Generation war mini series

Question

Thought i would alert my fellow cover posters about this interesting mini that has been hailed as the "German" Band of Brothers. It takes a german perspective on the war.

Take a look at the trailer. I must say it looks amazing. 3 episodes.
It already premiered in Europe. Will get a short independent cinema release in cinemas in USA and then DVD.
It will also air later this year at BBC 2.

Anyway there are already english subtitles and dvd's to be had online.

For history buffs this could be a must see. Especially because we rarely get the "other" perspective when it is about the second world war.

And something that you over in USA will be able to watch from January 15th in NY cinemas is German war mini series done in the vein of BAND OF BROTHERS. Titled GENERATION WARthe block- buster miniseries vividly depicts the lives of five young German friends forced to navigate the unconscionable moral compromises of life under Hitler. Level-headed, highly decorated officer Wilhelm (Volker Bruch) goes off to the eastern front with his sensitive younger brother Friedhelm (Tom Schilling). Deeply in love with Wilhelm is Charlotte (Miriam Stein), a young nurse who looks forward to serving in the Red Cross. Greta (Katherina Schüttler) is a talented singer who longs to become another Marlene Dietrich, while her Jewish boyfriend Viktor (Ludwig Trepte) fights for hislife while hiding among members of the Polish Resistance!

DID YOU KNOW?
The mini series was a huge success last spring in Germany and will be also aired on BBC 2 in UK later this year as the first foreign language series to be broadcast there in more than ten years.GENERATION WAR will be released in USA this month in limited cinemas before it hits DVD market. The series have caused controversy in some countries where some critics have suggested that the TV series is providing excuses justifying German populace participation in the war. Others believe that the series tried to show how Germans were lured into Hitler's war in what was Germany's darkest era!

Still too soon for German perspective for Hitler/WWII ,any attempt is questioned as excuse or diversion? My father was wounded at Normandy and he was one of the youngest in his Battalion and if he was still alive he would be 94 so there are few WWII vets in USA,but the European memory is generational.

I respectfully disagree. I think we need to see both sides. Sure the germans started the war, but there was also many normal wehrmacht soldiers that suffered.
