A solid German TV mini-series produced from the point that "we weren't all Nazis" and "War is hell". Acting is very solid, characters are good, the action sequences and gear both very realistic. Four storylines carry you throughout the three parts. As with anything having to do with Germany's role in the war, there will be parts some people have trouble with. There are a few too many cases of paths crossing in Russia but we'll chalk that up to dramatic license. I enjoyed it. The DVD came with everything advertised and played cleanly with no trouble using subtitles.

The DVD itself was good. Clear picture and no tracking problems. The movie review.... Interesting movie. As for the plot......well, I guess you/me/someone, might maybe/could say, that there is sort of a Political Correctness to this. No one in GERMANY at the time, was a REAL NAZI. Rrrrright. Well, it just seems that no one will admit to it. So, whatever.

What happens when the country you love betrays everything you believe? Watch Generation War to find the answer. The characters are a perfect fit for their roles. I don't care for war movies, however, I found this intruiging so I watched it. It's not an easy film to watch by any means, yet it made me realize that there were many in Germany who did not always agree with what they saw going on even if they were in the military. It covers the lives and events of five friends & the twists & turns of their lives in their war torn homeland. A young man I know had found the film and we have watched it. We have had many discussions about WWII. I learned so much from the film and the discusssions. I highly recommend this film.

It's always nice to get another perspective on a period in time that changed the world forever. Here in the U.S. most major films are about the Western Front and the role of the United States. It's nice to see how it effected the Eastern Front and the young men and women that suffered and endured much more and for far longer than The United States did. We were all just following the orders of the leaders of the countries we loved and trusted. The English subtitles were done very well and were not hard to follow in the translation. Great movie. A must see for WWII enthusiasts.

I can't really describe the subject as "entertaining" as it's incredibly serious. But well worth watching, indeed, I watched the lot in one go. Terrific character development and (interwoven) storylines. My only criticism was the very end, a bit Hollywoodish. I was familiar with one of the actors, Volker Bruch, from Babylon Berlin and he plays his role perfectly. Thoroughly recommend.
