World War II Epic Sets Off Life-Changing Journey: Generation War Episode 1 Reaction!

Hi all and welcome to Thea and The Movies where I react to the best of Film and TV.

In this Video, I react to the Episode 1 of the Mini Series ‘Generation War’ (2013) aka Unsere Mutter Unsere Vater. This episode is titled ‘Eine Andere Zeit’.

Berlin, Germany, 1941. Five friends eager to become heroes in an adventure that will change the face of Europe - and that will forever change them as well.

Level-headed, highly decorated officer Wilhelm is off to the eastern front with his younger brother Friedhelm, a sensitive dreamer more interested in literature than warfare.

Deeply in love with Wilhelm is Charlotte, a young nurse who looks forward to serving in the Wehrmacht, also on the eastern front.

While Greta is a talented singer who longs to become another Marlene Dietrich, her Jewish boyfriend Viktor still cannot convince his parents to leave Germany... Valour and courage come to the fore, but also betrayal - of values, beliefs, humanity.

They and millions of others wanted to be heroes; but none of them could imagine what the war would ultimately do to them and to the rest of the world.

This mini-series scores an 8.4/10 on IMDB and I personally would rate it a 9/10 as this is one of my favourite series ever after reacting to it!
