- The story of one man who is forced to re-evaluate his outlook on the concept of enemy, and of war itself.
A short film produced by Team Beard Films, an amateur outfit in the North East of England. This film was produced for less that £2000. Enjoy! - บันเทิง
I will never forget these brave men and women, on all sides of the conflict. What a tremendous loss of life.
This film is very underrated for what it it is, and its nice to see a film that has Germans shown as actual people for once.
Thanks for this! Much appreciated, and thanks for your comment!
Even between those with language barrier, the message was clear with "Ich bin unbewaffnet. Ich habe eine Frau. Und eine Tochter. Ich habe ein Bild... Sehen Sie. Sie ist sieben. Sie ist wunderschön. Bitte, schieß mich nicht." (8:26-9:10), which can be translated as "I am unarmed. I have a wife. And a daughter. I have a picture... Look. She is seven. She is very beautiful. Please do not shoot me." Then tears dropped lavishly quite out of my control. What would I have done if I'd been this Tommy Atkins?
I also wonder what the situation is like in Ukraine right now (Aug 2022). Unlike English and Deutsch, the Russian and Ukrainian languages are mutually intelligible.
My grandad lied about his age to join up as his parents wouldn't let him join. He was 15 through training and 16 when he attacked the beaches of Normandy. He survived everything the Germans threw at him. He was told to go into a church tower to see what he could see of a village in Germany and as he got to the top step he was hit in the leg by a German soldier. He fell down all the steps with all his kit hitting him on the way down. He was laid dazed for a minute or 2 before he sat up and as he did so he was sat looking at 3 German soldiers in a window opposite him. He knew he was a dead man whatever he did so he stuck 2 fingers up at them and told hem to fcuk off. They were laughing and waving at him like kids do in a play ground for a few minutes, and so easily could have shot him. This infuriated my grandad......but he laughed about it telling me this story as I was a child. He said he believed they were like him....tired of killing....tired of seeing their friends killed, as he was and spared him. I like to think this also. Plus his Sgt major ordered a bren gun to plaster the window they were in which they duly scarpered. My grandad said they could easily have been his friends from school with their same cheeky banter.
An amazing story and glad that our little film struck a chord with you. Really grateful for the comment! Thank you!
Did the navies get killed
Team Beard, this is literally my great-grandad's story. Your actor even looks exactly like him...in his case, it was shortly after the war had ended, and he and the other soldiers were under orders to shoot any German they saw, on sight. He went over to a bush to answer nature's call, and found himself confronted by a petrified German soldier - raised his rifle, told the man to get up, and very quietly motioned to him, 'scarper!'. The German scarpered. What happened to him later we will never know - he might have reunited with his family, or he might have been spotted and killed the same day, but thanks to one 23-year-old private, at least he had the chance. My great-grandad never spoke of the war for about 70 years, not even about what he did on D-Day, nothing. This story he only told us in the last few years of his life. He died on 6 June 2018 - D-Day.
What an amazing comment and story. Thank you loads for sharing!! Do you mind if I share this comment?
@@TeamBeardFilms Not at all, you go for it!
G. B. H. for his service
Heard my simular stories from WW2 vet I have know.
Really, Daniel Karmy? After the war was over, they were told to shoot any German on sight ? Can you substantiate that ? I don't doubt bad things were done by individuals, but a matter of policy ?
really thought provoking ...excellent work ,
Team Beard Films

WOW, that was actually pretty damm good, never seen you folks before, glad I found you, good work
Thanks Antonio - much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed.
Very good film. Should be screened on tv! 👍
Now there’s an idea………
As soon as he turned around and they locked eyes with each other they were allies in terms of recognising the other's humanity, and at that point the only enemy was war!
Well said!
this brought a tear to my eye. just two boys brought into a war. husbands, fathers, sons. how many wasted lives. may we remember our grandfathers with loving memories and may we never forget the horrors of war. lest we forget indeed
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
Fantastic work. War is such a terrible duty.

This was excellent!
Thanks Edward- appreciate the comment!
Well done! This should get far more views and accolades ~
Subbed
Thanks Leslie!
Brilliantly done by all involved. It managed to portray in less than 15 minutes what many epic films miss. The stupidity of war, where young men are sent to kill each other because their governments tell them to when in another time, in another place they may have become friends.
Very kind comment. Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
The last bit made me cry a tiny bit literly no movies make me cry
Even sad films with dogs in them? Get me every time...
Amazing work!
Thank you!
Really good movie, a few small uniform inaccuracies but I give it a 10/10. Would recommend to others. 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment. No claim to professional status; just wanted to make an entertaining film. Glad you enjoyed though!
@@TeamBeardFilms Yeah it’s actually decent. Thank you.
This got me very emotional. Such an excellent film this is, great work
Great to know! Thank you very much for the comment…
@@TeamBeardFilms No worries :). Just wondering, is there a way to listen to the Soundtrack of this film? Because this has an amazing SoundTrack and I would love to listen to it.

And here's another short WW2 film made by enthusiasts: th-cam.com/video/H5GRzsIp3lg/w-d-xo.html
Good job. U need a corporation with PLW Germany.
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it!
Do really two soldiers on a patrol make philosophical discussions?
It’s a war crime the first Sean
😢
Dome movie
All of this Disney “Kumbaya” humanity is what people who have never been to war wish war was like. But it’s not. We take the family photos and letters from enemy dead as souvenirs. And maybe their gold fillings too, and maybe while they’re still alive.
And a soldier would never drop his rifle in the dirt, and never put it down in a combat zone.
And the men deployed to fight weren't 'soldiers', so your point is moot. They were normal men given a helmet and a gun and told to fight.
Churchill claimed to be fighting for freedom and democracy but in reality he was defending globalism and the bank of England. If you doubt that then check out the Rudolph Hess flight to Scotland
It's true to an extent... and victors write history.. but anyway, for people like me it must of been hell... A German Mother, a Jewish father... I can only imagine when the nuremberg laws were passed how that must of been for people. the point is war is hell. Nothing should cause a war like this ever again.
@bruh bruhson Is that the best you can come up with? Did you make it thru the third grade?
110 MILLION TO BE MORE PRECISE, LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF FASCISM.
Bit more complicated then that , the UK was no better Churchill was a warmonger ,
Quien traduce esto?,😂vaya tomadura de pelo .
Erm.... I hate to be that guy but you lot are clueless about small unit maneuvers or military discipline. Is it a good film still? Dunno. I know aa much about filmmaking as you do about soldiering I suppose. Pro tip: you see a grenade land next to you, try to not step over the ruddy thing while you clear out. That's how lineages end. 😄
Yep. Utterly clueless, no doubt. Just trying to make an entertaining film. Shame it missed the mark for you but thanks for the comment.
@@TeamBeardFilms you want to make entertaining films, just talk to veterans. You got a lot of it right, just not realistic. Like that gash on your hero's cheek. A wound that big it's gonna be bloody. The entire right side of his face would swell up and he won't be able to use his eye... Things like that. Then, that German suddenly blows up... like, magic. Nobody threw a grenade on screen and a mortar , well, that'd end the story right there for both men probably.
Awesome Work!
