My War

"Mein Krieg" is a singular documentary view of World War 2 through the eyes of six German soldiers carrying home-movie cameras through training, combat and a devastated Belorussia.

This footage, much of it in color, offers a soldier's eye view of the German army day-to-day activities as it advanced into USSR during 1942. The only narrative voices are those of the soldiers who, fifty years later, recall the transgressions of their youth, recount the social pressures that...
