In Reply to: RE: "Stalingrad," a film of the battle from the German side. The problem posted by tinear on October 19, 2008 at 14:07:31
I saw Vilsmaier's version and IIRC, it dealt with the rank and file Wehrmacht soldiers who should not be confused with the various SS troops who were much more indoctrinated and largely responsible for the atrocities.
Follow Ups:
He quotes sources that show the Wehrmacht were willing participants in carrying out atrocities against Russians. The Wehrmacht didn't do as much as the SS because it wasn't their job, but they certainly participated. You don't need indoctrination when you believe all Russians, including civilians, are the enemy.
Henry Metelmann's writing also extensively covers his experience in the Wehrmacht where they "took the gloves" off, so to speak.

and the films that most accurately show the Eastern Front:
Mein Kreig ( German perspective through film cameras carried by soldiers who were there; survivors who narrate their footage )
Come + See ( from the Russian perspective )
Vilsmaers Stalingrad misses by miles in comparison

What a gut wrenching film that is...
going off to conquer their neighbors. Kind of like Americans when first we attacked Vietnam and Iraq. After losses, sure, one has second thoughts........
