Words from a German officer

Of the entire brotherhood, what impressed me the most was the last episode of the German officer’s words to his soldiers before surrendering,

“This is a long war, and it’s also an arduous war. You fought bravely and proudly for your motherland. , You are an extraordinary group, closely connected to each other, and this kind of friendship exists only in battle. Like brothers, you use the foxhole together to support each other when you need it most. You face death and accept together. Tribulation. In the end, what I want to say is that I am proud to be able to serve with each of you. You have the right to live a happy and peaceful life forever.”

Spielberg intends to let the German officer rather than our protagonist Winter Lieutenant Si or Captain Nixon said such a passage, in fact, want to tell us that this is the voice of all soldiers, whether it is from the Allies or the Axis. Those friendships in war. No matter where they are, there are

soldiers . Soldiers just perform their duties. I think they should all be respected, no matter which country they belong to.
