Generation War (Unsere MΓΌtter, unsere VΓ€ter, 2013) is a German mini-series directed by Philipp Kadelbach. It follows five young friends from Berlin as they experience the horrors of World War II between 1941 and 1945.
Synopsis
The story begins in 1941 in Berlin. Five carefree friends gather before the war separates them:
- Wilhelm (Volker Bruch), an idealistic officer in the Wehrmacht.
- Friedhelm (Tom Schilling), his younger brother, a pacifist and reluctant soldier.
- Charlotte (Miriam Stein), a nurse secretly in love with Wilhelm.
- Greta (Katharina SchΓΌttler), a singer dreaming of fame.
- Viktor (Ludwig Trepte), a Jewish German facing Nazi persecution.
Their belief in a quick victory shatters as they confront the brutal reality of the Eastern Front, propaganda, betrayal, and the dehumanization of war.
