Must admit I teared up at the end. My uncle, British, was a POW during WW2. He became a slave labourer working on Germany`s railways. Somehow he and a German guard of the same age clique together and the guard helped my uncle through it, gave him food and medicine if needed. After the war they remained lifelong friends, my uncle was even made a godfather to one of the German`s children. My uncle died first during the 1980s and his German friend flew over to England to attend the funeral. This is why war is madness, we are all humans, share the same passions, the same hopes and can feel love as well as hate. We should emphasise what we have in common and what brings us together, not on our differences. WW1 and WW2, NEVER AGAIN.

He managed to escape during the transport to the POW camp and made it's way through the Belgian forests until he reached its village (about 3 days by foot). It was during the 1940-1945 German occupation that he met the German friend that I was talking about (he was probably stationed at his village). I don't know anything about him, except that I've seen a picture of my grandfather and him taken in the 50s.

Luckly but unfortunately for another young people who had to fought for their country because they had to and obey their commands. The majority of the Wehrmacht soldiers were just normal people, peasants, citizens. Some of them won't come back home to their families. My grandma who died at the age of 80 in 2018, had to flee from her hometown in Czechoslovakia because the russians came and said: you have 10 minutes to pack your stuff and leave your House!

They looked each other in the eyes, scared shitless and ran away. My grandpa was a lovely person, a gentleman in the truest, most literal sense. He could'nt read notes but loved playing blues harp. He was born in 1924 in the German Reich. Let us not allow the few rich monsters to ruin this beautiful thing called life. We're actually not that different. We all know what's right, deep in our hearts. We all want basically the same things: Food, fun, love and peace. Let's stop fighting each other and start fighting the real enemy.

The result was a handshake between the young commanding officers, a soccer game and a small christmas party with presents from one side to the other. The heartbreaking fact is, they all knew, tomorrow they would kill each other again, even so they had spend a lovely time together or even became friends in this short time.

Just a small note of historical inaccuracy: The Brits did indeed draft people in to the service when they instituted general conscription in 1916, as their need for manpower rose quickly because the war dragged on much longer than anticipated and the size of the BEF had to expand to be able to fight as France's ally efficiently. Otherwise a good short film

@@glymmkira1511 Actually, the movie stated that "Lucky Jim" has served in the Great War for over 4 years before this movie started, so it couldn't possibly have taken place in 1914, unless this is a timeline where the Great War began 4 years earlier. This movie definitely takes place in 1918, the last year of the Great War.

"Stale. Bloody. Mate." Sums up World War I easily. Britain, France, and Germany were stuck in stalemate, which the US came and tipped the scale. Nice of them to add that in the game of chess. In my opinion, William tipped his king because if it weren't for Carl (Karl, Idk) he wouldn't be alive. Historical-wise, Britain couldn't keep fighting. And someone in the comments said being close to the enemy is a traitorous act to the king. Who knows. Up to anyone to come up with their own definition.

Such as? The Leer-Enfield rifle remained in use throughout the war, as did the Webley revolver. The steel helmet is not early war at all, it came in in 1915. As for the uniform, bits of early war kit remained in use until the end, while the stocks lasted. The only problem I would see are the nicely polished leather boots used by the German; though even that would be possible if he'd inherited them from someone else, or managed to access leftover early war stocks.

@@Andreitolca1 Erm...perhaps I missed something, but the only German helmet I can see in the film is the one used by the machine-gunner, and that is a late-war German Stahlhelm, not an early war Pickelhaube. You can see the two protrusions for the attachment of extra armour plating, as well as the neck guard, both of which the Pickelhaube didn't have. Also, it's missing the Pickelhaube's spike. That said, the steel helmets were costly to make, as they used precious steel, and due to shortages some units in the German army appear to have used the Pickelhaube long after the steel helmet was officially introduced.

So much lost--all the pawns, the other lives, the massacres, yet through it all there are survivors and even special circumstances for friendships that last a lifetime even across enemy lines. If only there did not have to be any sacrifices at all, but it makes the small miracles even more wonderful.

I used to cook steak dinners for the vets usually under my dad...we worked well together in a kitchen. After qa few months some of the older club members (some with (ret) Admiral Stars) started telling me stories The stories I have heard from these gentleman when they ask to speak to me because their steak was done perfectly...from rare...to well done...I can cook a steak with my eyes/touch, the stories make you wonder if you are in the presence of a deity. Stories that these guy probably have never told before...I felt honored to just sit and listen to them. I still do today when I(rarely) go back to Jacksonville,FL. ( I am an honorary member of Post #7909) because of my extensive volunteering at that post.

Walter Kara and Henry Broadfaste are who the two main soldiers in the film are based on. The soldiers shared a trench quarter and actually made a conversation among each other. Walter was almost shot in the neck before a fellow British soldier finds the two talking, this soldier realized that Brody wasn't cuffed and he wasn't being shouted at, not only that the only weapon Walter was carrying was a Luger. But he wasn't holding it at the time. The time this conversation came was 1:00 A.M. in 1918, The Armistice.

In fact, the only intermediate caliber adopted by the military back then was the German's 7.92 Kurz.
