The series brings few new things to the genre – primarily new view of the German soldier, which in most movies is just the typical nondescript “bad guy” on the other side. The series is not a war movie, though there are some quite good combat scenes, the focus is however on retelling fate of the people during the wartime. Two of them are soldiers in the Wehrmacht and lives of the rest are of course unavoidably impacted by the war. Unsere Mutter, Unsere Vater is a three-part series (approximately 90 minutes each part), which tells story of five young Germans from the beginning of the war till the end. It has been dubbed to be the German Band of Brothers, though its theme is different from the HBO’s series. In the country which sometimes still struggles to come to terms with its past, this new series has been highly praised. The surprising part is the origin of this new series – it is made in Germany. No wonder I was then bit surprised when I have learned about the new TV series (again) which perhaps could be coming to the screens in short time dealing with the topic of WWII. With the exceptions of well-known two TV series by HBO, this genre seemed to be out of favour with film producers in the past years. I guess I am bit picky when it comes to the war movies, so there is ony handful of those I really believe are really worth watching.
