German 'Band of Brothers/Pacific' series out now!
A couple of months ago, German television released a 3-part miniseries about the experiences of 5 young Germans (fictional, though based on facts) during WWII. It's called: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Vätter (Our Mothers, Our Fathers). I noticed that few people actually know about the series, but I reckon most people who hang around on this board might be interested. I'd highly recommend watching it if you don't mind reading subtitles, which shouldn't be an issue at all in my opinion.
It's kinda like the pacific, focusing only on a small group of friends (2 soldiers, 1 nurse, a jew and a civilian). Yes, there are combat scenes (the series focuses on the Ostfront), but that definitely shouldn't be your reason to watch the show. It's gritty, sad and gripping and it gives you that rare opportunity to see things from the German point of view. Hopefully this has convinced some of you to give it a try, because this series definitely deserves more attention!
