike the movies or tv there was no animosity or joy in doing it...it just had to be done .
    If they had let him go that day he might have killed another American or other allies .
    Wars are bad and to be avoided by all reasonable means.....but when you're at war...you make war .

      I used to like the Tarantino movie inglourious Basterds. But now I'm older I find it a bit irritating. All the Germans are painted as the Nazis hellbent on world domination and destruction,from the lowest to highest rank. As we know not all Germans were Nazis and most were conscripts.I think younger generation s really lap this "goodie: baddie paradim ,but the world is much more complex than what these stereotypes describe.
