Series: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter

"Our Mothers, Our Fathers". Basically Band Of Brothers, but with Germans. And extra grim, since it's primarily set on the Eastern Front.

June 1941. Five childhood friends gather in Berlin to hold a goodbye party for the three among them who are soon to head for Russia. Wilhelm Winter and his younger brother Friedhelm have been called to serve in the Wehrmacht, while Charlotte has volunteered as a nurse. Staying in Berlin are aspiring singer Greta and her Jewish lover Viktor Goldstein. The group wish each other well, and part ways in high spirits, hoping to be together again at Christmas.

Of course, it doesn't quite work out like that. And as the months and years drag by, and the fighting becomes ever more brutal, for these young people the war becomes a desperate struggle not only to survive, but to retain their humanity even while serving an inhumane regime.
