German director Josef Wilsmayer's excellent work describing the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II from a German perspective.
The Battle of Stalingrad was an unprecedented defeat for Germany in World War II, and it was also a major turning point in the European battlefield. The Soviet Red Army blocked the bombardment of German artillery and aircraft with its own flesh. While describing the battle, the film attempts to explore how the two victims changed their fate due to the war.
In 1942, a few very ordinary German soldiers were transferred to the Stalingrad front line from the warm seaside, and they were soon engulfed by the brutal fire of war. With the onset of winter, the severe cold became something more terrifying than fighting. In the ice and snow, what they think about is not how to fight, but how to survive. Thousands of German soldiers died every day. The defeat of the German army was like a catastrophe. The soldiers died one by one, and the last two people froze to death on the white ice in the warmth of the fantasy of returning home.
