    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.

      We do seem to shelve our humanity while in war. I was in Desert Storm 91 at 19 going on 20. I of course saw things that I will never forget nor fully understand. 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. May we never forget ALL of our fallen and rise above upon their shoulder's to make sure their sacrifices were not in vain!

    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.

    Pretty sure both sides would not have just moved through quite open territory in such a haphazard fashion.

And the first thing you do when any firing breaks out is hit the ground, not stand up, in the open, firing blindly.

    “Of course the people don’t want war.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

      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 TH-cam 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

    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 .

    Great movie! It is is interesting and enlightening to watch German soldiers being portrayed in a modern German movie production as actual people and not just extras or cannon fodder. My German Grandfather fought both on the French and Russian fronts (wounded twice). My great Uncle Rudi was captured at Stalingrad. This is kind of a tribute to them. That’s a good thing. They deserve it.
    My father was an American soldier in Europe in 44/45. He turned 21 in some German berg on VE Day. He and I used to love to watch the series Combat! which, for all its hokey faults, was about the best WWII show you could watch from the 60’s Hollywood genre. He would have enjoyed this short film. I think my Opa Herm would have as well. Not much left of my Uncle Rudi after he got out of the Gulags in 1955. Not sure he could have watched it at all.
    Anyway, good job. Thanks!

      Jeff Smith - thanks for sharing Jeff. Honestly, however, I can’t really agree with your last comment. I am generally okay with the concept of Germany reclaiming some of their rightful lands (ie the Sudetenland) taken from them after WWI, but that is as far as I can find myself supporting (or even understanding) their expanded “cause” in WWII.
      But, with that said and as a Vet myself (no combat) I still respect the courage and sacrifices that the grunts on the ground made on both sides. The famous saying....”there are no atheists in foxholes” can, I think, be expanded to “there are no atheists or politicians in foxholes”. Soldiers are soldiers, for the most part.
      But, again, thanks for sharing. I’ll check those videos out.

Look into the Balfour Declaration and it's part in our entry into WW1, Lusitania's cargo etc. You will have to dig a little deeper than Wikipedia.
      It wasn't like I woke up one day and said, "Ruprect was a dick, but a good boss" and "Earnst was one of the nicest guys I ever met, so the story I was told about WW2 in school was crap." I noticed a lot of little things over the years re WW2 that did not add up. I definitely wasn't told that the Axis had made several serious peace offers before 1942! Take a look at, "A Jew In Auschwitz" by David Cole, "Europa the Last Battle" and maybe "The Greatest Story Never Told". You might have to go to Bitchute or Archive for them. Be well, and have a good winter.

      Excellent post, you covered a lot of ground, and I agree with most of what you said.
      _Combat!_ was a very good series, all things considered...I knew a lot of vets who liked that show, as it tried to be realistic even though it was a prime-time network series. Director Robert Altman got fired in Season One because it was _too_ realistic (he had cast members get killed), but somehow, the series continued along that gritty path for most of the 5 seasons.
      However, I can't recommend things like _The Greatest Story Never Told_. While it tries to tell the other side of the story (and there are always 2 sides), it sinks into absurd propaganda...totally unlike these beautiful films that Pepe makes.

    Tired of reading comments about the cleanliness of uniforms. Maybe a little wear on the helmets and gear would be more realistic, but apparently most people don't know that soldiers washed, cleaned and mended whenever they weren't fighting, which was most of the time. Don't make your movies look like a _Mad Max_ film just because people think it should look that way.

The vets had a film player that showed the clip of Jon Voigt's speech from "Coming Home" to the graduating senior class at a H.S. Afterward, We interviewed the kids waiting to apply for military enlistment. The film touched no one. The answers were all the same. "This has nothing to do with ideology. It's a job. I need a job and this is a job with decent pay and benefits." That is why people are willing to kill others. It is a job. Ethics go amiss when hunger creeps in.
