Not crying, but it can make people look depressed. Because there is basically no point to sell warmth.
The characters are very real, and the powerlessness of a small individual in the torrent of the times is very well expressed and resonant.
Although Wilhelm knew that he would not die because of the narration, Friedhelm thought that the part when his brother died Really... and the part of himself who was running wildly in front of a group of Su Xiong in white, he took care of himself very well. Although it is often seen in war movies where relatives and friends make lunch and explode seeds, it is very tearful
and kills in E1. The death of the Soviet commissar was a test for both brothers. Wilhelm handed a cigarette to the Soviets, hesitating before shooting. Friedhelm stepped into the mud covered with flies unintentionally... When my younger brother said for the first time that "war will expose our worst side" at the beginning, he was still a young man who was a little dissatisfied with reality and looked on with arms folded , when he said this sentence, he did not fully grasp its cruel meaning. He came step by step, trying to survive this war in which he had a resistance mentality from the very beginning, doing a lot of things against himself. Therefore, he finally had no way to raise his hands and surrender in the Bohemian forest. The soldier who fled with his brother said, "I killed 12 people, and none of them was saved." How much innocent blood was on Friedhelm's hands? He saw the most thoroughly, was the most negative at the beginning, and then became rational and cold-blooded, but in the end, the boy who loved to read in his heart still couldn't forgive himself. "A huge slaughterhouse", the younger brother knew that what they did was meaningless, but he also knew that he had no way out. That's what saddens me the most.
He proposed that Soviet peasants go to mine mines; flee from the telegraph station in Soviet clothes; The bullet was hit; the gallows was also the rope he pulled... "Sometimes you can't think of yourself as a man". In the end, the younger brother had no way out. Death was like a kind of redemption, and it was like he didn't know how to face the world again, and could only get a little bit of relief in the wings of the god of death.
Viktor is the most victim-like character (in fact, his father and the fathers of his brothers are also characters that I care about very much) German Jews, Viktor with this identity should struggle very much. The guerrillas also rejected the Jews, and he remained silent in order to survive, until he opened the red doors of a carriage by the railroad tracks full of white flowers. That morning was an unforgettable morning for many people.
He lived to the end of how many good people he met, the Polish girl, the son of the farmer, the captain of the guerrilla... Greta loved him so much, but he couldn't help him at all. But he finally survived. How lucky he was to save his only life.
Charly started out very simple, very naive and patriotic as a nurse. She is strong and brave, otherwise she would not have been promoted to this job. It is rare that she was soft-hearted in the end, caring for the wounded, and smiling at the Soviet nurses. Lilia and learning of Wilhelm's death was a bigger test for her. She struggled to make choices that some might find wrong, but is there a better way, if you were her.
We don't know what we're doing, we don't know if it's right or wrong, or it's pointless to say that in a war. Even the neutral Red Cross could not hold the balance in his heart. The last paragraph of E3, the memory of the beginning is played back. It was only then that I suddenly felt how beautiful she was smiling when she wore two braids at that time.
Greta may be a little less likable than Charly, she stayed in the rear, and the war progressed to such an extent that she dreamed of being a singer, going to Milan, Paris; fooling around with Jewish boyfriends and officers, so to speak, unscrupulous; unwilling to go The labor force on the Eastern Front is like an abrupt peacock on the battlefield... She may watch the least, and her participation in the war is very low, but she understands that "we will not win". She would speak in a sarcastic, aggressive tone, thinking that she could get what she wanted by her own means, but the world turned out to be uglier than she thought. The song mein kleines Her has appeared many times, and almost every time it has a different meaning. In the beginning, it was just a betrayal of a lover, which is a kind of love affair with children. At the end of the prison, when the BGM sounded, the sound was in my heart. . Maybe it was a song written for the political purpose of the German army, and it also moved ordinary men and women in the bar, and many of what Greta did may also be for selfish purposes. In the end, when she wore a prison uniform and the light in front of her slowly faded, would she still think of herself singing in a red dress at that time?
Wilhelm is probably my favorite character (I do prefer Nissan). E1 began, his mother said, promising her to bring his brother back, and he said yes. The father didn't like his younger brother, he protected Friedhelm, and the younger brother didn't appreciate it very much. At the beginning, his younger brother's negativity made it quite difficult for him to do it. His sense of honor as a soldier and his sense of responsibility as an older brother made him very contradictory. His heart was simpler than his younger brother's. He faltered when there was no support in the tank battle. There is no support in his heart, he chose to escape.
He is the only one alive. His life is much longer than his younger brother. He saw the later reunification of Germany and the later disintegration of the Soviet Union... The youth buried by the war also It will always haunt him, but it is always good to be alive, to be able to drink, and to give blessings to others. Winners and losers, the correct values are written by the winners. They have experienced from heroes to garbage, and they understand much more than us. Those are the truest and the cruelest. We humans ourselves can be scarier than we can imagine.

PS
Germans to shoot such a work, I admire it very much. For works reflecting World War II, I have seen the perspectives of allied countries such as the Celestial Dynasty, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc., but it is difficult to see the axial perspective. The story told is good, dramatic, and objective enough, without any pretense of central thought. My own opinion: Those interested in WW2, not for recreational purposes, should read it by anyone who can rationally reflect on the tragedy of war
