The subtext of the opening lines is amazing. "My name is Peter Muller, and I was there." This is a battle-hardened valorous soldier of the Wehrmacht confiding in us that he considers himself a child, still making the same mistakes that his father tried to warn him of. He exhibits shame and dignity at the same time in his admission. These two feelings stay with us through the entire mission.
@@pladapus8968 If that is what you think then you have missed every bit of characterization, conflict, and consciousness that the writers put into this part of the campaign.
@@kunaiguywot Why should a soldier feel shame for doing his duty? Peter Muller was a fictional tank commander, tasked with eliminating forces that were attempting to destroy the very country he resided in with his family. And yet you say he should feel shame for defending his nation and doing his part to protect the ones he loved from the enemy. Just because your German doesn't mean your evil. And my grandfather can attest to that.
@@pladapus8968 hoooooh boy this wasn't my plan for today... Here we go i guess. I never said he should be ashamed. I never said he was real. I never said he was evil. I never said Germans are evil. I never said that home and family should not be protected. I said: He. FEELS. Ashamed. Is he ashamed of his actions? No. He is ashamed of his inaction. When he was a child his father reprimanded him for being there and doing nothing. His self-shaming admission "And I was there" connects his childhood story to the time the game is set in. He witnessed his countrymen slip deeper and deeper into the atrocities of the Nazi regime and did nothing to stop them. He spends the campaign being faced again and again with the fact that his leaders were wrong in method and in doctrine until finally he can no longer defend his inaction against them. He resists admitting it; fighting for victory, fighting for the crewmates, fighting for Germany, fighting for honor. One by one his philosophical defenses collapse and he is left fighting for an indefensible nation and an indefensible belief. His actions were never the problem. He saw the problems in his countrymen but chose to do nothing about them and that is his shame that he is expressing Is his shame justified? Doesn't matter. This is a story, not a therapy session. Also I don't care about your grandpa. Why should I? That's a rhetorical question. Drop that point if you have any sense.
I love that the authors of this story aren’t afraid of controversial protagonists or following the axis powers to show a different side of the story we all know Mad respect for the writers
I’d love a ww2 game from a Japanese solider perspective , im tired of the allied side . There’s always two sides of a story , let’s see the German and Japanese side of ww2 in a game .
@The-Lonely-Janitor 659 he didn't want to kill everyone did he?But yes he did want to conquer the world which every dictator king or Emperor all of them wanted to?Didn't they?Napoleon too did wanted to do but he failed but he was a kind person so he is bad because he wanted to conquer the world?
You guys are all haters, even if they were Nazis ,they were fighting for there country do remember this they lost world war one, world war two started a few years later you don't think the Germans wants revenge,sure Hitler killed alot of Jews and people still don't know why, respect for the dead, but he did what every king did in the past, even Genghis khan did things
"Maybe not he said. But you were there." "My name is Peter Muller Commander of Tiger tank number 237, *and I was there*." "Because we're not falling back. We're pushing forward." "I struggled to recognise my own lies." Damn Peter, what a character!
I think he wasn't shot really, the americans shot the shitty kid before he had the chance to shoot Müller. Otherwise he wouldn't have narrated his story at the beginning. What bothers me though, is that he didn't narrate at the final scene of his story. Probably because he couldn't say anything, because of Kertz being shot by the kid. That's just my take on the final scene. (Hope it was like that though.) But though I really don't blame the kid, he was someone who was blinded by the ideals. I would've done the same really.
So this is what it feels like to be on the losing side of a war. Nice to finally see the other side, instead of the All American Boy story we often get in WW2 games.
Seriously, in my opinion we should get like a mini campaign about the opposite side were we get "First we have them at their peak during the beginning of the war, then when the war turns on them and they are all in disbelief, and last part takes place in the last months of the war after having lost many friends and practically the last of their unit prepares to make one last stand". Cause we already know what the US ending is in WW2 games

Just realized that the stripes indicating the number of kills 237 has confirmed goes from near the muzzle brake to almost covering the whole barrel giving you an idea on how long they've served
Kill rings on a tanks main gun actually make the tank a bigger target. Everyone wants a piece of the enemy for killing their friends and family. A tank with a bunch of kill rings is basically saying "I'm the one who did it, come get me."
@@snowwhite7677 2 things: How would they be able to see the kill rings from far away? Wouldn't they just shoot them regardless if they have kill rings or not?
I'm fairly certain those may be a trick that the americans used to concealt their long-barreled Shermans among normal ones, just falsely applied to the Germans. The rings were meant to break up the silhouette of the gun and help it blend in with foliage and obscure which way the gun was pointed.
thats a throwback and a half. ( fun fact PFC joseph allan can actually be seen in COD WaW at the very first mission when the boats take the wounded away at the start)
Peter is definitely alive, there are a few times where he narrates his thoughts at the time, meaning he’s telling this story to someone after these events happened, and he would obviously have to be alive to do that.

See it as North Korea, you’re not loyal and you don’t support the leader? That could cost you your head. This makes them so they can only do one thing... believe. You can see after he shot Kertz and when Müller ran to him that he was confused... that just says it all...
The Last Tiger currently resides in the Bovington Tank Museum in England where it eventually ended up after being captured by the British in Tunisia. It has been fully restored and the original engine replaced by one from a Tiger II so it is fully operational and was used in the 2014 movie Fury.
The Last Tiger actually makes you feel you're fighting a losing war. No matter how hard you try and how many you lose, you can't turn the tide. Grateful they decided to share this experience. It make you realize that not all war can be won and justified in the end. Very sad indeed
You should read the manga 'The Black Knight Story'. It tells the story of a German tank company called The Black Knights during the last 3 years on the Eastern front. How they try to keep the Red Army from invading Germany while the situation gets worse and worse.
@@teamcastro9187 He indeed survive, you know why? You can here a phrase in the last moments of the cut scene of the cathedral "he wanted to do a reassment about everything that happend" So that means, he is talking in the past, that means, he survived, boom, case closed
@@Drache191200 Yes. The Last Gunfire heard before the Story ends is ambiguous.... Could be from Schroders' Mp-40. Or could be from an *American BAR* shooting at Schroder.... If Muller likely survived than it's the latter. I like to think in the future when we get an American War Story in Europe it would intersect with the German one! Perhaps an American medic could save Kertz too :)
what is it with Hollywood movies and big time games making Tigers drive out from good firing positions? "I killed a tank from a covered position....I know.....lets drive over the berm and my perfect cover and expose myself to be shot at..."
@Darren Mandalorian German tanks used maybach gasoline engines. You can google that if you don't believe me. Porche designed a number of tanks with gas-electric drives. There were some prototypes fitted with diesel engines but they never went into production. I have heard, though never confirmed, that some late war tanks used diesel engines, not because they were safer, there was just no gas to put in them. It's also a pretty common myth that the Sherman was a death trap. 0.6 crew losses per knocked out tank. It was one of, if not the easiest tank to escape from in an emergency.
from a realistic point of view?.. because after round 1,2 maybe 3 your position is compromised and, especially in urban fighting, make a tank a sitting duck for infantry. Especially a lone tank
I like how Kertz was portrayed as the moral member of the crew, he knew that his country had gone too far and that it was over, he tried to save Hartman and he tried to save Müller but he only realised when it was too late, and before he could surrender he was killed by someone corrupted by the nation he fought for
You know what i want to do a movie from this story one day the name of the movie is gonna be call the same as the story but the time of the movie maybe up to 2 hours and 40 minutes long in a few words and gonna make this story a movie that is gonna last long
Yes, the world needs to get off the past and if they're going to make more WWI WWII games to include German perspectives in them. I am definietly looking forward a Battlefield game WWI or WWII playing all the time, all the stories as a German soldier.
I think the story Muller tells in the beginning about the candy store is meant to be an analogy for the holocaust and other war crimes. While Muller and his crew may not have committed the crimes, they were still there. Kertz in the end even says something like “the things we did the things we believed”
Could be, though it is unclear these days, how much exactly the general populace and common soldiers of the Wehrmacht knew. On the one hand we know, e.g. from letters written by German Citizens to the Chancellory in Berlin, that they knew, that trains with screaming people in them drove at night through their villages. The citizens in these latters weren't marred by the fact, that there were screaming people herded like cattle in these trains but that they were disturbing the night's quietness and their sleep, so they asked for the trains to be sent through at different times. So they atleast knew that there were "Undesirables" in these trains transported to Who knows where. Also, especially on the eastern front, the SS behind the frontline commanded logistical and manpower aid from Wehrmacht Units, who then participated in SS actions to deport and kill people they considered "Undesirable" and all of this, even the organized killing in concentration camps, happened on such a scale that one can rightfully question the tale that many Germans told immediately after the war that allegedly they were clueless. If you ask me, a modern day German, I can't imagine that no information about what happened made their way back to Germany proper. True, letters could be censored, but eventually soldiers got back on leave, R&R or anything, telling of what they saw. The ones, who were too old to be indoctrinated by the party, maybe some of them did indeed feel guilt and were too ashamed to tell of such events or even taking part in them, having become a murderer. Others, who were indoctrinated by the Nazi party, which spouted for years that the Jewish people, in their sick view, should be eradicated, probably even boasted with such deeds and then it was up to the populace to believe it or not. I think the German populace knew enough to count 2 and 2 together and that they knew, that Jews were not "just" deported and kept alive in some secluded place. Heck, I think the very most Germans today can feel with Kertz in that story, he was a man broken by a war that became senseless, he just wanted it to end, to get home to wife and family. I think historical consensus is that at the very latest Nazi Germany has crossed a point of being unable to win the war at latest in early 1943, with loosing several hundred thousand men at Stalingrad. I'd argue they lost it even earlier with attacking the Soviet Union in 1941 in the first place. Up until then it was a somewhat localized matter, with France beaten and the Germans pounding Britain from the air, maybe just long enough that they'd sign an armistice at some point and Germany could reshape Western and Central Europe to their liking. Damn, we can be happy that the Nazis made the dumb mistakes they did. Schröder is a scary kid, so heavily indoctrinated that his path was destined to end in death (much like the Nazis wanted it, emulating Vikings falling in battle in their crazed mind) and taking down everyone around him with him, utterly incalculable. The commander would've needed to shoot Schroeder to dispose of him and then capitulate with Kertz to the Allies, but that wouldn't have brought the message across.
@@MagiconIceit isn't unclear lmao, my great grandfather was german, and he spoke about how public everything was, everyone saw films at the cinema showing how the Jews were being treated so "wonderfully" in the new camps, they saw the SS and Gestapo raids and street clearings, there was no way you didn't know what was happening. "Oh honey, every shop in the city owned by a jew is suddenly shut down and the owners have gone missing, must be another day"
This is why we needed a German campaign for so long. It simply tells a story that no ailed faction could. Watching as the country you vowed to protect fall apart around you, having to order men to preform actions that would inevitably lead to their death, watching your city burn as you desperately hope that maybe you can still win this like every other story in this series. And in the end their is no triumphant cheer their is no victory... only defeat... and in the end it was all for nothing.... THAT IS THE STORY WORTH TELLING...
Needed, and still need. This is more like a theme park ride that wants you to know Nazis are bad. Nothing even close to the depth of actual single player campaign of a AAA game.
this story was the best it didnt really demonize any of the panzer crew if you think about it it shows they were humans too with feelings and a young boy who didnt know better didnt know when to accept defeat
Not really, he was a really one-dimensional character and he never changed from start to end. His purpose was to act as a folly for Peter and Kurtzs' dissillusionment of Germany's war as ideological indoctrination at its worst. If he finally opened his eyes at the end and put down his gun, thatll be character development.
@@noodleduck8286 I think it goes a bit deeper than that. Schröder sounds very convinced of their victory in the beginning while towards the end, his voice becomes more and more desperate. He's practically begging Müller to assure him everything would end well and starts to lose it when he sees him surrender because deep down he knows they're defeated. His eyes are open but he desperately tries to pretend.
@@noodleduck8286 One dimensional German soldiers like this did exist, they were indoctrinated and radicalized by the lies of National Socialism and Hitler, believing in the face of sheer hopelessness there was a way out where they could regain momentum. Hitler himself, up until only the very last day or so of his life, carried these same delusions. Schroder makes sense, love him or hate him. Guys like him existed all the way up until the end of the war and even after. You can also tell he's struggling, particularly after he shoots Kertz and is practically begging Muller to reassure him and his actions, which is also a very realistic / human depiction. BFV's war stories were pretty shit, The Last Tiger to an extent included, but I can't take fault with how Schroder was presented.. of all that's wrong with this story, he's not one of the major parts of it.
@@actionms8566 When he says "We're Stronger together... Right? Those were your words! Say it! It was like that!" he is on the brink of tears doing exactly what you said, desperate for Müller's approval and reassurance.
Having a perspective of the losing side hits completely different. It's truly a feeling that lasts. I felt the same feeling after watching the movie "Stalingrad". It truly shows the horror both side of the soldiers had to face during WW2.
That would include at least one child-adult execution done by the Wehrmacht. Obviously the SS couldn't be everywhere. Anything for it though, German storylines have a lot of potential given the amount of ups and downs, so it can't be catered for younger teens and below.
You can watch "Generation war", a mini-series (three 1h30 episodes) that depicts 5 german friends from their "enlistment" (a singer, a jewish, 2 brothers in the Wehrmacht and a nurse) to the end of the Reich. But they fight against USSR, not americans
Lunar Games I watched that already. Great mini series! I enjoy seeing what the axis endured. Hoping that it would be finished by Christmas. But they end up getting pushed all the way back to their own country. It’s amazing. Hearing stories of WWII veterans on both sides. We’re losing them now and they have remarkable stories.
the german campaigns of company of heroes 1 are pretty decent. not the usual "everyone is an evil nazi just looking for the next jew to gas" kind of thing but german soldiers drafted into war, trying to defend what's left of their country and trying to make sense of the mess.
This was the type of war story I was hoping DICE would go for. They should have just made a full campaign out of this instead and then added more chapters bit by bit. They had characters that would have been relatable and had conflicts of interest. You have the fanatic who acts irrationally, the tired veteran who has given up, the new recruit who didn't know what to do, and then the level headed commander who has to make all the decisions. They could have had parts where you decide who leaves to scout the tank and whether to shoot any deserters. The choices made would have consequences in the end so that you could end up with either everyone else dead or everyone lives or somewhere in the middle. We would see the crew full of fighting spirit and energy as they're first deployed in battle and then slowly start to see all the cracks in the Reich as it's driven back. In this case, the commander surrendering to the Allies actually makes sense because this is towards the end of the war (Looking at you Battlefront II)
Yeah tell me about it, watching this makes my heart ache because it reminds me of what bfv could have been, this story is just brilliant, honestly it felt like a movie.
That is exactly what I was thinking of ,playing this story . I was emotionally kinda touched by this story but I think If they would have made an entire campaign out of this , I would cry at the end . It would be a great story and I think the best story of any war related fps game
Meanwhile on the eastern front. "Comrade we lost 30000 T-34 tanks charging against concealed AT guns" "No worries, we produce that many in a day, blyat"
I am German, 62 years old, and my father was in World War II in the 3rd Panzer Division from 1941 first a Panzer IV driver, then a Panzer V (called Panther) and this until the end of the war on May 8th, 1945. He raised my siblings and I to be supporters of democracy. At the same time, however, he belonged (like my father-in-law) to the generation of former front-line soldiers who broke off conversations about their own experiences and findings after a very short time. This made it possible for people to seize the power of interpretation who were anything but role models or even "heroes". As for the oath, I'm sure you know that the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were also sworn directly to Adolf Hitler. That's a thought that still makes me shudder to this day. As soon as crimes are committed in the name of an oath, the obligation to take an oath ceases in my view.
My favorite charactor in this is Kertz. He represents the humanity in an otherwise SH*T situation. Even the name Kertz means "Candle" or "Candle Maker". He provides the light and at the end tells Muller the truth about war. Its great animation and great voice acting. At 15:28 the look on Muller face says it all about how Kertz was right.
Some people: You can't put Germany in the game. It's disrespectful Me: Putting Germany in the game is showing respect to the soldiers who fought in WW2 as it shows they existed
@Isaac Woolley Because it's not typical Battlefield. You're not playing as a soldier. Everyone have different clothes and items. It's just Halloween.

@@Teliorus I used to say I hated bf5 but I actually enjoy it. Especially when the pacific theatre update came out. Sure there are a lot of unrealistic but I really like the new mechanics and gameplay
13:23 to 14:00 always makes me shed tears. The music rising as it appears that the world around you is ending is so horrific and beautiful. The best 40 seconds in battlefield to me.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. The commander finally lost all that was behind him.......
My great grandfather was a Jagdtiger commander who fought in the Ruhr, and ended up surrendering his battalion because he didn't want the civvies to get killed. A lot of them called him a coward, but his actions ended up saving the town...I think some of the bravest men are the ones who have the courage to see the bigger picture and know when the fighting is over.
@The Pink Slime my great great grandfather was a Fallschirmjäger. Unlike your story though mine ended up doing various atrocities. Even being one of the people to get Erwin Rommel convicted of treason. All stories end differently for the Germans in ww2 but it is all combined to one.
@james cordan He wasn't a nazi by the way he is telling. He was being a patriot and he was just a common german soldier. You sound like a bolshevik asskisser though.
@du hund i saw this from another video about the ending cutscene. What the final gunshot was is a m3 grease used by the U.S Army. If you take a close look at the american soldiers near the end you can see automatic fire from the American side and them also approaching closer to the tank making it available to kill schroder more easily. When schroder ran out of ammo from firing at the approaching american forces he turned to peter to see him surrendering and thus tried to shoot him but keep in mind we never see schroder reload so he probably shot but the mag was empty, that is also another reason that adds up to peter surviving
Clearly Kertz has not been properly briefed on Steiner's upcoming counteroffensive, which will decisively rout the Allied and Russian forces, once and for all.
This seems so immersive, especially the beginning lines. As a boy back then, he wasn’t the one who stole, but he was there. Referencing to the regime, that he didn’t commit atrocities, but was there (and therefore didn’t do anything to stop it, he just didn’t participate directly) and still feels guilty for the overall
I can imagine the final scene has some shred of reality. I bet there were a few veterans towards the end of the war who had just had enough. They had fought for their country, but not what their country believed in and just wanted to go home.
Yeah people like Rommel who weren’t Nazis, but still fought for Germany and it’s people. A sizable portion of the soldiers fought for the Vaterland and not for the Führer.
I think a lot of people were fed up with the fighting. And they knew they couldnt win. But many soldiers towards the end were boys like Schröder here. The regime drafted many boys at the age of 16. All they ever knew was this Germany, they were brainwashed to believe all this stuff, and so they fought till death. It's so scary to think that I (19 yo German) could have been one of them, fighting for a twisted lost cause...
@@kalleb1530 I can’t remember but I heard somewhere that if Germany had enforced conscription that they would have had at least 5,000,000 more people then the 40,000-80,000 volksturm they mustered, most would have been kids 14-16 and adults 65-80, but the already overly stretched out forces could never have enforced conscription all over Germany thankfully it honestly saved millions of lives from being put into the frontlines
Historically, the tank commander would do route recon. If you read Tiger's in the Mud, Otto Carius, one of the top Tiger commanders in the German Army, describes how he argued with a general about not taking a route before he could recon it resulting in one of his tanks being lost to a tank trap. Carius was later wounded while conducting a recon. Muller would have most likely conducted the route recon to get his tank out, not Hartman.
Out of all of the war stories for battlefield 5, the German has the most depth. From the get go the commander establishes the sense that even if you didn't do anything, you are still a part of it. Then it shifts to the commander telling his name, rank and unit. I think this transition helps greatly to underline how much invested the commander is in this war. He is not just some conscripted soldier, who was dragged into it. He is a commander. This is equally his war, as it is Germany's and he knows it, cause he was there. Really underlying the teaching of his father. Not going full analytical here, but compared to the rest of the other campaigns, I feel there is a lot more in depth to each character. - We have the soldier, who can barely cope with his PTSD and how it takes over and is the end of him. - The gunner, who bravely wants to defend his country from foreigners and who is the youth brainwashed into stupid bravery. He fights his ideal to maintain his humanity and it's clear he is losing. - The driver, a man who wants to fight on but has started to question their cause and purpose and only clings on because of hope but falls apart when that hope was taken from him by his own kin. - -- The commander, who knows how dire the situation is for his men and his country, but cannot be allowed to show these emotions or else it will affect the rest of the crew. He tries to control the radical views of the young gunner and is always saddened when he opens his mouth. He keeps it together for his men, so that he can make the best decisions to bring them home but eventually gives up after seeing his friend shot dead by the gunner. The driver lost all hope and the gunner lost his humanity, leading to the commander just giving up. He has had enough. I got genuinely sad to see this campaign, compared to the others.
@@brysonkuervers2570 it's truly fascinating how propagandised COD and the American war media has made you that you see this shallow doomsday take as fantastic by comparison. You are so used to lies and false heroism that the moment someone doesn't do that you are overwhlemed
One of the ways of demystifying the enemy in WW2 is to humanize them. Mortals that cheered, fought, and ultimately feared. Nothing more, nothing less. Kertz's death really hit hard.
The way he shouts "Kertz!" at the end sends shivers down my spine, completely sets the tone and emotion of the Nazi Tiger commander, losing faith in his country as he watches his friend die at the hand of their principles.
Well, what if i tell you that Smith is actually a german name and means Schmied ? Most of those names are actually professions, Schmied of course the Blacksmith, Mueller is actually Müller and is at the same time a profession, Dudes who worked in mills are called müller or müllner. I could give you even more examples. Most Names, like Mueller, Schwartz, Smith and so on, ar names from german migrants, those names were changed over the year to make them easier to pronounce. And, like 46% of all americans stated that they have german ancestors in some way or another.
Interesting detail, in Afrika the tanks barrel stripes number 15, showing that this was most likely the early stages of their service. By the time we see them in the present, their barrel stripes number 53, showing just how far they’ve come during service
At the beginning let me explain you, every tank commander was heavily trained, and one of the most basic rules when they spot a tank column is first destroy the one in the front which most of the time (with the sharman tanks) haves a heavier cannon, then get the one in the back and if there is another one with a heavy cannon destroy it before the ones that are left, this way the tanks can’t go forward or backwards, so they will probably take a left backwards turn facing the tiger, either they leave or fight they would most likely be destroyed, this mistake is also in the movie “Fury” and it lead to the tiger getting destroyed because of the negligence of the commander, sorry for boring you but i hope you find this interesting
@the noah lucario I think the anti magnet paste was called "Zimerit" in the late stages of the war they stopped using it for fears that it could catch fire when shot by HE
the noah lucario yeah and that paste is the reason that the tanks had a “bumpy” surface and also is the reason why the allied (mostly the americans) used “home made” sticky bombs
Im not saying your wrong or anything but if they turned there turret ring and a little bit the whole thing its self it could cause ricochets so it would pen the shermans armor???
I mean in the case of the opening cinematic, it's understandable that the Tiger wouldn't target the tank at the front, given that it was a Valentine that posed zero threat to the Tiger regardless, wheras the tank at the rear that was targeted was a Churchill, that *did* pose a threat.
The moment you think of your enemy as a fellow human being is the moment you are no longer a good soldier. I didn't say good person. But good soldier..
The things we believed, Peter. God help us. That hit me. When the German soldier realized that it was a lost fight. A fight that would see their homeland destroyed.
The opening scene is so horrific yet so well done, you see the projectile go through the turret and out the other side, and then the crewman on fire climbing out of the hatch!
@15th Shoah Jäger lol ikr they already convinced the entire damn country to mutilate their newborn males at birth they sure aint gonna let a german ww2 movie like this pass
I thought this was a very interesting take. For far too long, campaigns have been filled with us playing as the winning side in war games that we never considered what it was like on the other side. The Last Tiger certainly does put it into perspective on what a losing side goes through as politics and ideals are pushed aside for survival of the day. This would have been more meaningful if we had gotten a full campaign that spanned from the early victories of the German army to its demise.
jeff bezos brain it would be such emotional to play the german side. a country which was blamed by contract of versaille, saw in hitler a symbol to rise up again as one of the greatest and proudest countries and getting back lost territory and changing from one of best armys in history to a shadow of past glory days usted for evil plans too
We could, but it wouldn't be in a tiger. They were only produced late in the war and in small quantities. The battle of Kursk would have been EPIC to play as the Russians or Germans.
@@tannhasuervonhohenstein3728 german tactics at the end of the first world war and the beginning of the second were amazing, they were just overwhelmed on all sides and fought a war they couldnt win
Yeah. They could have done it like BF1 and have multiple characters and show them winning in the beginning and then after that hae them losing and end up dead, they could have shown what they war made them think, what a squadron thought about the war, what infantry thought about it and a tank crew but this was still very nice.

@@Unknown-sz9dr man i know about the war crimes that the germans did and that the wehrmacht and the SS were no different when it came to it.....with Generaloberst Von Kietel from the German army command signing and drafting an order on december 13 1941 saying that the Russian population shouldn't be helped in any way an that soviet officials such as komissars were bound to be shot. But this comment was just a joke from my side and moreover i didn't really concern myself with any war crimes whatsoever...... I don't usually reply to reply threads but i don't want to get earmarked as a nazi or a wehraboo...and yeah u can keep that dumb teen tag for yourself...
Can we take a moment to thank Urs Remond(As Captain Peter Muller), Simon Werner(As Kertz), Andreas Warmbrunn(As Scrhoder) and the voice actor of Hartmann for their fantastic voice acting and also acting.
Pros of this war story: almost everything. You finally play from the Axis point of view, we finally see the American faction and we finally feel like we are in WW2. The only downside is the elimination of the swastika in the war story. I mean c'mon, even fucking CoD WW2 had the balls to put the swastika in it's singleplayer campaign. And I hate that game.
Removing Swastika is just for Political reasons. I mean come on it's not like the Japanese were any good than the Germans during WW2, atleast the Germans treated the western allied POW's far better than Japanese did. And the whole holocaust thing, everyone committed war crimes to a degree, I mean does anyone not remember what happened in Nanking?
The Last Tiger is the only thing that makes me want to get battlefield 5, a WW2 game with story on the side of the Nazis and what the German people suffered
Oh my god. I played the war story as soon as it came out and have watched the ending quite a few times. I NEVER realized that's why he put down his iron cross. That makes this so much more sad.
@@zeezam6821 Eh, not really. There are wars already. But it just depends where you are. Africa, Middle East, Ukraine, currently hotspots. South America too.
I feel so bad for kertz because he had a wife and he tried to protect her by fighting for his country. U can see the image of her at 3:57 Respect for Kertz
Schroder feels more like a confused youth in the chaos of the war than a cold hearted killer. Its easy to see his views are twisted, as the way he executes Kertz as he saw it as desertion, but then immediately turns to Peter reaffirming the latter's words. Whenever Schroder asks Peter in such a fashion, you can see he is distraught, as the propaganda is clearly false, yet he appears to be scared to have his worst fears realised. He may be the true antagonist in this campaign, but I dont think he is a true killer
Ethan Pang you right. Looks like he must’ve been in the Hitler youth or something and is just extremely brainwashed. He sounded unsure of himself as he told peter what he did.
A kid is easier to influence like everyone else typed. I could also imagine the pressure to sign up to the war back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for people to take their own lives if they weren't allowed to enlist so the patriotism was strong back then, willing to serve your country.
@@atticusramsey250 My grandfather was in the Hitler youth, even at a very high rank... and still he couldn't kill an american soldier in a firefight when he had the chance to do it. In this very moment he just saw another human being and not an instrument of a hostile nation. Being a member of the hitler youth didn't mean you hadn't your own opinions and feelings. Btw. my grandfather is still alive and 91 years old now. It's really interesting to hear about the war and the time as a prisoner of war.
That's what happenes to someone with unyielding patriotism. It can lead to collectively heroic feats such as Rome's comeback after cannae, or willing destruction. It also didn't help that you'd honestly be better off dying on your feet in the eastern front. If you want a movie that shares insight in that kid's plight, there's The Bridge (1959), which is apparently based on a real event in WW2.
@@dohnjoe4100 I don't think it's directly patriotism but the social pressure that comes with a patriotic collective that demands your full sacrifice for the nation. So it's more a social problem than the simple love for your nation. Same can be applied for religion btw. Or for fans of whatever sport.
One of the major highlights of BFV. It is hard to believe that a story from the German military perspective would be made in this day and age. The great writing makes you feel for the characters. Great art transcends national and political lines.
Imagine being a German soldier in the final days of the war. 4 years prior the Germans seemed unstoppable. Nazi Germany was all some of the younger soldiers knew. For them, the German nation was destined for greatness and the thought that they would lose the war must have seemed impossible. Some of them clung onto hope until the very last moment whilst they fought until the end. I often wonder what sort of emotions must have been present at the end of the war and what sort of adjustments these soldiers would have to make. Nazi propaganda really had them believing that they were invincible. To see it all come crumbling down must have been utterly devastating.
Fun fact. In some jobs, Allied occupation forces usually recruited old Germans because they are not as indoctrinated as the young. Meanwhile in Japan, the US recruited young people because they are not as indoctrinated as the older people.
Most actual soldiers, not SS, didn't give a shit about the Nazi's; in fact many old German ship commanders flew the old Imperial German Navy flag, not the Nazi flag. Most just fought as it was their duty to their nation, and near the end when the SS was wiping out whole German towns for "disloyalty" the German soldiers turned on them. There is even a story where German troops helped the Americans defend civilians from the SS.
Schroeder's story is a tragic one. He sounds like some 16 year old drafted in the last days of the war, being indoctrinated from a young age by the Nazis, probably growing up to not only believe fanatically in that the "Führer" was always right but also to always follow the authorities, so their commanders in the field. He fought for something that was falling apart and felt betrayed by everyone who didn't share this and you can really see, how he too broke, when he screamed at the end, when he saw that his commander capitulated. Then he totally cracked and lashed out, turning his gun around to shoot his commander, feeling forsaken by everyone around him and maybe even having lost all hope. There was no way out for that poor young kid, a generation of young people, on both sides of the frontlines, having their lives destroyed by a maniac at the head of Germany who started a senseless war.
Theory: Peter isn’t dead, he’s narrating the story. The Americans most likely shot Schroder before he could shoot Peter. Edit: my friend, who knows a lot about guns, actually said that the gunshot sounds like an MP40, so Schroeder probably shot Peter :(
Most likely, since it begins saying "I was there. My name is Peter Muller" you are correct, and in fact, I would argue you are not theorising but noted a fact.
True to that. It wasn’t until I saw one of Flakfire’s four videos that described his belief that Peter survived and I started to think that he did, otherwise he wouldn’t be speaking about the past in a present setting if he didn’t.
I personally think that he did get shot by Schröder, but didn't die directly. The americans got Schröder and saw Peter survive, taking him as a POW. I don't know how realistic this scenario is but it's the only way I could imagine both the mp40 sounds and Peter surviving to tell the story
Schroder holds off a large American squadron by standing out of the Tank hatch with an MP40 with I'd say about 29 rounds within the magazine for a whole ass minute until Müller surrenders.
15:06 Kertz is actually saying in german: "Everything we believed in" not "Look around you." Then he says in german: "Everything we've done for it" not just "Everything we've done" I wonder why they faked the subtitle for these certain sentences, but I think y'all can guess what he's refferring to.
I know right? Now I'm no German expert but I can tell whenever there's a fake subtitle of the F word, when I'm pretty sure I heard 'Sheise' (sorry if I misspelled it, German word for s*)
@@batozorange I have absolutely no idea on how the other languages work but, in battlefield 1 some people complained about the russian subtitles/voicelines being wrong but it was because they used old unused (unused today, not back then) words to fit the timeframe of ww1. Pretty sure they did it with the ottomans as well, but i could be wrong.
@@pigmuffin3581 The Red Army subtitles were wrong in BF1 because Dice reused the Russian Army voice lines for them. Also, the reason why I know that some of the Ottoman subtitles are wrong is because I had a Turkish speaker translate them for me.

The subtext of the opening lines is amazing. "My name is Peter Muller, and I was there." This is a battle-hardened valorous soldier of the Wehrmacht confiding in us that he considers himself a child, still making the same mistakes that his father tried to warn him of. He exhibits shame and dignity at the same time in his admission. These two feelings stay with us through the entire mission.
He shouldn't feel shame, he did his duty for his country.
@@pladapus8968 If that is what you think then you have missed every bit of characterization, conflict, and consciousness that the writers put into this part of the campaign.
@@kunaiguywot Why should a soldier feel shame for doing his duty?
Peter Muller was a fictional tank commander, tasked with eliminating forces that were attempting to destroy the very country he resided in with his family.
And yet you say he should feel shame for defending his nation and doing his part to protect the ones he loved from the enemy.
Just because your German doesn't mean your evil. And my grandfather can attest to that.
@@pladapus8968 hoooooh boy this wasn't my plan for today... Here we go i guess.
I never said he should be ashamed. I never said he was real. I never said he was evil. I never said Germans are evil. I never said that home and family should not be protected. I said:
He. FEELS. Ashamed.
Is he ashamed of his actions? No. He is ashamed of his inaction.
When he was a child his father reprimanded him for being there and doing nothing. His self-shaming admission "And I was there" connects his childhood story to the time the game is set in. He witnessed his countrymen slip deeper and deeper into the atrocities of the Nazi regime and did nothing to stop them. He spends the campaign being faced again and again with the fact that his leaders were wrong in method and in doctrine until finally he can no longer defend his inaction against them. He resists admitting it; fighting for victory, fighting for the crewmates, fighting for Germany, fighting for honor. One by one his philosophical defenses collapse and he is left fighting for an indefensible nation and an indefensible belief.
His actions were never the problem. He saw the problems in his countrymen but chose to do nothing about them and that is his shame that he is expressing
Is his shame justified? Doesn't matter. This is a story, not a therapy session.
Also I don't care about your grandpa. Why should I? That's a rhetorical question. Drop that point if you have any sense.

I have heard, though never confirmed, that some late war tanks used diesel engines, not because they were safer, there was just no gas to put in them.
It's also a pretty common myth that the Sherman was a death trap. 0.6 crew losses per knocked out tank. It was one of, if not the easiest tank to escape from in an emergency.
from a realistic point of view?.. because after round 1,2 maybe 3 your position is compromised and, especially in urban fighting, make a tank a sitting duck for infantry. Especially a lone tank

On the one hand we know, e.g. from letters written by German Citizens to the Chancellory in Berlin, that they knew, that trains with screaming people in them drove at night through their villages. The citizens in these latters weren't marred by the fact, that there were screaming people herded like cattle in these trains but that they were disturbing the night's quietness and their sleep, so they asked for the trains to be sent through at different times.
So they atleast knew that there were "Undesirables" in these trains transported to Who knows where.
Also, especially on the eastern front, the SS behind the frontline commanded logistical and manpower aid from Wehrmacht Units, who then participated in SS actions to deport and kill people they considered "Undesirable" and all of this, even the organized killing in concentration camps, happened on such a scale that one can rightfully question the tale that many Germans told immediately after the war that allegedly they were clueless.
If you ask me, a modern day German, I can't imagine that no information about what happened made their way back to Germany proper. True, letters could be censored, but eventually soldiers got back on leave, R&R or anything, telling of what they saw.
The ones, who were too old to be indoctrinated by the party, maybe some of them did indeed feel guilt and were too ashamed to tell of such events or even taking part in them, having become a murderer.
Others, who were indoctrinated by the Nazi party, which spouted for years that the Jewish people, in their sick view, should be eradicated, probably even boasted with such deeds and then it was up to the populace to believe it or not.
I think the German populace knew enough to count 2 and 2 together and that they knew, that Jews were not "just" deported and kept alive in some secluded place.
Heck, I think the very most Germans today can feel with Kertz in that story, he was a man broken by a war that became senseless, he just wanted it to end, to get home to wife and family. I think historical consensus is that at the very latest Nazi Germany has crossed a point of being unable to win the war at latest in early 1943, with loosing several hundred thousand men at Stalingrad.
I'd argue they lost it even earlier with attacking the Soviet Union in 1941 in the first place.
Up until then it was a somewhat localized matter, with France beaten and the Germans pounding Britain from the air, maybe just long enough that they'd sign an armistice at some point and Germany could reshape Western and Central Europe to their liking.
Damn, we can be happy that the Nazis made the dumb mistakes they did.
Schröder is a scary kid, so heavily indoctrinated that his path was destined to end in death (much like the Nazis wanted it, emulating Vikings falling in battle in their crazed mind) and taking down everyone around him with him, utterly incalculable.
The commander would've needed to shoot Schroeder to dispose of him and then capitulate with Kertz to the Allies, but that wouldn't have brought the message across.
@@MagiconIceit isn't unclear lmao, my great grandfather was german, and he spoke about how public everything was, everyone saw films at the cinema showing how the Jews were being treated so "wonderfully" in the new camps, they saw the SS and Gestapo raids and street clearings, there was no way you didn't know what was happening. "Oh honey, every shop in the city owned by a jew is suddenly shut down and the owners have gone missing, must be another day"
This is why we needed a German campaign for so long. It simply tells a story that no ailed faction could. Watching as the country you vowed to protect fall apart around you, having to order men to preform actions that would inevitably lead to their death, watching your city burn as you desperately hope that maybe you can still win this like every other story in this series. And in the end their is no triumphant cheer their is no victory... only defeat... and in the end it was all for nothing.... THAT IS THE STORY WORTH TELLING...

You can see one of the soldiers holding the MP40 having camo on his Wolf trench coat. Normally this is associated with SS.
yeah that shit made no sense
Peter Müller be like: *Jeder hat mich belogen sogar die SS!*
The fact that people really hate schoder means this chapter have good character development.
Not really, he was a really one-dimensional character and he never changed from start to end. His purpose was to act as a folly for Peter and Kurtzs' dissillusionment of Germany's war as ideological indoctrination at its worst.
If he finally opened his eyes at the end and put down his gun, thatll be character development.
@@noodleduck8286 I think it goes a bit deeper than that. Schröder sounds very convinced of their victory in the beginning while towards the end, his voice becomes more and more desperate. He's practically begging Müller to assure him everything would end well and starts to lose it when he sees him surrender because deep down he knows they're defeated. His eyes are open but he desperately tries to pretend.
@@noodleduck8286 One dimensional German soldiers like this did exist, they were indoctrinated and radicalized by the lies of National Socialism and Hitler, believing in the face of sheer hopelessness there was a way out where they could regain momentum. Hitler himself, up until only the very last day or so of his life, carried these same delusions.
Schroder makes sense, love him or hate him. Guys like him existed all the way up until the end of the war and even after. You can also tell he's struggling, particularly after he shoots Kertz and is practically begging Muller to reassure him and his actions, which is also a very realistic / human depiction.
BFV's war stories were pretty shit, The Last Tiger to an extent included, but I can't take fault with how Schroder was presented.. of all that's wrong with this story, he's not one of the major parts of it.
@@noodleduck8286 He was a kid who was indoctrinated by the propaganda
@@actionms8566 When he says "We're Stronger together... Right? Those were your words! Say it! It was like that!" he is on the brink of tears doing exactly what you said, desperate for Müller's approval and reassurance.
Having a perspective of the losing side hits completely different. It's truly a feeling that lasts. I felt the same feeling after watching the movie "Stalingrad". It truly shows the horror both side of the soldiers had to face during WW2.
Letters from Iwo Jima
Stalingrad (1993), Das Boot, and Generation War are the definitive German stories about the war.
That's the tragic thing about war: At the end of the day, everyone involved is human, no matter how monstrous they may seem
Honestly hear me out, make a game showing Germany through the war. Start to finish. Please and thank you.
That would include at least one child-adult execution done by the Wehrmacht. Obviously the SS couldn't be everywhere.
Anything for it though, German storylines have a lot of potential given the amount of ups and downs, so it can't be catered for younger teens and below.
You can watch "Generation war", a mini-series (three 1h30 episodes) that depicts 5 german friends from their "enlistment" (a singer, a jewish, 2 brothers in the Wehrmacht and a nurse) to the end of the Reich. But they fight against USSR, not americans
Lunar Games I watched that already. Great mini series! I enjoy seeing what the axis endured. Hoping that it would be finished by Christmas. But they end up getting pushed all the way back to their own country. It’s amazing. Hearing stories of WWII veterans on both sides. We’re losing them now and they have remarkable stories.
the german campaigns of company of heroes 1 are pretty decent.
not the usual "everyone is an evil nazi just looking for the next jew to gas" kind of thing but german soldiers drafted into war, trying to defend what's left of their country and trying to make sense of the mess.
Too soon. Maybe in 100 years time when nobody calls each other nazi just for disagreeing with them.

This was the type of war story I was hoping DICE would go for. They should have just made a full campaign out of this instead and then added more chapters bit by bit. They had characters that would have been relatable and had conflicts of interest. You have the fanatic who acts irrationally, the tired veteran who has given up, the new recruit who didn't know what to do, and then the level headed commander who has to make all the decisions. They could have had parts where you decide who leaves to scout the tank and whether to shoot any deserters. The choices made would have consequences in the end so that you could end up with either everyone else dead or everyone lives or somewhere in the middle. We would see the crew full of fighting spirit and energy as they're first deployed in battle and then slowly start to see all the cracks in the Reich as it's driven back. In this case, the commander surrendering to the Allies actually makes sense because this is towards the end of the war (Looking at you Battlefront II)
Yeah tell me about it, watching this makes my heart ache because it reminds me of what bfv could have been, this story is just brilliant, honestly it felt like a movie.
If EA had you working on BFV, you'd singlehandedly save the franchise
That is exactly what I was thinking of ,playing this story . I was emotionally kinda touched by this story but I think If they would have made an entire campaign out of this , I would cry at the end . It would be a great story and I think the best story of any war related fps game
I am glad that this didnt turn out like star wars battlefront 2, where they would turn to the american side in an instent
No I think they should have kept it how it already is. I like it better as a short contained war story.

I am German, 62 years old, and my father was in World War II in the 3rd Panzer Division from 1941 first a Panzer IV driver, then a Panzer V (called Panther) and this until the end of the war on May 8th, 1945. He raised my siblings and I to be supporters of democracy.
At the same time, however, he belonged (like my father-in-law) to the generation of former front-line soldiers who broke off conversations about their own experiences and findings after a very short time. This made it possible for people to seize the power of interpretation who were anything but role models or even "heroes". As for the oath, I'm sure you know
that the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were also sworn directly to Adolf Hitler. That's a thought that still makes me shudder to this day. As soon as crimes are committed in the name of an oath, the obligation to take an oath ceases in my view.
My favorite charactor in this is Kertz. He represents the humanity in an otherwise SH*T situation. Even the name Kertz means "Candle" or "Candle Maker". He provides the light and at the end tells Muller the truth about war. Its great animation and great voice acting. At 15:28 the look on Muller face says it all about how Kertz was right.

If you take a close look at the american soldiers near the end you can see automatic fire from the American side and them also approaching closer to the tank making it available to kill schroder more easily. When schroder ran out of ammo from firing at the approaching american forces he turned to peter to see him surrendering and thus tried to shoot him but keep in mind we never see schroder reload so he probably shot but the mag was empty, that is also another reason that adds up to peter surviving

@@VergilDarkslayer they did a lot
I can imagine the final scene has some shred of reality. I bet there were a few veterans towards the end of the war who had just had enough. They had fought for their country, but not what their country believed in and just wanted to go home.
Yeah people like Rommel who weren’t Nazis, but still fought for Germany and it’s people. A sizable portion of the soldiers fought for the Vaterland and not for the Führer.
Highly possible since most German casualties came at the end of the war.
I think a lot of people were fed up with the fighting. And they knew they couldnt win. But many soldiers towards the end were boys like Schröder here. The regime drafted many boys at the age of 16. All they ever knew was this Germany, they were brainwashed to believe all this stuff, and so they fought till death.
It's so scary to think that I (19 yo German) could have been one of them, fighting for a twisted lost cause...
@@kalleb1530 I can’t remember but I heard somewhere that if Germany had enforced conscription that they would have had at least 5,000,000 more people then the 40,000-80,000 volksturm they mustered, most would have been kids 14-16 and adults 65-80, but the already overly stretched out forces could never have enforced conscription all over Germany thankfully it honestly saved millions of lives from being put into the frontlines
Axis or not, a Standard soldier to an Officer to a General, all of them no longer wanted to fight and just wants to come home to they're Families.
Historically, the tank commander would do route recon. If you read Tiger's in the Mud, Otto Carius, one of the top Tiger commanders in the German Army, describes how he argued with a general about not taking a route before he could recon it resulting in one of his tanks being lost to a tank trap. Carius was later wounded while conducting a recon. Muller would have most likely conducted the route recon to get his tank out, not Hartman.
The funny thing is that the best war stories in both BFV and BF1 are focused on a tank crew.
Overall I think mud and blood was best but the best ending to a story has to be runner
Nope in bf1 the runner is the best
Nothing is written is the best one for me though. Idk, maybe I like the train campaign
Uh bf1 was a landship.
(lol)
I think runner and the plane one were better but that’s just me
Out of all of the war stories for battlefield 5, the German has the most depth. From the get go the commander establishes the sense that even if you didn't do anything, you are still a part of it. Then it shifts to the commander telling his name, rank and unit. I think this transition helps greatly to underline how much invested the commander is in this war. He is not just some conscripted soldier, who was dragged into it. He is a commander. This is equally his war, as it is Germany's and he knows it, cause he was there. Really underlying the teaching of his father.
Not going full analytical here, but compared to the rest of the other campaigns, I feel there is a lot more in depth to each character.
- We have the soldier, who can barely cope with his PTSD and how it takes over and is the end of him.
- The gunner, who bravely wants to defend his country from foreigners and who is the youth brainwashed into stupid bravery. He fights his ideal to maintain his humanity and it's clear he is losing.
- The driver, a man who wants to fight on but has started to question their cause and purpose and only clings on because of hope but falls apart when that hope was taken from him by his own kin. - -- The commander, who knows how dire the situation is for his men and his country, but cannot be allowed to show these emotions or else it will affect the rest of the crew. He tries to control the radical views of the young gunner and is always saddened when he opens his mouth. He keeps it together for his men, so that he can make the best decisions to bring them home but eventually gives up after seeing his friend shot dead by the gunner. The driver lost all hope and the gunner lost his humanity, leading to the commander just giving up. He has had enough.
I got genuinely sad to see this campaign, compared to the others.

Interesting detail, in Afrika the tanks barrel stripes number 15, showing that this was most likely the early stages of their service. By the time we see them in the present, their barrel stripes number 53, showing just how far they’ve come during service
Unfortunately no Tiger ever returned from Africa to Germany in the real world.
At the beginning let me explain you, every tank commander was heavily trained, and one of the most basic rules when they spot a tank column is first destroy the one in the front which most of the time (with the sharman tanks) haves a heavier cannon, then get the one in the back and if there is another one with a heavy cannon destroy it before the ones that are left, this way the tanks can’t go forward or backwards, so they will probably take a left backwards turn facing the tiger, either they leave or fight they would most likely be destroyed, this mistake is also in the movie “Fury” and it lead to the tiger getting destroyed because of the negligence of the commander, sorry for boring you but i hope you find this interesting
@the noah lucario I think the anti magnet paste was called "Zimerit" in the late stages of the war they stopped using it for fears that it could catch fire when shot by HE

Im not saying your wrong or anything but if they turned there turret ring and a little bit the whole thing its self it could cause ricochets so it would pen the shermans armor???
I mean in the case of the opening cinematic, it's understandable that the Tiger wouldn't target the tank at the front, given that it was a Valentine that posed zero threat to the Tiger regardless, wheras the tank at the rear that was targeted was a Churchill, that *did* pose a threat.

I thought this was a very interesting take. For far too long, campaigns have been filled with us playing as the winning side in war games that we never considered what it was like on the other side. The Last Tiger certainly does put it into perspective on what a losing side goes through as politics and ideals are pushed aside for survival of the day. This would have been more meaningful if we had gotten a full campaign that spanned from the early victories of the German army to its demise.
jeff bezos brain it would be such emotional to play the german side. a country which was blamed by contract of versaille, saw in hitler a symbol to rise up again as one of the greatest and proudest countries and getting back lost territory and changing from one of best armys in history to a shadow of past glory days usted for evil plans too

I mean c'mon, even fucking CoD WW2 had the balls to put the swastika in it's singleplayer campaign. And I hate that game.
I dont see a problem with the swastika. Yes its supposed to be historically accurate, but its a really bad symbol.
@@locke430 who cares im still wondering why if the swastica is that bad for political reasons weve become a soft nation
Removing Swastika is just for Political reasons. I mean come on it's not like the Japanese were any good than the Germans during WW2, atleast the Germans treated the western allied POW's far better than Japanese did. And the whole holocaust thing, everyone committed war crimes to a degree, I mean does anyone not remember what happened in Nanking?
Locke117 If you can't handle a Swastika don't study Ww2
Yeah and at least their speaking their native language and not just English no matter what country their from.
The Last Tiger is the only thing that makes me want to get battlefield 5, a WW2 game with story on the side of the Nazis and what the German people suffered
The older the war, the younger the soldiers.
@@dabbingsquidward5748 yes, old and battle-hardned.
The next war will mainly consist of middle-aged scientists and generals on computers.
@@theuberman7170 The next war will only last minutes
hell yeah lets conscript kids
I understand, the longer a war goes on the younger the men conscripted will be.
Muller left his iron cross to kertz.
1 like-1 pray for kertz
Oh my god. I played the war story as soon as it came out and have watched the ending quite a few times. I NEVER realized that's why he put down his iron cross. That makes this so much more sad.
go fuck yourself
Knights Cross, iron cross 1st class is on his breast pocket, and 2nd class you only wear the ribbon
It is a knight s cross of the iron cross. The highest military award of nazi germany

@@zeezam6821 bro there's already war in so many places.
we're just one of the lucky ones

It never fails to cause tears every time you watch it
@@zeezam6821 Eh, not really. There are wars already. But it just depends where you are. Africa, Middle East, Ukraine, currently hotspots. South America too.

I feel so bad for kertz because he had a wife and he tried to protect her by fighting for his country. U can see the image of her at 3:57
Respect for Kertz
He didn't just have a wife he was also a father.
saying this is sad is an understatement
That was the thing about ww2 not everyone was a nazi some had to figth some were good men with wife’s and kids
Vladimir Putin In conclusion, they are human beings no matter which side they’re on.
a shame she was probably raped by the entire russian army, such degenerates...
The fact that there was accurate German Uniforms from the start but refused to put them into multiplayer until the end of the games life makes me sad
It's possible that they didn't do it to avoid controversy because you know how people are
I can't imagine someone so easily offended that they would be horrified of Nazis in a WWII game.
Like, how pathetic is that?
@@RustyAnon Just how people are
@@RustyAnon I can understand Germany not wanting any Nazis in their game release
@@Slenderslayer351 thats dumb sorry its a historical game
Schroder feels more like a confused youth in the chaos of the war than a cold hearted killer. Its easy to see his views are twisted, as the way he executes Kertz as he saw it as desertion, but then immediately turns to Peter reaffirming the latter's words. Whenever Schroder asks Peter in such a fashion, you can see he is distraught, as the propaganda is clearly false, yet he appears to be scared to have his worst fears realised. He may be the true antagonist in this campaign, but I dont think he is a true killer
Ethan Pang you right. Looks like he must’ve been in the Hitler youth or something and is just extremely brainwashed. He sounded unsure of himself as he told peter what he did.
A kid is easier to influence like everyone else typed. I could also imagine the pressure to sign up to the war back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for people to take their own lives if they weren't allowed to enlist so the patriotism was strong back then, willing to serve your country.
@@atticusramsey250 My grandfather was in the Hitler youth, even at a very high rank... and still he couldn't kill an american soldier in a firefight when he had the chance to do it.
In this very moment he just saw another human being and not an instrument of a hostile nation.
Being a member of the hitler youth didn't mean you hadn't your own opinions and feelings.
Btw. my grandfather is still alive and 91 years old now.
It's really interesting to hear about the war and the time as a prisoner of war.
That's what happenes to someone with unyielding patriotism. It can lead to collectively heroic feats such as Rome's comeback after cannae, or willing destruction. It also didn't help that you'd honestly be better off dying on your feet in the eastern front. If you want a movie that shares insight in that kid's plight, there's The Bridge (1959), which is apparently based on a real event in WW2.
@@dohnjoe4100 I don't think it's directly patriotism but the social pressure that comes with a patriotic collective that demands your full sacrifice for the nation.
So it's more a social problem than the simple love for your nation.
Same can be applied for religion btw.
Or for fans of whatever sport.
One of the major highlights of BFV. It is hard to believe that a story from the German military perspective would be made in this day and age. The great writing makes you feel for the characters. Great art transcends national and political lines.
I'm going to say it the BF5 was bad compared to BF1. But Last Tiger my god made it worth it this war story was the best
Really true
James Preedy just as good as the Australian campaign in battlefield 1
I honestly wish they just did a full campaign instead of war stories :/
BF1 is a classic of a game, bfv is just a downgrade. Hope the next one can be very good.
Imagine being a German soldier in the final days of the war. 4 years prior the Germans seemed unstoppable. Nazi Germany was all some of the younger soldiers knew. For them, the German nation was destined for greatness and the thought that they would lose the war must have seemed impossible. Some of them clung onto hope until the very last moment whilst they fought until the end. I often wonder what sort of emotions must have been present at the end of the war and what sort of adjustments these soldiers would have to make. Nazi propaganda really had them believing that they were invincible. To see it all come crumbling down must have been utterly devastating.
Fun fact. In some jobs, Allied occupation forces usually recruited old Germans because they are not as indoctrinated as the young. Meanwhile in Japan, the US recruited young people because they are not as indoctrinated as the older people.
My grandpa was a German soldier, he disguised himself as a farmer when allies surrounded his town with a bunch of tanks
@@nationalsocialist5526 Dont make dumb comments.
Most actual soldiers, not SS, didn't give a shit about the Nazi's; in fact many old German ship commanders flew the old Imperial German Navy flag, not the Nazi flag. Most just fought as it was their duty to their nation, and near the end when the SS was wiping out whole German towns for "disloyalty" the German soldiers turned on them. There is even a story where German troops helped the Americans defend civilians from the SS.
@@ShionWinkler nice allied propaganda. Hitler and the SS cared about their people you are blind with irrational hate and stupidity.
"Schroder?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Are we the bad guys?"
that hits hard...
"Naaaaah we doin gut fam lol"
Adam Wesley Where does he say that?
That moment you realize you might be the villian...
Jedediah Galloway Where does he say that
Schroeder's story is a tragic one. He sounds like some 16 year old drafted in the last days of the war, being indoctrinated from a young age by the Nazis, probably growing up to not only believe fanatically in that the "Führer" was always right but also to always follow the authorities, so their commanders in the field.
He fought for something that was falling apart and felt betrayed by everyone who didn't share this and you can really see, how he too broke, when he screamed at the end, when he saw that his commander capitulated. Then he totally cracked and lashed out, turning his gun around to shoot his commander, feeling forsaken by everyone around him and maybe even having lost all hope.
There was no way out for that poor young kid, a generation of young people, on both sides of the frontlines, having their lives destroyed by a maniac at the head of Germany who started a senseless war.
Theory: Peter isn’t dead, he’s narrating the story. The Americans most likely shot Schroder before he could shoot Peter.
Edit: my friend, who knows a lot about guns, actually said that the gunshot sounds like an MP40, so Schroeder probably shot Peter :(
Most likely, since it begins saying "I was there. My name is Peter Muller" you are correct, and in fact, I would argue you are not theorising but noted a fact.
True to that. It wasn’t until I saw one of Flakfire’s four videos that described his belief that Peter survived and I started to think that he did, otherwise he wouldn’t be speaking about the past in a present setting if he didn’t.
Yeah since US soldiers are allowed to take prisoners, if they shoot a POW they'd probably get a life sentence in jail
Schroeder is in fact shot peter, the evidence is the sounds of mp40 being shot. but Peter did survived because he is telling his story.
I personally think that he did get shot by Schröder, but didn't die directly. The americans got Schröder and saw Peter survive, taking him as a POW. I don't know how realistic this scenario is but it's the only way I could imagine both the mp40 sounds and Peter surviving to tell the story
“Kertz! Kertz!”
I can’t stop crying
This hit me so hard in the feels
Yes, this really was some sad shit going down
I hated that guy from the very beggining
We're stronger together. Right?
Its like Stanislaus Katjinsky in all quiet on the Western Front!
The anger in the "nien!!"
I think they can make a moive “The Last Tiger”
its already made, its called Fury i think
narg alda no not that american bullshit
That is Fury but fury is about an American tank crew so they could make a German one.
吴Inoryruli honestly fury was pretty good, but the last tiger could be better
There is one.
The is literally the only game that depicts the German side of WW2.
We want more.
Schroder holds off a large American squadron by standing out of the Tank hatch with an MP40 with I'd say about 29 rounds within the magazine for a whole ass minute until Müller surrenders.
i don't know why but it sounds funnier when you wrote the scene out XD
It's surprising how bad the American's aim was, despite them wielding I'd assume mostly semi-autos.
Schroder is a complete dumb cunt.
Very few would accept a such guy as a brother in arms in his side on the battlefield to cover its six.
A bit over 30 rounds actually.
Yet, it's just German magic. Don't question any of it.
I like the American:
“Just give up, damn it!”
and then he dies
that fucking kid was insanely accurate haha
PD: Kuromorimine sucks,comment posted by the Bellwall gang
@@Fulcrox Bellwall sucks. This comment was made by BC Freedom Gang
I like the American:
"All German forces! The cathedral is surrounded! Lower your weapons! You cannot win this fight!"
And they actually won lol.
Mutang I think they lost
@@Fulcrox MP40 was a pretty damn stable weapon. It was from the hip, but it's not impossible at that range.
15:06 Kertz is actually saying in german: "Everything we believed in" not "Look around you."
Then he says in german: "Everything we've done for it" not just "Everything we've done"
I wonder why they faked the subtitle for these certain sentences, but I think y'all can guess what he's refferring to.
I know right? Now I'm no German expert but I can tell whenever there's a fake subtitle of the F word, when I'm pretty sure I heard 'Sheise' (sorry if I misspelled it, German word for s*)
Several of the subtitles were done wrong. I can think of the subtitles for the Ottomans during the Suez Canal operation in BF1 as an example.
@@batozorange I have absolutely no idea on how the other languages work but, in battlefield 1 some people complained about the russian subtitles/voicelines being wrong but it was because they used old unused (unused today, not back then) words to fit the timeframe of ww1. Pretty sure they did it with the ottomans as well, but i could be wrong.
@@pigmuffin3581 The Red Army subtitles were wrong in BF1 because Dice reused the Russian Army voice lines for them. Also, the reason why I know that some of the Ottoman subtitles are wrong is because I had a Turkish speaker translate them for me.
@@batozorange as i said: I have no idea. But the russian ones were correct i and another russian friend of mine listened to them
Most impressive, makes me very silent. The feeling of these men and the situation they're in jumps from the screen and catches you.
