Well, without derailing the thread altogether the interesting thing is that it seems a lot of the command hierarchies were intentionally built that way. I think the best thing would be to cover how mundane all of those monumental events were, so as to give a more accurate view of the period and its people. The people doing the really bad things always seem to be someone else. I would say most people today would be as gullible as then to conform to those changes, one big difference being the mass media that cover everything and drag it into the open and maybe that most people have a more open base attitude to other people (aka the distinction between "us" and "others" is far less pronounced).Well, I suppose for purposes of viewrship, characters have to be somewhat likable, but then we don't really get an accurate picture. deportations were considered normal or desirable. Given that I knew the generation that witnessed/participated in this war the issue of the evil of Nazi Germany is not how extraordinary it was but how mundanely it happened that e.g. In a way I would also say that the "critical approach" might actually be the less accurate one. As a German one gets a bit of an overload of these and I like history. It's not like I don't watch enough ww2 documentaries et. I didn't watch it, my WW2 quota is a bit full. I doubt you could ever do that without rendering the story useless or the characters too unlikable.

It's not apologist, but it's definitely not as critical as it could have been.I doubt you could ever do that without rendering the story useless or the characters too unlikable.

I don't want to say much more since it's interesting to watch how things develop.looks like pro nazi propaganda and revisionist history to me I don't want to say much more since it's interesting to watch how things develop. Greta is Viktor's girlfriend and an aspiring music star, who isn't very interested in politics and tries to have a good time while also trying to look out for herself and her friends. Viktor is the son of a Jewish tailor who has still tried to remain loyal to Germany despite the growing state intolerance towards them, much to his son's chagrin, who can see what is really going on. She is romantically interested in Willhelm. He is more of an intellectual and is opposed to the war but was a disappointment to his father for not being as brave as his older brother.Ĭharlotte is an idealistic girl who wants to help out, so she signs up to be a frontline nurse. He is viewed as a hero by many.įriedhelm is his younger brother, going into the same company as his brother but as an enlisted man. Willhelm Winter is an officer who has already served in Poland and France, and is now taking his younger brother with him to fight on the Eastern Front. Has anybody here seen this miniseries? What did you think of it? A three-episode miniseries telling the story of five friends from Berlin who each take their own path during WWII and have to deal with much of the war.
