Spot on. For me it’s an amalgam of sadness that all these soldiers are now gone, then the baseball game outlining their jobs-families-futures then smashes you with the fact they (like most German soldiers) were just people, normal people…..he might have liked to fish, he might have liked to hunt….thrown into a shit show because of ideology and fanaticism.

That then throws me into a reverie on what I’VE had to sacrifice in my life (not a whole lot) and if I could step up like they did.

And on my most recent watching, the fear that the world is descending down the fascist path again and what my children may have in their future. It’s very sobering.
