glad to see it is not just me that can't see the greatness.

I saw the war trilogy (A Generation,Kanal and Ashes and Diamonds)at a film society at least 30 years ago and have seen them since on tv.

This film,in my opinion is very much the least impressive of the 3 films.

I was surprised how little I liked this film.
Other people on here agree that it is not that great.

I was always keener on Kanal and Ashes and Diamonds but I remember liking this film the first time I saw it.
