Excellent portrayal. I'm a 33 year Veteran of the American military, my Dad was in the Battle of the Bulge. Showing the human side of the German "soldaten" is a masterpiece touch. Most Veterans realize that soldiers of ANY Country fight first for their friends in Combat with them and secondly for their Country. We respect our enemy because they are doing the best job they can, just like us.
agreed! I,m also a Veteran , my grandfather served throughout the war, he always spoke of the German soldiers with respect. He was a Medic and actually treated some German wounded and he said they were the same as our troops, they had families and wanted to go home. its Politicians who start wars and the soldiers who fight them. A shame that with all the advancements of mankind that war is still an option.
Michael Wood May I ask how old your father was when he had you? Because it seems that you’re full of shit :)
If you’re 33, then you were born in 1986, battle of Bulge took place in 1944/45, your father had to be at least 18 to serve in the military, so that would mean that he’d would have to be born in at least 1926 or earlier. 86 - 26 = (at least) 60 years... wow, your father must have been really wild for his age.
EDIT: It seems that I can't read. Thank you all for pointing that out. I apologise to the original commentator for making reckless statements, my mistake.
Yeah, I wouldn't have liked shooting at the Jerries. Of course I would also of not liked the things they did. We called them "Jerries". They called us "Amis", God only knows what that means.
Jan Gelnar;
That is not what he said. Er war 33 Jahre in der Amerikanisch Bundeswehr! 🇺🇸
Michael Wood on
Excellent portrayal of war . The exhausting slog with heavy weapons and equipment , the fear and tension that any moment you may be fired upon was convincingly done . Plus no false heroics and an attention to detail . A fine short movie . Well done to all involved .
Films are supposed to make you feel something, and this did, wonderful job, please keep making great content

Greetings from Pennsylvania USA
I've just discovered from reading the comments I have previously watched this a whole year ago, well I've watched it again and I'm still really impressed and whilst I'm sure there wasn't a big budget it is so professionally filmed it looks like there was one. This is an excellent film.
Tohle je nádhera krásné natočené a zpracované. Super práce 🔥
Skvělá práce. Málokdy se povede těmto kratším, nízkorozpočtovým projektům trefit natáčení tak, aby fakt pořádně sněžilo a vydrželo to celý natáčení. Ale tady se to povedlo a výsledek, díky kombinaci prostředí a dobré filmařiny, stojí za to (zimní bitvy prostě mají atmosféricky něco nepopsatelně fascinujícího a málokdy jsou vidět, ať už ve filmu, v reenactmentu, nebo třeba na airsoftě).
Mockrát děkujeme. Podobné reakce nám vlévají sílu do žil v dalších projektech. Počasí nám skutečně vyšlo na jedničku, ale neslo to sebou i řadu komplikací. Vzhledem k tomu, že přes noc napadlo kolem jednoho metru sněhu a silně mrzlo, tak jak přesuny, tak spolehlivost techniky byla dost problematická. :)
Jurgen-👍👍👍-🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰 Slovakia.Super.
Kudos! I like your attention to detail like how the Germans would walk holding their weapon in the right hand. I also like how you captured that snowy and miserable winter of 1944. One of the coldest in recorded history.
Thanks a lot!
Smekám chlapi! Výborná práce a má to hlavu a patu! Prostě pecka.
Děkujeme!!
This short movie about WW 2 did an excellent job of projecting a real battle scene a lot of realism that pulled us right into the action.This included the death of young men that were part of a war that brought tears and sorrow to those at home when the news came of their death. We can only feel and understand what the men on both sides of the war suffered, one would have to have been their to really know.
I absolutely love your movies. Attention to detail is so important. Keep up the great work.
Jako moc dobrý, a taky dojemný. Takovej dobrej malej film jsem dlouho neviděl.
Excellent job, great atmospheric sequences and compassionate focus on the human factor in war.
Superbly presented piece, a story repeated thousands of times.
This war was the greatest tragedy for us all.
Beautiful short video! True masterpiece!
Bravi davvero!!!!

After watching this story I feel that we are definitely living in a very sad world. Wishing all of you the best - don't know what else to say - hopefully something better is on the horizon. Love to all! :"(
Как всегда отлично, парни снимайте больше фильмов ,пора подумать уже и насчёт полноценного фильма ,не надо останавливаться на короткометражных фильмах.
Thank a lot! We'll think about it :D

Согласен.
Хорошие короткие фильмы.
Смотрим!
never before i felt so close to the soldiers impressions.. really impressive! hollywood should learn a lesson from you guys.. you should realise a full movie project! ❤👏🙂 greetings from germany
Only those who never seen war glorify war.
What a shame and waste of human life, greetings from a war veteran in California.
Very well done. Very great cinematography. I loved the counterpoint between the solemn narrative and the violence.
Such an amazingly done film, greetings from Denmark!
Excellent- it drew me in and made me part of the German platoon. Clever using the letter as a voice over.
Výborná práce,to chce film...

The Heer was just like our GI's. They fought for the country and for each other. Politics made the war and the foot soldier took the land and finally PAX. This is an outstanding short film. It shows a piece of war that has not really been explored. Just like in the US and other countries, the mail brought either sorrow or happiness. I was part of the military for 34 years. Many times I had to go to a sailor's home and tell his survivors that he had died. It was not easy. The common person hates war, only the politicians love it.
Интеересный фильм! Спасибо за фильм.
Thank you :)
Very well made short movie, thank you!
Thank you!
Amazing !! Greetings from Italy (Rome)
Thanks a lot!!
Unless you've actually done something like it yourself, you don't realize just how physically and mentally exhausting just moving through the snow like that is. Everyone thinks of the fighting but most of an infantryman's job is just crossing the terrain. I really like that they showed a lot of that in this film.
Very good! Sehr gut!!!

Great film ... Makes me cry😢
Great video. It showed the difficulties of warfare and in the end, there are no victors, just victims.
Thanks for this excellent production. Very humane & historical.

Well done. The small unit tactics and letter home made it all seem real.

So tragic. These are great movies showing what the Germans went through. My heart goes out to them
Bien filmado ! Excelente fotografia ! Senti el frio gelido de Belgica !
Greetings from 🇮🇳INDIA
A couple of years ago, I got lost winter hiking in the area around Manderfeld, Losheimer Graben (border with Germany, the Our valley), and it was very scary as with the snow, every corner you turn looks like where you just came from and I kept thinking, just across that hill, and I'll be back on track...which I wasn't and this lasted for another 3 hours and it was getting dark. Now add enemy toops trying to kill you on top of that...nightmare. The dark forests there still have an eerie vibe to them. Especially in winter.
Klasse gemacht...Respekt 👌🏻
powerful film making,,great job!
Great short film. One request, can we get an uplifting ending to one of these? Some of these German soldiers survived the war and lived long happy lives. Maybe one with and old veteran recalling his experience. Just a thought.
Bravo! Well done! Incredible!
Velmi dobry kratky film
Der Film ist ja toll, im Winterzeit aufgenommen, wie in wahrheit der Situation, die Umgebung, die deutsche und die Alliierte Uniformen , alles perfekt. Und die artillerie lauten in der Ferne ist super.
Vielen Dank!
Das noch immer szpandeir auch, immer nocht under krauss, vielen dank !!!!!!
Very poignant, and a realistic portrayal. The sound of the MG-42 is frightening, just as it was described. I think of this film as made in the spirit of "All Quiet on the Western Front." The connection of the Sudentenland through to the violence in the Ardennes is well thought out.
This is an excellent piece of work written with great sensitivity and creativity, ok, there may be bits the purists can't overlook but it has real atmosphere.
Hi Malcolm, Thanks a lot!!
Moc pěkné 😉👍🇨🇿
Děkujeme 🙂
Great cinematography !! ✊💪🇩🇪💥🔥
This is very good short war movie
Sehr gut geworden! Respekt!
Danke!!
It's painful to see those MG42's and K98's freezing and becoming useless
I agree.
I have the L ua-cam.com/video/STxHu2kM9Ic/v-deo.html
K98's were far more reliable according a Leningrad veteran. The MP 40's usually got the slide full with snow and he didn't say much about the MG34 with which they were equipped at the time.
F in chat
the american soldier wants to get one thing out of the wars he fights. souveniers, what else.
Congratulations on a job well done!
Thanks!
Very nice job!
Man, that SNOW... YOU da real MVP!!
Outstanding.
Great job portraying the slow, agony pace of war. It is not all action packed. War is usually slow, boring time with some short burst of violence and adrenaline.
My parents lived in Worms Germany.There was some major battels there with Pattons 3rd army. But you would know it today
Well done! Very realistic!
Really well filmed, showing how things actually we're, Greetings from Wales.
Schöner kleiner Film ! Gut gemacht ! Aber taktisch ist alles schief gelaufen !

This is excellent and real - uniforms, weapons, troop movements... 2:55 that's exactly how a unit would move through a linear danger area. - former artillery officer U.S. Army.

Took a while for action. Gut ! 👌
Thanks! 👍
A very very well executed short WW II Combat Story!! Details were impressive, however the lack of ‘white reversible camouflage smocks’ on the Waffen SS personnel is the only detail I would note as an exception.
nice! Greetings from Lithuania xd
Thanks!!

Great job!! Which camera and lenses did you use?
An American that appreciates the pain gone through by all enlisted armies
Well done. On a personal note, it's really nice to see one of these made with a native speaker instead of some American dork torturing the German language. A couple minor quibbles: a German soldier would not have been allowed to write about Wacht am Rhein prior to the attack. Also, if this was an SS unit, why were some wearing Wehrmacht uniforms? Finally, would it not have been very likely that SS troops engaged in Wacht am Rhein would have winter smocks on? But like I said, these are quibbles. Im Grossen und Ganzen sehr beeindrueckend!
Servus :) Thank you very much. To point one. That is the meaning of the text. The letter was never written. To point two. We have the uniforms according to the photos and they are only Waffen SS uniforms. In the Ardennes Winter SS camouflage did not receive. Thank you very much for your feedback (y) :)
