1:50 very interessting fotage. You can see a romanian solider in the foreground (Notice helmet) and the others are germans (They wear Stahlhelmets which were also used by romanians often but the proof is: watch the k98 rifle one of them aims, romanians had their own rifles).

So you see german and romanian soliders in the same trench in combat, rare scene.

Everyone harps on about saving private ryan, but this film is way better!...personally, I don't care if it's about Germans, Brits, Russians, American's..it doesnt matter in the context of this film...it could be about any side...brilliant

I love movies retracting the "bad" guys, gives you a different perspective of things

"History is written by the victor"

@TheCaptainmoemoe the ss were magnificent but the winners make the history the blitz was peanuts to what we did to innocent german babies in dresden hamburg berlin etc also on d day churchill said take no prisoners for the first 48 hours that means kill them but its ok when we do it.

I can't help but notice that I've never, ever seen a movie told from the perspective of true, believing SS Nazi Soldiers. I really want to see this movie. I understand it's taboo...

And frankly, if the movie was done RIGHT, and TRUE to history, if not shown with discretion, many children might find heroes in the SS.

But I dont see this as a reason or excuse to lie about history.

@JSLegoMaster Excellent spot: in fact the soldier in the foreground is wearing a Romanian helmet and then there are two soldiers in German 'coal scuttle' helmets, one of whom throws the grenade, then there is another Romanian-helmeted soldier furthest away. As you say, amazing to see Germans and Romanians in the same trench... things must have been bad!

@TheStealthx808 the song is called : " Hänschen Klein" 

[DERKONIG12345]

Most exciting, hitting and beatiful intro I have ever seen.

@TheStealthx808 if I was feeling sarcastic I would say google it my friend, however after finding the complete film on here: Hänschen klein

@Niktin my grandpa was in a gulag and he wasnt russian. He was polish and the russians sent him there because he could shoot well and were scared he would lead a revolt. Then they let him out when they were losing the war. If my grandpa was there for that i cant imagine how many others there were. Stalin starved ukraine and killed millions teachers, doctors, etc even his best friends because he was paranoid. Stalin killed more than hitler. LOL communism every1s equal one man controls everything
