What a brilliant film. Puts the whole concept of war in it's stupid context, a country caught up in a war they don't want, that isn't theirs, and individuals forced into fighting on one side or the other, neither of whom they feel any allegiance to, indeed both of whom they hate for the way they have treated them in the past. Some very touching moments, and the bad guys are not all germans, this film shows how very complex an issue war really is. Best war movie to date
