About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, emotional WWII story told from a German perspective, with personal drama alongside action; Not for you if you want strict historical accuracy or nonstop combat like Das Boot.

Pros: gripping, emotional war drama; strong performances; high production value | Cons: controversial historical portrayals; uneven depth; some find it boring
