Then there are two girls, one wishing to become a star like Marlene Dietrich and another preparing to go to the front as a nurse to help the fatherland. The unloved one naturally is an intellectual and an artist, while the other is the pride of his father. There are two brothers, sons of an asshole father who loves just one of them. The plot revolves around five friends, in their late teens and early twenties, happily partying before some of them are sent to the front for the war that "would end by Christmas". It should also be based on real life events, since at the end they show how much each of the protagonists lived. Like a mirror image of Der Untergang, the film depicts the lives of ordinary German people during the same period and shown with the same brutal honesty. There are some scenes which do come off as being contrived, especially towards the end, but these are fairly minor blemishes in what is otherwise a superb series. In between we have some good battle scenes, some great intrigue and some good human drama.

The individual story arcs are incredibly interesting and plausible and are what holds the series together. One woman goes from fervently pro-Hitler to distinctly anti the Nazis and the war. One soldier goes from coward to callous killer. Quite realistic and a harrowing ordeal, especially as the war goes on. Incredibly successful in this regard as we not only see the battles from the everyday soldier's perspective but home life and the persecution of Jews. Quite original in this regard as it tries to capture a broad German experience.

Not just the military point of view but also from a civilian aspect and a Jewish aspect. Very gritty and engaging war drama showing WW2 from the German perspective. Their individual experiences of the war will vary somewhat but their aim is to one day be reunited. One will be a nurse in a field hospital on the Eastern Front. Two are soldiers, off to fight on the Eastern Front. Five friends, three men, two women, meet in Berlin and, confident that the war is going Germany's way, promise to meet up again at Christmas.
