Of course it calls itself “anti-war” but this is what the promo shots look like:
actors playing nazis
The trailer makes it look like a typical war movie. But the protagonists are German soldiers. I’m sure there will be a scene or two that show they’re meanies.
sigh
more nazi slop
I am gonna go read something good
reading Vinland Saga now
Looks like this movie is getting a theatrical run in Germany. I wonder what that means…
Let’s be real, if this movie was going to be true to life, the tank would break down a kilometre down the road from the depot. If it did, in fact, make it further than that, it would’ve been taken out the second it left the frontlines, because it’s a stupid thing to bring on a “secret mission”
Stalingrad is a German film and was completely unapologetic towards Germany during WWII. The Wehrmacht soldiers commit war crimes with no remorse. They claim they’re on a mission blessed by God. They pledge their loyalty to Hitler. They excitedly talk about killing all Russians to make way for German farmers. Then they all end up surrounded with no supplies or food, freezing to death as the Soviets hunt them down.
Hopefully this newer film will be like that and not the godawful shit that was Generation War.
Nazi tanks would impressively scale a hill while on camera and once filming was finished they’d reattach the donkeys to drag it to the battlefield just so it could get blown up by a T-34 before firing a single shot
I’m sure there will be a scene or two that show they’re meanies.
It sounds like the kind of movie where the smol bean Wehrmacht are shocked and dismayed at the evils of the SS because the Wehrmacht was just so dedicated to fighting a good clean war and honorably defending(?) their nation that they didn’t notice what else was happening until it was too late.
If this movie is about anything other than fragging and/or defecting, the creators are miserable fascists.

It coming be about them being demonically evil and suffering rightfully for their crimes at the hands of the USSR or even the Americans. But I’m not optimistic.
There’s a TON of Nazi shit on streaming media now
let me guess, it’ll be something like Das Boot (1981) about a Nazi submarine crew
Just a bunch of Germans doing their jobs /s
I looked it up and one of the writers (Colin Teevan) for this movie was the lead writer for das boot.
Edit: Looks like they made a tv series with multiple seasons out of das boot and the author did the writing for the tv series and not the movie.
what is Das Boot
I remember watching some movie that felt like it was made by wehraboos with the lead cast doing the we never asked for it and just want to defend our nation bit long ago. It had this exact look/filter
ugh it’s set in the eastern front, there’s going to a be a lot of slavic hordes BS
Ugh, and I usually like Eastern Front stuff. Though generally, the Soviet made or Russian made ones are the only decent Eastern Front stuff. The difference between a WWII movie and a Great Patriotic War movie, y’know? Like, I’m not generally a fan of war movies, but… my dad and I rarely get along on anything. One of the few things we can agree on is WWII movies. We both like dead Nazis, and he doesn’t really care who exactly is killing Nazis as long as there’s enough gore and explosions, and sometimes I just like seeing the Soviet Red Army as good guys in a binary good vs. evil storyline, and generally that’s really bloody hard to find in mainstream media (though I also don’t care a great deal who’s killing Nazis as long as there’s Nazis exploding). So one of the few things we’ll sit down and watch together, without arguing about the Cold War, is a WWII movie, or a Great Patriotic War movie.
So, yeah. Usually I like Eastern Front war movies, it means I get to see the Soviets portrayed positively. The idea of something that’s the exact opposite… just. So much “ugh” for me specifically, that goes beyond ideological “fuck Nazis” and into personal “this is ruining a thing I like and enjoy sharing with a person I otherwise struggle to maintain a positive relationship with”.
From new production I loved “Panfilov 28” bcs cinematography is fantastic (seems most copies are gone from internet found this: https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=638544410409320&vanity=tovarisch1945 ) and “White Tiger” is not bad ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soRIjIJAUfA )
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
First scene of pilot:
Oh ja, ve ah just de simpull varm boys. Ve heff nevar herd of ziz Nazi violence. Das is nine goot ja? Ve vill now spend ze rest of ze film doing Nazi apologia.
But the protagonists are German soldiers. I’m sure there will be a scene or two that show they’re meanies.
More likely, they’ll have a scene showing how our main characters disapprove of the overall goals of the nazis, but are just “good soldiers” “fighting for their country.”
Every single German has a made up narrative about how their SS Obergruppenführer grandpappy was a secret antifascist
If you think about it, they aren’t even trying to teach proactive pro-Nazism. Just convince people that going along with it doesn’t require you to be a Nazi, so they’ll go along as their society nazifies while they tuy-tut away, like the good guys in the Wehrmacht.
Yep. That was always the goal of the “clean Wermacht” myth. That as long as you disapprove of murdering innocent babies, you can murder all the innocent babies in the world, as long as you are just following orders.
i’ve seen the wave (in high school), thought it was allright altho i dont know if it holds up
