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.

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 😊

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.

Man that's heartbreaking.

That was perfect! i even talked to myself with the details of this movie, in short just perfect. Keep it up.

An absolutely incredible short film

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.

The film brings tears to my eyes.

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

Brought tears to my eyes. Almost everyone would have seen himself/ herself in that German officer's shoes. Why did they kill him? I wish this war wouldn't have happened.

Strangers, acquaintances, close friends. "A stranger, a friend you haven't met yet" An enemy, an individual who made one so angry that they could kill them or as in that, they set about trying to kill them and become, the enemy.
