Netflix recommendation - GENERATION WAR

GENERATION WAR. Sort of a German Band of Brothers, 3 part mini-series. I'll let the trailer speak for itself. Epic in my opinion.

Watched it today. Some historical inaccuracies, but overall, excellent.

You can watch it on TV but, depending on how 'smart' your TV is, you may need a device to feed it to the TV.

You will need a netflix.com account and the signal comes over your internet connection rather than through the airwaves.

You can get Netflix now on a variety of devices, including most Smart TV's, BluRay/DVD players and Roku boxes, all of which can pick up your home wireless internet (or alternatively, a LAN connection). 
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

No, at the highest level. Now. We only can get Wildblue or Hughes satellite here. I think some get dish too.

NO SPOILERS>>>>


Okay....right from the top, another thank you to NCD for suggesting Generation War.  Love the subtitles.

This is a 3 episode series, each 1-1/2 hrs.   It's a story of five German friends, two of which are girls.  Starts in 1941, Germany.

Wilhelm and Friedhelm are brothers. Viktor is their Jewish friend since childhood.  Charlotte is sweet on Wilhelm and Greta dreams of being the next Greta Garbo.   

They take a group photo and promise to see each other again at Christmas....seven months away.   

Halfway through the first episode, I had to turn it off.   More than twice.  Affects me when I see the German/Jew thing played out.

It's a terrific series so far.

Just want to point out this though....Early on in the 2nd episode (1943 Germany), Greta is sitting at the curb in the back seat of a car with a driver.

She nonchalantly looks out the window up the street and she sees an frail elderly couple in very nice winter coats with yellow stars being escorted into vehicles by German soldiers and plainclothes authorities.

Don't ANYBODY ever tell me that it couldn't happen here. 

Not after seeing how they've portrayed it expanding from the very beginning.

If not for the damned 2nd Amendment, it would be happening right about now.

One think I like about the film is how it doesn't show the Hollywood stereotypical German soldier, and citizen in general. They were not all jack-booted Nazis - most having the same hopes and dreams of a better life just like their brethren in in America. Many were against the Hitler regime, such as those who were members of the White Rose as portrayed in another excellent German movie, Sophie Scholl-The Final Days.
