I spent 9 years in Germany up til 2000 with the British army, and married a local. Her Grandad was a disabled man called Erich, a lovely, kind and humble gentleman. He served with the wermacht in Normandy and told me his story, how he was shot in the face by a British patrol whilst in retreat from the coast. A round hit him in the cheek bone which obliterated his jaw and left a gaping hole in the rear of his skull. Despite this, he marched on foot with his platoon all the way back to the German lines over 100 miles, where he found a doctor to treat him. The doctor asked what the problem was, and Erich told him of his injury. The doctor said, well if that's true "where's the bullet then"? Erich felt the back of his bandages and amazingly, it fell out into his palm. By the time I met Erich he had been the local church organist for over 50 years, and was extremely religious. We used to visit him and his wife for coffee and cake, exchange stories and they were just lovely people. Erich used to have to hold his face while he ate, as he had very little jaw bone in his face and there was a danger he could choke on his food. He got tired quickly and suffered immense headaches regularly, so needed to lie down. Despite the sadness of his experiences at war and his disability due to his injuries he would regularly catch the tram into town to go shopping. On one such occasion he was pick pocketed and had his wallet stolen containing all his money and the bullet that he had saved and kept with him all those years. Erich had served in the Deutsche Wermacht, not because of any beliefs, but because he had to, and only had God and his family in his heart. We see these people portrayed still to this day nearly 80 years on as the enemy and as the "baddies" however, Some of those who refused to do their bit were murdered, and many of those who did were just like Erich. Interesting little film
@Truth Seeker I guess you missed the part where the ones who refused were killed. Ill bet you also dont realize that the NAZIs filled many of their ranks with polish and other captured prisoners of war including koreans. I guess they were all nazi pigs too.. your public education is showing through
If I had been German, I would have fought for Germany. Had I been a Russian, I would have fought for Russia. Had I been an American... geography is destiny.
John Ford was a movie director who served as head of photographic unit for the office of strategic services and made documentaries for the navy department. he filmed the Japanese attack on midway ( was wounded in the arm). He was on Omaha Beach for filming D Day too. Very little footage was released to the public because the us government was afraid to show so many casualties on the screen. according to wikipedia his film of D day was lost over the years. but you can find his film of the attack of midway. pretty badass cameraman
@Tony Steinberg I know what you`re saying But dude, (only if you know where to explore in internet) not all the information about history or military in internet is true
My uncle (a paratrooper) was killed in Crete during that invasion - I watched in its entirety a few years ago - This is a brilliant point in the mini-series, where the brothers actually exchange places - the studious pacifistic brother replaces the family Hero - the combat footage is top notch, along with the dialog and emotive tone - not many war films can claim this level of authenticity and pathos
I recently read about Crete and what a horrific waste of life it was. Young boys in their prime, landing on enemy positions, only to be disembowled by bayonets as they fought to get their harnesses off. Then when the tide turned, confused allies caught in crossfires and aerial bombardments, or being led by generals too inept to read a map. WW1 and WW2 were truly criminal in all that blood they squandered
I love how the German soldiers are humanised unlike so many other movies where they are just mindless evil villains all the time. This movie treats them as who they really were - humans with real thoughts and feelings.
You people don't write nonsense. Those in the Wehrmacht were the same war criminals who murdered children, women and the elderly. The Germans murdered infants in their extermination camps. Today they are trying to make themselves victims of World War II, which is completely untrue.
В книге "Я из огненной деревни" собраны свидетельства тех, кто чудом выжил после уничтожения деревень в Белоруссии. Как женщин убивали с детьми на руках, как младенцам вспарывали животы штыками, как детей бросали в огонь. Вот настоящее лицо фашистов.

Great Grandfather was into motorcycles long before the war, he was with the 1st Hassars Tank Battalion i believe, some point in the convoy there was a little skirmish and a German motorcycle was left abandoned by a motorized scout unit, he ended up dismounting the tank during rearming and regrouping and took it for a spin. giving officers a ride to the front and back of the columns. At some point the columns got the order to press forward and they started rolling out, there was a break in the road, one leading to a FOB in a town. and one path lead right through no mans land straight toward the German front lines. Whilst he was goofing off, he managed to lose sight of the convoy and ended up rolling down the road to the German lines, thankfully, the motorcycle ended up running out of fuel and oil due to a few well placed bullet holes in the tanks. Having better judged his surroundings and his current route he ended up turning around and walking back to the fork where a few angry officers and friends were waiting for him. He was the only man I'm aware of that was in no mans land before any big assault. all the while hooning around on a German motorcycle. Whether or not everything said is true, its broken telephone from the man himself.
My uncle was a WWII bombardier. Right after he lifted his head from the scope (looking for their target), flack tore through his sighting system, barely missing his head. He lived a long life in Sacramento California.
My grandfather's brother reached Berlin and went missing. In 1993, we received a registered letter from a certain Ada Schneitz in Russian to the old address of my grandfather in a village in the Altai, in which none of our relatives, the Usoltsevs, had lived for a long time, but it was lucky that the director of the school had a connection with the military registration and enlistment office and the letter was delivered to US. turns out to be grandfather's brother Alexei Usoltsev and lives in Canada. Berlin has indeed been awarded the Order of the Red Star. but during the year of his stay in Germany, he fell in love with a German woman, Elda Weimer, and having read that the duty to the Motherland completely fulfilled the difficult decision to stay with Elda. Together they emigrated to Switzerland and to the USA and Canada. Aleksey Usoltsev lived under the name Alex Vaimer until the age of 87, worked as a mechanic on a ship, bought a house from him 2 daughters Ada Schneitz, they never met with my grandfather Semyon Usoltsev (also a veteran of the BVO). In 1998, Alex Weimer came to visit Russia. At that time he was 80, but he was a peppy and fit old man, who spoke Russian perfectly, told an amazing story of his life, how he traveled almost the whole world. how much he missed and worried about his relatives, how once he met in the port in a Russian ship, having heard his native speech, he almost gave up everything and wanted to return, but he already had a family, and it is vaguely revealed how he will be met. The war took a lot from him, but it was not accidental either. How could he think as a kid, living in a remote village, that someday he would visit almost all the capitals of the world. In 2005, he was gone.

My Lamprecht family came to East Prussia in the 17th century as settlers from Switzerland and the Palatinate. In the 19th century, one of them settled on the lands of the Russian Empire and Lamprecht lived happily there. In 1920, Poland came to these lands and Lamprecht became a Pole. He defended Poland in the Polish-Soviet War. He received the highest awards. During WW2, the Russians took him to Siberia to work. My father was born there. Lamprecht, taken into the Polish army, crossed the entire front and captured Berlin. There, 1945 met German POWs for registration. One of them was Lamprecht. They stared into each other's eyes for a long time. They each went their own way. Today I live in Warsaw, Poland.
Eh. Relatively. Grenades don't explode in massive fireballs, cars aren't bullet proof and don't make good cover at all, it's well done for a series, but still lots of cinematographic inconsistencies.
Both my father and grandfather fought in WWII., on the German side. My grandpa blew off his hand, fighting the Russian. My father was a volunteer. My grandpa was a draftee. . Never lump anyone into a bag. Js
This is a masterpiece,well acted and beautifully shot,and really quite sad.Loved the characters,the most intriguing one was the pacifist brother.Attention to detail was impressive,the German kit and uniforms were very accurate.The battle scenes were great,I think it is as good as band of brothers,if not better.
@@kobiimpraim4838 Я посмотрел все серии весь фильм от начала до конца. Все как в реальной жизни. Актеры показали зрителям реальные переживания на войне. Замечательный фильм для нашего поколения.
Friedhelm was really tragic character in this series. First he was almost pacifist looking at war horrors happening, later he got slowly changed and didnt care much about anything anymore.
In war movies in battle scenes you almost don't need to "act" :D !!! I was in war movie casting... I had to "act" that I get under surprise bombing and i have to hide myself in trench... As soon as the bomber plane sound started from loudspeakers and casting director started to scream at me "BOOMM, explosion!!!" another "BOOMM, explosion!!!" , etc,etc I was down on floor in the room corner and trying to make myself as little as possible!!!! My hands were shaking like 30 minutes after the end of casting :D !!!
Pretty much what was said , it’s the immersion of it that makes it feel like you’re really there you really are being shot at yada yada, studios and movies and directors even actors have all came a long way and it shows
@@notahuman3899 every army used some kind of drugs. Waffen ss used anfitamin or mollu little doses . Thats why they wrre so fierce and everyone was scared of them! They fought till death! They didnt care and they didnt feel anything under those drugs.

Fuck off and focus on ruining you’re own day instead of everyone else’s.
Joseph Stalin damn, can’t argue with that. You’ve REALLY convinced me that I’m in the wrong here. Well, no loss for me. You’re still an asshole who just wants to shit on people for no reason, other than the fact that it makes you feel artificially powerful. And other people will see that as well. Good day.
One of the most awesome videos I've ever seen, although I'm not a fan of one soldier rushing and tearing the defences in a moment of rage without the multiple machine guns getting a shot at him.
I believe it did happen, something straight out outrages. Look at band of brothers with ronald speirs, its not unrealistic but obviously not highly frequent. Imagine you are simply reloading behind your sandbag or what not and some german comes rushing your position. Things can go really quik when you are not watching a certain angle.
Damn, once the sergeant went down almost all of them didn't know what to do. Even the Lieutenant lmao. Thats why sometimes NCOs with combat experience outrank junior officers
From the series the leutnant was a veteran already at this point taking part in Poland, France and Barbarossa, he was more in shock with losing so many men.
Man its no real footage, its modern made movie!🤣 And if so.. its not even 1940! Russian posters on walls, so its after 1941...what idiot could think that is 1940.
I watched these trilogy in high school, back and forth ten times. (I admire you’ll act like you can understand German movies with out English subtitles😂)
Damn I just realized that the lieutenant (I think he's a lieutenant) is the main character from Babylon Berlin. So he's staring in two great German TV dramas. Good for him.
I don’t mean to come as an ass or anything but the silver shoulder boards he has with the single gold diamond means Oberleutnant, so yeah your kind of correct if it’s just the silver by itself it’d be Lieutenant if it has two that’d make him a Hauptmann

more often than not close range fighting was done with a bayonet, even for the Americans. The MG42 was a pretty devastating weapon, but if it was disabled a large portion of the German squad's firepower was gone. Whereas if an American Browning Machine gun was destroyed, the squad could make up for it somewhat with fire from the BAR and M1 Garand.

death to fascists and nazis!!! The most savage and cruel death!!! No mercy for any vile fascist or Nazi! Whoever comes to Russia with the war will die and go to meet Hitler. Fascist BASTARDS!!!
From what I've watched on this im assuming the guy that got hit by the rocket at the end was constantly suffering shell-shock but was looked after by his fellow men. His death threw thiwr leader into a suicidal fitness rage that made him run into enemy fire to avenge him. This move or series (im unsure) really knows how to pack a punch
WIlhelm was the brother of the guy who ran out at the end with the MP-40. The entire series follows the story of 5 teens. The brother joins the Wehrmacht when they start operation Barbarossa untill the chaotic retreat back to Germany, a jew gets deported, one girl becomes a military nurse on the eastern front and one girl stays in Berlin and becomes involved with a highranking Nazi member. They make a pact to be at the same place one year later but then the war grows and swallows them all in one way or another.

@@jokersnewface5318 these werent Nazi’s, these were the Wehrmacht. Which basically means the army of Germany. Most of them were normal people that were ordered to fight and on occasion do bad things because they are obligated to follow orders by oath. During the war and even after, many german soldiers were treated as equally evil because of what the SS did and were executed for it by russians and americans. But in reality they were just young boys scared to the bone born on the wrong side of the war.
Is it just me or is it annoying to see people comment criticizing what’s realistic and what’s unrealistic, like to tell a story of course they need to take some creative liberties
You have a lot of veterans commenting here who have seen some shit. I myself have played castle wolfenstein numerous times so i can also comment on what is realistic and not.
I find it fun to discuss realism in these type of scenes because ive studied this a lot. And the fact that this is such a realistic movie makes people analize it more. If it was a over the top, hollywood style movie, no one would analize it becsuse no one expect it to be realistic
To be fair the Stalhandgranate wasn't a frag, it was a high explosive. It wouldnt've been as massive as that unless it was bundled but it's not too far off. My great granddad (British Artilleryman Dunkirk+DDay) is deaf in one ear because of the shockwave from one of em
it's because it sells way better that way. people love to see explosions. also the ending in this clip isn't realistic but it satisfies the viewers who felt bad for German squad. It's supposed to be a rollercoaster of emotions type movie and that's how they do it.
Yeah, bruh. It’s a fuckin’ movie. If you want realism, then how’s about you go fire a single .40 round with no ear protection. You will be essentially DEAF for about 30 minutes. Should a movie DEAFEN you too?

Pretty accurate scene until he chucks that nuclear grenade into the window.
Nuclear grenades were part of the last ditch german weapons
The big explosion was probably because of all the machine gun ammo was stored there...
No that was pretty accurate. who knows what was inside there, probably a box of grenades maybe.
LK HartlyLion That’s what I’m saying
Laughed at this lol, your right though. Grenades don't explode like a 1980's car in the A team.
My Lamprecht family came to East Prussia in the 17th century as settlers from Switzerland and the Palatinate. In the 19th century, one of them settled on the lands of the Russian Empire and Lamprecht lived happily there. In 1920, Poland came to these lands and Lamprecht became a Pole. He defended Poland in the Polish-Soviet War. He received the highest awards. During WW2, the Russians took him to Siberia to work. My father was born there. Lamprecht, taken into the Polish army, crossed the entire front and captured Berlin. There, 1945 met German POWs for registration. One of them was Lamprecht. They stared into each other's eyes for a long time. They each went their own way. Today I live in Warsaw, Poland.

Eh. Relatively. Grenades don't explode in massive fireballs, cars aren't bullet proof and don't make good cover at all, it's well done for a series, but still lots of cinematographic inconsistencies.

Generation War
The acting is so good it almost looks like they are running purely on adrenaline.
In war movies in battle scenes you almost don't need to "act" :D !!! I was in war movie casting... I had to "act" that I get under surprise bombing and i have to hide myself in trench... As soon as the bomber plane sound started from loudspeakers and casting director started to scream at me "BOOMM, explosion!!!" another "BOOMM, explosion!!!" , etc,etc I was down on floor in the room corner and trying to make myself as little as possible!!!! My hands were shaking like 30 minutes after the end of casting :D !!!
Pretty much what was said , it’s the immersion of it that makes it feel like you’re really there you really are being shot at yada yada, studios and movies and directors even actors have all came a long way and it shows
They were taking Pervatin - speed. Elsewhere in the series you see them handing it out.
wich is a funny fact that germans used meth to keep on going. just spot on!

"Tears clear the dirt from my eyes to aim true"
One of the most awesome videos I've ever seen, although I'm not a fan of one soldier rushing and tearing the defences in a moment of rage without the multiple machine guns getting a shot at him.
His machine gun didn't run out of bullets.
Yeah but were the Russians really expecting the crazy little shit to do that?
Sometimes all put aggression can achieve what tactics can not.
History is full of true incidents like this. So i would just enjoy the show
I believe it did happen, something straight out outrages. Look at band of brothers with ronald speirs, its not unrealistic but obviously not highly frequent. Imagine you are simply reloading behind your sandbag or what not and some german comes rushing your position. Things can go really quik when you are not watching a certain angle.
Name of the film please.

Ive never been more satisfied with a war scene. What is this from please
Damn, once the sergeant went down almost all of them didn't know what to do. Even the Lieutenant lmao. Thats why sometimes NCOs with combat experience outrank junior officers
From the series the leutnant was a veteran already at this point taking part in Poland, France and Barbarossa, he was more in shock with losing so many men.
This why the Colonist in the Revolutionary War targeted the officers in battle. It is very effective.

Los soldados alemanes eran conscientes de que a corta distancia,el kar 98 es inferior al M1 garand,por eso tenían secciónes de subfusiles y ametralladoras,para compensar el poder de fuego
more often than not close range fighting was done with a bayonet, even for the Americans. The MG42 was a pretty devastating weapon, but if it was disabled a large portion of the German squad's firepower was gone. Whereas if an American Browning Machine gun was destroyed, the squad could make up for it somewhat with fire from the BAR and M1 Garand.

Love how the Director captured the Germans ,specifically SS battalions proclivity to use the fire and move tactic or cover and move .
its always refreshing seeing a different perspective
From what I've watched on this im assuming the guy that got hit by the rocket at the end was constantly suffering shell-shock but was looked after by his fellow men. His death threw thiwr leader into a suicidal fitness rage that made him run into enemy fire to avenge him. This move or series (im unsure) really knows how to pack a punch
WIlhelm was the brother of the guy who ran out at the end with the MP-40. The entire series follows the story of 5 teens. The brother joins the Wehrmacht when they start operation Barbarossa untill the chaotic retreat back to Germany, a jew gets deported, one girl becomes a military nurse on the eastern front and one girl stays in Berlin and becomes involved with a highranking Nazi member. They make a pact to be at the same place one year later but then the war grows and swallows them all in one way or another.

@@adamdesouza6153 I believe that is correct. They were concussion grenades and very effective in closed in areas but no so much in the open.
