Friedrich's mother, Liesbeth Erler (Nadja Uhl), wants to escape the bad times, go to America and take her family with her. Part 1, “The Morning After the War”, begins in the last days of World War II. At this point, Liesbeth visits Tannbach from America, enthusiastically praising New York, where everyone can say what he or she wants and it “doesn’t matter whether anyone is a Jew or a Catholic”. Untersturmführer Vöckler is a Schutzstaffel officer. I believe in everything we’ve built up here. Yes insurance helps, but there are so many out of pocket expenses that can be crippling at a time like this. Lothar is shot by East German border guards as he attempts to illegally cross the demarcation area to attend the baptism of Anna and Friedrich’s child, which Anna had requested be held at the village church in Tannbach’s western half. Four years later, in 1952 and during the Cold War, the East German Stalinists build a fence running across the whole of Germany.

It is a fictionalized story inspired by a village that was divided by the Iron Curtain along a brook known as the Tannbach.The series explores the traumatic period of German history between the end of World War II and 1952. District commissar Werner is removed to Berlin. It also makes me want to watch more German films in the hope that they would be just as good.David Otis Zimmerschied was born on month day 1918, at birth place, Missouri, to Otis John Zimmerscheid and Elsie Leilace Zimmerscheid (born Bruner). If you like war movies this is a good one and I submit that this film will appeal even to people who don't generally watch the genre - like myself. Good guys don't always make it and bad guys escape unpunished. Any acts done in the name of god and country look and feel completely stupid and pointless, and are not sold as heroic drama moments. It is certainly at least one order of magnitude better than most American war movies, perhaps because the sense of hopelessness given by a war lost (morally at least) way before it began gives everything an uncomfortably realistic grit. The story is complex, the script well done, the war effects and related scenes are realistic, the characters are human and change a lot through the film, the acting is exceptional. Years later, when the war is actually over, they meet at the café where they optimistically planned to party that first Christmas, their souls and lives in tatters. The war changes all of those in a gruesome three parter film that lasts for almost five hours. Other such expectations reduce the rate of violence related deaths in a war, make Germans leave nice Jews alone, applaud the loving and caring nature of humans everywhere and. Now, they all start with expectations, the first being that the war will be swift and won by Germany. Also in their group of friends is the boyfriend of the wannabe starlet, who is also a Jew. Then there are two girls, one wishing to become a star like Marlene Dietrich and another preparing to go to the front as a nurse to help the fatherland. The unloved one naturally is an intellectual and an artist, while the other is the pride of his father. There are two brothers, sons of an asshole father who loves just one of them. The plot revolves around five friends, in their late teens and early twenties, happily partying before some of them are sent to the front for the war that "would end by Christmas". It should also be based on real life events, since at the end they show how much each of the protagonists lived. Like a mirror image of Der Untergang, the film depicts the lives of ordinary German people during the same period and shown with the same brutal honesty. They and millions of others wanted to be heroes but none of them could imagine what the war would ultimately do to them and to the rest of the world. Greta obtains papers for Viktor's escape by selling herself to an SS colonel. Charlotte's Nazi ideology crumbles when she betrays a Jewish nurse helping the German army. Wilhelm deserts his troops and is court-martialed. Friedhelm turns into a soulless killing machine. Valor and courage come to the fore, but also betrayal - of values, beliefs, humanity. While Greta is a talented singer who longs to become another Marlene Dietrich, her Jewish boyfriend Viktor still cannot convince his parents to leave Germany. Deeply in love with Wilhelm is Charlotte, a young nurse who looks forward to serving in the Wehrmacht, also on the eastern front. Level-headed, highly decorated officer Wilhelm is off to the eastern front with his younger brother Friedhelm, a sensitive dreamer more interested in literature than warfare. Five friends eager to become heroes in an adventure that will change the face of Europe - and that will forever change them as well.
