Wow. As a former WWII reenactor (and a Marine Corps veteran), I'm sad to say I developed a habit of nit-picking these WWII shorts. This one, however, was unbelievably well-done in every regard: the acting, the uniforms, and the script were all well above par. Frankly, the finest WWII short I've ever seen. Thank you.

Suffolks of the 3rd infantry division (depicted here) are the liberators of my village when they crossed the Dutch - Belgian border. A few years ago in the village square a small monument was unveiled made out of a universal carrier track that was left at a farm in attendance of a veteran.

Thank you for creating and sharing this beautiful film. Wonderful acting, especially the British soldier at the end, his emotion. I think it was easier to drum up hate in one's heart as a defensive mechanism to get them through the horrors of having to kill their fellow men.

One of the best ones of these that I have seen.Great Acting and very authentic. Would be nice to see a D Day episode

Those MP's are fast as shit. That was the quickest 3 miles ever.

This was a amazing film. 10/10 acting, equipment, everything 10/10.

That was a good wee movie that had a lot of emotion in it in such a short time.

Well done guys - if you do that for 7 more weekends you've got a feature - And your acting is excellent. Also - your movement - approaching the house, moving round it, use of weapons etc is spot. And the uniforms look the biz.

This was a fantastic short

Only the bad circumstances make people to enemies, sad story, never again.

An absolutely incredible short film

Love this kind of content keep it up!

Absolutely great short film

heart breaking the costs of war.

Thanks to all the actors and writers. First rate job.

Edit: I'd also like to say what a fantastic 10 minutes this really was, you gents did a great job. I'd really love a Band of Brothers/The Pacific style series based on the British involvement of WW2. I respect our American allies for what they did but as a British citizen it'd be nice to see on film what my ancestors did for a change, from the start of the war in 1939 to its end in 1945, visualised in a way that it hasn't really be done before. I know there are films and shows but as far as I'm aware they're all quite old with the exception of a few from the top of my head such as Dunkirk, the imitiation game or 1917 which is of course set in WW1. If anyone has any suggestions please fire away 😊
