Ha i had an uncle who was in the Wehrmacht, he was in it right from the beginning, invasion of Poland, France, went all the way to the Isle of Jersey in the channel and then got sent to the eastern front where he got bagged in Rumania and was sent to load ships in Odessa and then to chop wood for a couple of years in Siberia.
We kept begging him to write some of this stuff down or at least tell it to us, but he kept insisting that history 'is written by the winners' and nobody cares about what he had to say.Yeah it's sad to see that generation go, but these movies are nothing but a twisted third-hand account of what supposedly happened, shaped to fit the political aims of the filmmaker/studio and packaged to appeal to a people that can't pay attention to anything for more than 2 hours.
