WW2 Short Film - Despair

A trapped squad of German soldiers decides what their next moves might be during the final moments of the war.

[@someguyontheinternet7628]

I was an Army scout in the light infantry in an Intel battalion, operating always in a 4-6 man fire team. These guys need to spread out more and you run one at a time across roads or clearings, even at night

[@Sintonizarproductions]

I agree,gotta watch out on those linear danger areas.

[@pzkw6759]

I agree wholeheartedly about spreading out. But remember, this is a film, and they need to stay in camera view

Awesome ending! "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." Friedrich Nietzsche

[@honawikeepa5813]

My father was NZ 28th Maori Battalion, and saw service in North Africa and Italy. He told our family that the German soldier was a great soldier and he looked like it. I love watching German films where to good guy is not necessarily the good guy. I have studied German Philosophy, history and Theology. They are simply unparalleled in my view. God bless Germany.

[@bogeyman10us11]

Is this that famous English speaking squad from Munich? I have heard of them. And the snow looks very authentic.

This is a very well made film! Liked and subscribed. We like making ww2 short films too @wingspreadproductions

[@munderpool]

He should've thought to take the PPSh instead of his rifle. A 71-round magazine can cause lots of mayhem!

[@fredgodling5914]

Assuming the magazine still had 71 rounds and not 3.

[@robertstaats7839]

Also the drum mags for the ppsh-41 had a lot of issues, you had to scavenge dead guys for functioning mags and made sure they worked, hence why Russia decided to stop making them and also making new ppsh-41's to not take drum mags lol

[@sstritmatter2158]

1:22 one grenade would take out the whole squad. Soldiers wouldn't patrol this close together.

[@HeyCharliesBackup]

They need to be in the cameras view.

[@daveJDB]

Looking at the older ones you've really outdone yourself. There's some inadecuaccies but to be honest I enjoyed it regardless.

[@Sintonizarproductions]

Whens part two of the soldier taking revenge against the Russians. That would be cool.

The german with the k98 and whitish helmet kind of looks like the lieutenant from unknown soldier.

[@CloneTrooper-uz9bw]

Why are they speaking in perfect English? Great short film btw!

[@ZeHistorien]

I speak from experience; for a few upcoming film projects for my channel, I've tried having the crew speak English and in German. Learning German dialogue for a group of 3 or more actors is extremely hard, especially for foreigners, in our case, Americans. Speaking in English is easy, and I plan on doing what the guys in this video did (use casual, formal English with a few German terms). It's much easier and still keeps the film authentic.

[@bobstaurovsky3506]

Winter time fighting is brutal !!!

[@templefb1]

The European theater ended May,1945. The video time-frame states 'final moments of WW2.' Actually most likely in Jan-Feb,1945. The Eastern Front brutally (both sides) makes the likelihood of Germans surrendering highly unlikely. It wasn't until 1955 that the Soviets finally released their German POWs. The Soviets also keep Rudolph Hess in prison until he died. The Soviets made it clear the wanted revenge.

[@revmarcell6449]

Robert Morrison I do not blame them. The Germans caused untold sufferings for the Russians.

[@mariehuguen4332]

[@esauhidalgosolorzano9566]

[@vitalisjakubauskas9567]

Post war Lithuanians antisoviet guerillas used to never surrender against the Russians. This was simply meaningless. If they used to take some guy alive then they tortured in dispicable manner, make you to tell everything, then after a mockery used to kill him and send his relatives to the Gulag with tiny chances to get back ever after 10-20 years imorisonment. The common rule was the last bullit or grenade for yourself. After the Soviets had made their A bomb at 1949 , the guerillas lost any hopes to be freed by Americans and did not accepted new volunteers to be enlisted. The last squads fallen in battle at 1953. So the last German soldier had the sane brain - to surrender to Russians was simple meaningless.

[@melherd4672]

Too close together spread out!! a tactic worked out in the early stages of ww1, this squad is either very green and untrained or looking to be captured.
