In order to prevent the Allied troops from landing on the beaches of Denmark, the Germans laid more than 1.5 million landmines on the beaches, which seriously affected Denmark's homeland security. After liberation, Denmark used German prisoners of war, who were still very young men, to act as human flesh minesweepers, and use shovels to clear the mines laid by the German army little by little. The movie "Minefield" is based on this story, recreating the scene of young German prisoners of war clearing mines. In the middle of the play, two young prisoners of war were killed. The first was because they were too hungry and ate rat feces that made people vomit, and then they were inexplicably killed by unintentional demining. The third killed was the sergeant's dog, and by the final fourth the truck transporting the mines exploded, leaving only the four surviving young men. The four young men desperately wanted to go home and were eager to build a new Germany, so the sergeant interceded and let them finally return to their own country.

    After reading it, I really want to ask whether people only have the freedom to commit suicide?
