with this film is it must portray the German soldiers somehow as likable, regular Frantzes. Well, they may well have been but they perpetrated, on an almost unheard of scale, atrocities, destruction, and death. The viewer-with-a-pulse, of course, will be unable to forget that and is placed in the bizarre position of rooting against these "heroic" figures.
Naturally, for empathic reasons, the Germans have second-thoughts about the war, the film going so far as having them pal around with a young Russian boy and a Russian woman. When Russians summarily are executed, our "heroes" do it with.... distaste.
The direction certainly is not beyond the capability of an average television series' director.
I'd like to say the battle and engagement scenes were exciting but that would be a slap in the face to many war films of even average achievement.
Avoid.
