Not all of them survive, and those that do have changed so irrevocably by the war's end that they are a mere shadow of their former selves.
And Viktor, after being held in a concentration camp, escapes from a train en route to Auschwitz and ends up embroiled with Polish partisans.
Greta, wanting to save her boyfriend, Viktor, begins an affair with a Gestapo officer, one that will lead to her eventual destruction. Charly works at a field hospital and sees the war's gruesome toll on a daily basis. Wilhelm, a lieutenant, does his duty even when he doesn't want to, but the senselessness of leading his men to slaughter becomes too much for him. Friedhelm knows the futility of the war from the start and hangs on to his humanity until the war mercilessly grinds it out of him.

It just recently appeared on Netflix streaming, and I binge-watched all three episodes. I knew it had generated some controversy, but I also knew I had to judge for myself. When this German miniseries on World War II came out in Germany in 2013, I was quite anxious to watch it.
