(Spoilers to follow) I encountered a few moments during this film plot-wise where I could not suspend disbelief: namely when the character Viktor escapes from a moving train and when a Russian POW character whom Charlotte betrays early in the movie later returns as a Soviet NKVD officer. As far as historical accuracy, having read history texts that include letters and statements from Germans during the second world war, I think that "Generation War" is tenuously believable, although it depicts five young people whose views start out on the more socially liberal side of the German political spectrum during this time period.

I cannot say much without giving too much spoilers (which is all of what I was going to say after this) you just have to watch it. in Band of Brothers), this focused on the lives of 5 friends, which 2 of them shares experiences of their life in the 'homefront' and what is happening in Germany itself not entirely focused on the war effort. Although it does show some perspective of the war through the Wehrmacht soldiers (just like Maj. Barbarossa and in France but it was completely something else, something deep.
