Have you noticed that the humanity and the destruction of life in the play were bestowed by Hitler?

Although it's a very old movie, I'm reviewing 24 classic war films recently, so I watched it for the first time, the full version, from the beginning of life on the beach to the sad ending. The previous rendering of the war atmosphere was good, but after watching it, I discovered that this movie did not intend to use grand war scenes to attract the audience, but to arouse people's condemnation of the war to exterminate humanity from the revelation of human nature in the war. German soldiers are also human beings. Some of them have been trained as war machines, but more of them are flesh and blood and sentimental. At the beginning, the truce between the two sides to rescue the wounded seemed funny. I doubt whether such a plot really existed in this battle, but it is similar to the plot of the truce in "War Horse" that rescued the horse. When the two sides put down their arms and face each other, I said to them in my heart, does it make sense? Why do we have to pierce the bayonet into each other's body? Why do you want to kill these strangers at all costs? We are just watching a movie now, but will you feel that way when you are on the scene?

There will be no scenes in the later plots, and only death awaits these protagonists in the movie. But we have also seen that when soldiers have no food, no medicines, and no protection from the cold, Nazi officers still lead a comfortable life. This is also a product of German totalitarianism under the rule of the Nazi Party. The lower the status of people, the more their lives are. The more trivial it is. I have watched many American movies and war movies. Although many of them are to beautify US imperialism, in reality, we know that the US military will at least treat the lives of soldiers not so indifferently, and will not shoot like the Russians in "A Soldier Under the City". Soldiers who retreated would not shoot people casually like the Germans.

Finally, back to the title, it was Hitler's genocide, which killed 6 million people. Was it worth the Second World War that took millions of lives in the battle of Stalingrad? The fate of most people is in the hands of tyrants. What a terrible thing it will be. I hope that similar history will never repeat itself. You might say that you didn't kill me or I killed you on the battlefield. Yes, this is true, but behind this, we should probably consider whether this is a just war or a war controlled by evil forces. Even if the truth is deceived, I believe we will discover it over time.
