A great mini-series!
Generation War was a pleasant surprise! It was very historically accurate and the combat scenes were very good. It told a riveting story about five close friends who all went to war in their own different ways. I am definitely glad I purchased Generation War.

Excellent German WWII (three part) Mini-series!
If you are a fan of German WWII Drama's in the vein of Downfall with Bruno Ganz or Das Boot, look no further. Generation War is an excellent and haunting portayal of Germany's War with Russia and the cataclysmic ramifications that soon followed. Up to this point I don't think the German invasion has ever been captured so well on film. Some may feel it's not action heavy enough but that's exactly what I wanted. Just good, bleak drama that shows how pitiful war can be for not just Germany but on country that feels so inclined to partake. Definitely check this out if you like German films and dark, moody dramas.

Overhyped
This miniseries depicts World War II on the Eastern front from the point of view of five Germans. Though it was generally well received in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, I found it somewhat lacking in its portrayal of the war and its effects on the main characters. Perhaps because of its miniseries format, it tended to drag on at times. The male characters were good, but the two female characters were unconvincing and did not age a bit despite undergoing years of ordeal and deprivation.
