Fun fact: this movie was Denmark's entry in the Academyy Awards foreign film category. The actor playing Rasmussen initially was denied a visa to come to the US because of a felony record.

A felony for what?

As Herbert Hoover once said, "Older men declare war, but it is the youth that must fight and die."
Herbert Hoover was one of the worst president in US History :)
I don't really like hoover but that quote couldn't be more true
You also see someone post it under every action/war related topic....
I hear something like politicians dictate where and when soldiers shall die. As usually war is started by governments. Most soldiers never want to fight a war, much less one that doesn't concern their country or their own lives. But orders are orders. Insubordination is punished, as is blatant refusal to comply with authority.
The youth outnumber the old by a large margin. They aren't forced, unless another country is invading. They choose to submit and obey. Remember the insurrection in usa capitol? Proof that citizens are capable of resisting a government. Unfortunately they only came together for the purpose of violence instead of improvement.
In vengeance, Denmark developed a type of caltrop that causes immeasurable trauma when you step on it: the Lego brick.
it should be banned by geneva convention
It is our best weapons that gets us money and spreads to every House with kids and comes in all shape and sizes
Denmark has been arming child soldiers with these WMD'S for far too long.
This barbarity has gotten to a point where the main victims are the very parents of these children....
I bet China would done the same too.
Underrated comment.
The fact the Germans were forced to clear their own mines on beaches and flat open areas, most of them were actually not marked on their own maps which made them hard to locate, it was when they noticed that German mines were painted with some sort of radiative paint which made their job easier to clean up the mines

Yeah as a US Army Iraq war veteran. I can tell you the war didn’t mess me up too much. It was what happened after. The last 30 days of my service, the last 10 guys of my unit including me. We were put on funeral detail. So for 30 days straight I had to fold flags and bury people that’s what messed me up the most. Knowing that that’s where I’m gonna end up. And I hope to God the Funeral detail that does my service does a perfect three round Volley & gives my family a crisp folded flag, with the three blank rounds tucked in for me.

One of the best films i've seen. It really changes your perspective about the WW2, great to see it from an other point of view
The problem is that it is historically inaccurate. German officers oversaw the mine removal, not the Danes. They were actually treated well, and almost all off them volunteered for the duty. Casualties were low. This is drama/fiction.
It changed my perspective on immigration. I used to be a hardline border person, but not anymore.
@@davealmighty9638 I think the real message of the film is that innocent people always suffer because of war that had nothing to do with them
@@davealmighty9638 this is mostly propagenda .... often those people had the option to volunteer or to starve to death ..... the reason they had to "volunteer " is it was a warcrime to force POW to do it
@@davealmighty9638 probably better to be a 15 year old removing landmines in denmark than beeing killed/tortured by americans, enlish or soviets in germany.
Somewhat of a true story. I know the British at least had former German sailors/soldiers to do the same, except not as young and they were led by their German officers under British command. Even allowed to wear their uniforms and use german ships(Nazi symbols removed obviously)
it was standard in Denmark and Norway as they used a trick so they don't have to treat them as POW's so they could even send the 15 year olds to clear minefields under terrible circumstances.
@@tokre8880 I never heard of Norway doing it but I remember reading somewhere that german PoW's were forced to clear close to 1.4 million mines after the war. Its worth noting that Denmark and Germany already had a complicated history to say the least prior to being occupied during World War 2 so I can to some extent understand the danes for not caring too much about what happened to german soldiers.
@@Teutathis this "complicated history" was caused by denmark trying to exterminate german culture and language for centuries
@@tokre8880 The British had a starving Europe, the Germans had wilfully destroyed means of moving food, and importing it (such as mining the docks in the Netherlands) other examples are the wilful destruction of the Dutch Rhine barges, and forced the Netherlands into a horrific situation of food shortages, even after liberation, and that was the same all the way across Europe.
The British and Americans also found that they had to feed millions of Germans too. This is very ironic as when the Germans when they had taken over populations, they destroyed and stole the food and did nothing to feed people they conquered.
The British had to get Europe back and running as fast as was possible, and this involved everything from getting fishing boats out of harbours, opening rivers to navigation, locks, dockyards, railways to even opening the Volkswagen plant. All of it mined and subject to German defensive measures, quite dangerous. There was no place to have any sentiment to the thought of the German, after all, in the eyes of my Grandparent who saw Bergen Belson, they had left the human race.
As for 15 year olds, the British Army still had boy soldiers (15 years old), and for many of those German boys, knowing the food shortages, or the risk of ending up in Soviet hands, doing this work, with the British, was a better option than starving in a destroyed Germany.
@@baronbrummbar8691 Why don't you google the events and stop sounding incompetent.
As a former 12B combat engineer I can appreciate this film. Mines are nasty little things and we made them even nastier to remove by adding what we called a 'mousetrap' to the bottom of the mine. It screwed into the bottom and was spring-loaded so if anyone tried recovering the mine and lifted it, the spring would trip and detonate the mine literally in the person's face. Arming these damned things was unnerving because you had to grab something halfway flat to place under the 'mousetrap' to hold the spring in place after removing the pin and pray it stayed there while you were covering the mine. During training with these a couple of guys in my company 'snapped' theirs and our cadre would shout "BOOM!!! YOU'RE DEAD!!!"
Mines should've been outlawed with all the other horrid things outlawed in World War 1...
I'm the 12 bravo that solved this problem.
No worries. Artificial intelligence will soon replace you and the military
@@b789har Yeah they should have. Sadly even the Geneva Convention is regularly ignored. Laws only matter inosfar as they can be enforced.
@@b789har IHL lawyer here! Anti-personal landmines were successfully outlawed in 1997 and many States have ratified the ban treaty. Unfortunately the worst modern offender, Russia, isn't even a signatory and continues to use them in Ukraine and elsewhere. There is a chance that when Putin eventually falls the next regime will commit themselves to upholding the treaty and undoing some of the damage they've caused.

@@SussyFortnite what's wrong with that?
It took 67 years from 1945 to 2012 to clear all the Mines from the Danish Coast. In fact, during film production, a live mine was discovered on one of the beaches and thankfully never went off. It is unknown where it is was taken or how it was disposed of.

I hate bullies! I wouldn't care what uniform they're wearing!
There's justified "bullying". If people from an evil crop are not punished severely, the universe is contaminated. Feeling any empathy towards them indicates that you are like them and need to be burned with them.
So the Germans also developed a radioactive “camouflage sand” called Tarnsand that they painted the mines with so they could use a Geiger counter to find them, but as the war drug on they got more sloppy with placements and didn’t update their placements on the maps they used to find them. After it was over, Norway did make German soldiers find and disarm the mines. It’s a wonder this wasn’t a crime as they should’ve been treated as POW’s.
This was a war crime! But no one was punished for this.

remember its not a war crime if your on the winning side.
Agree
In France, a resistance fellow named Raymond Aubrac, who participated in the liberation of his country, told a reporter he was given the task of clearing landmines from the French beaches after the war. Both his parents had been deported and had died in concentration camps. He described the math : "both my parents died, and it took 2000 German casualties to free the beaches from mines, so the ratio is in my favor". Horrible period.

Denmark Look more evil than Germany …with this task
This was brutal. Yes. But it was the best option. Who else were they going to get to clear them up? Civilians?
The Allies themselves were not going to clear up the mines after what they had just gone through. The Allies thought, “it was the Germans that inflicted such horrors on this world, and they planted these mines in the first place, so they can disarm them, we will not risk our lives for something that was their fault”
The Allies, especially the Soviets, had little empathy or mercy for German soldiers forced to clear minefields, sometimes even without proper equipment and just forced to walk minefields.

Collective guilt is the most evil idea that has ever existed. It needs to be eliminated in all its forms.
Fuck that.
The Germans collectively did the same exact thing to tens of millions of people in Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, etc etc... whatever country they could collectively get their disgusting hands on.
Without collective punishment of the German people, they would've started another war within a generation(see WWI).

Also to add to it the Danish government tried to blame the British as they were the ones who made the idea though this later fell apart when it was confirmed that British and Danish troops helped enforce it and that the Danish government didn’t do any form of resistance to the idea of using POWs

@@sergeanthardass I know,
But if it did..
Seems do you didn´t know where the border was in those days!!!
he dont send them running across another minefield - he makes them run 500 meters towards the german border so they can get home on their own.
So this is interesting: how everyone in hindsight see this as a terrible thing but people at the time viewed this as perfectly fine compared to what they had to deal with. Extermination squads killing jewish people, sending them to camps etc. and I understand towards the end of the war there were kids enlisted in the forces as a last ditch defence. It’s interesting to look at really. It’s not a good thing at all but I think this speaks to the human psyche as at the time most people in the armed forces viewed this as justified, after all: they put the mines there they can take them out kind of mind set. Then there is the harsh treatment, these people viewed the Germans as the boogeyman and they hated the Germans for what they did. These feelings don’t go away when the war ends and people remember this. We don’t show contempt or anger(or at least as much) because we weren’t there and we haven’t witnessed these events first hand, but the people who fought the Germans did and some though they were butchers while others respected the ability of the Germans while still fighting them, it all gives a scope for us.
lmfao
I think this is the point....human beings should be stronger than just simply follow "an eye for an eye"...we will become the same "evil" that we fought and in the end everyone is blind...
Rubbish. Do you know why the French and the British hate the Germans most? Not because of all the terrible war crimes Germany did. I tell you why: Germany almost fucked up both countries and without the Americans they both would have been forced to submission. That is the real reason. It is the stupid pride both countries still maintain. Forget this human thingy.

Very good war story
The Captain is a very very competent actor who has risen in the late years.
I can recommend the danish movie R in which he stars in. Everyone who loves prison movies should watch that one.
There were alot of germans who fought because they were forced to. Pretty sure.
Yeah conscription lol
there was a massive conscription..... even commies were forced to fight.... every male had to fight if he wasn't working in "Kriegswichtige Industrien" and those who did not fight where often humiliated and bullied so they often volunteered in the end.
@@slavunion6251 nah thats wrong I can tell most men in my family that Lived in ww2 fought in the Wehrmacht and everyone knew about the Camps but not about the genocide
@@slavunion6251 yep till 1937 ther where american journalist in some of the camps ---
every man from 16 to 60 could be drafted by law ..... and manny where forced into combat earlyer
My grandfather was part of a mineclearer company during his time as a POW in France. They didn't get any food, but since they cleared a vineyard, they were allowed to eat all the grapes they secured.
Edit: And before anyone objects: To circumvent the warcrime issue, all of the mineclearer POWs officially joined the French army, I still have the document.
When reading the comments, reading arguments like "this was a war crime" and "they deserved to clean up their own mess"...
Guys, watch this great movie again.
Where can I stream this?
Seems to me that we have tanks with heavy metal fingers to do mine clearing jobs nowadays. Even back during and after WWII, that could have been done to avoid needless deaths. I can understand during the fog of war that soldiers have no choice but to clear mines by hand, but not in instances like this. Those jobs should be done by heavy machines designed for the purpose of clearing mines and/or EOD personnel who are properly trained.
Know why it wasn't done with the available equipment from the British after ww2?
Because the danes and the brits agreed it would be cheaper.
Bad guys won WW2.
@@Sercer25 No, Hitler was a madman. So was Stalin. But the Brits and other Euro nations have lived with hostility for centuries. I've come to realize that all races are capable of atrocious behavior toward the vanquished.
Nobody gave a fuck about sending mine clearing devices there
But the historical unit did have a German tank for that purpose
Considering it'd be only anti personnel mines, the tank would be safe.
Whats the piano song that plays during the video?
Edit: Song is Tears in My Eyes by Serge Pavkin
"Land of Mine" or "Land of MINES"?? ...say what you want about war, but this one was a punch in the stomach...
Great movie.
In case some people don’t know this actually took place this movie is based on what really happened More or less.
The twins were so nice 😭😭😭
I hope this recap inspires viewers to see the film in its' entirety.
I've seen this movie, very grim
not all nazis are bad some just want to leave and return home to their families
Some yeah. But a vaste majority of Germans (an entire generation) grew up in a society where Nazi ideology was considered justified or even valid.
Many of the old generations also whole heartily suppoted adolf and his party. So yeah. Fuck em.
@@jameslegrand848 soy boy
They legit were. But not all Germans were nazis.
There are bad people in every place
I'm legit curious, do you also feel this way in regards to ISIS fighters?
Anh hát bằng cả trái tim bảo sao mà cứ ngọt lịm như vậy. Bài nào cũng cảm xúc luôn
Such an amazing movie
Loved this movie
Kinda funny the big strong danish troops fought for 6... hours before surrendering , afterwards beating up young unarmed teenagers was truelly heroic ( sarcasm)
Unfortunately people even today would cheer for this kind of actions, not thinking how thier becoming inhumane like they were.
and i would be one of them to cheer, you gotta clean up your own mess
@@d.k8257 people like you are actual psychopaths.
@@d.k8257 Not every man given a gun is also one who shoots another. You’re very childish to have that sense of logic. Do you suggest we arrest every white man in the US and have them work in cotton fields because of slavery in the 1600-1800s?
@@d.k8257 The thing is, these kids neither ordered the mines to be laid, nor were they the ones to actually lay them, considering the "Atlantic Wall" has been build mostly in 1943-1944 but Germany's last soldiers were either kids who were volunteered straight out of classrooms or people previously impaired from service.
So, essentially it'ss the same "collective guit" crap the Nazis believed in when they blamed entire ethnicities for the alleged actions of a few.
@@Exodon2020 ''Germany's last soldiers were either kids who were volunteered straight out of classrooms or people previously impaired from service'''
No they weren't? 80% of soldiers serving in the german army at the end were actual soldiers and not volksturm likes this load of dogshit would have you believe.
''these kids neither ordered the mines to be laid, nor were they the ones to actually lay them'''
90% chance they did lay them down. why use POW's from Italy to clear mines in denmark?
It's not a crime if the Brits say so! They were designated as "unarmed combatants".
Hatred for one another is truly an evil illness.
War is hell.
Hell you only get bad people in. Wars full of people who don't deserve to be there.
War is fun
Sad fact: it's base on real life
👍
Great movie
One cruelty to another does not fix the wound and does not heal the pain!
What if they ran off into another mine field at the end.....
the mine fields where on the west coast incase britain tried an naval invasion ---- it is part of the atlantic wall
As a dane i can say this is accurate
amazing film.
