The most impressive character is the German colonel

After watching the film, I was most impressed by the German colonel, who was very heroic. During the viewing process, I hoped that the colonel would not die. In addition, I don’t quite understand the love of political commissars. In such a war-torn era, it should not be about love. Don’t you think about how to protect the country and yourself first? I think this plot is far-fetched. At the beginning, I also had reservations about the Soviet army's tactic of relying on human shields to move forward. Although I don't know much about the truth of history, such a tactic does not seem to be very clever. It’s hard not to belittle communism when it comes to the Soviet story filmed in the United States, and it’s good for people watching the film to have their own ideas. It should be very good for this story to be filmed like this, at least most of the characters are not so facialized.
