Konterr Brilliant and touching

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

neicho-79775 A great series to watch if you enjoyed Band of Brothers and other war films but are tired of seeing it from the allied perspective. Gritty and shocking - hits all the right feels for a war movie.

Jack Penman-Reid Watched this series on Netflix after watching a few clips of it on youtube and being impressed. This series is literally the only other thing I've seen apart from Downfall which successfully portrays the war from the German side. It does contain some great action but it's not overly heavy on it and the action is more there to further the narrative than for sheer entertainment value. Generation War does not shy away from the atrocities committed by the German army nor does it try to make it's characters seem exempt from the crimes committed by the Nazi's during the war. I found each of the 4 characters interesting and memorable with the exception of Greta. I really liked the way throughout the series it always shows how far they are from a destination. Starting 700 KM away from Moscow and ending up within just 50 KM of it. Then as Germany is losing the war you get to see how close the Red Army is to Berlin. I was happy with the ending and thought it was satisfying. The score is really well done and I'd definitely recommend giving the soundtrack a listen. Overall I thought Generation War was a refreshing new perspective on World War 2 as we get to see it from Germany's perspective and not just through the eyes of soldiers but of German nurses, Jews and other types and how the war effected them. Definitely give it a watch. Absolute fantastic.

williamgoodman-01223 A good series was sad for d day to be called the American landings. The British,Canadian's,free french and Polish seem to be forgotten..In no way was d day a mainly American affair..Ships landing craft and equipment was overwhelmingly British. Numbers involved was very equal and overall casualty's..Other then Eisenhower being overall in command, most commanders were British..So this thing of d day being a majority American affair is unbelievably misleading..If anything it was a mainly British affair with around 80% of vessels, equipment etc being from the UK.I feel with many documentaries, mini series and Hollywood movies always go down as Americans fighting the Nazis's and it seems to still be the case.Im sure ww2 was 1939/1945 not 1941/1945

skobru-7-335285 It is said that in wars, the Victors always write the histories. I grew-up on the American and English war films always showing the Germans as monsters. People without emotion other than hate (most of the time). So much of that history was written by THAT generation that lived through the war with all the attendant hate. As I became an adult I knew there was of course another side. It was impossible for all on the OTHER side to be monsters. So much simplification. War is full of good and bad on both sides. The victorious can hide their monsters and ignore them. Not all Germans were monsters. They were HUMAN. This wonderful mini-series shows that humanity. Some think that it shows the Germans as being so nice. IT DOES NOT. There is kindness hate love cruelty and compassion in this. There are haters of Jews and those that change their minds about Jews. There are ALL sides of the German of that time shown. The acting directing and writing are very good. It lacks the polish of a Hollywood big budget film but it tells a fine STORY. STORY is what this is all about. There is an even handedness about it all. I felt they tried to show all sides of what happened complete with the torture murder and rape of Jews to a few scenes of compassion for them. Not all are the same in Wars. Just as there were murderers and rapists in the ranks of the allied military. Just not done on such a horrific mass scale as the Germans did.
