criticism
“Remake of the propaganda film of the same name from 1937, relocated to the Second World War, but violent words against the war are now being heard and people are very disrespectful of the Führer. Nevertheless, the film lacks any time-critical distance: the old phrases of military obedience are reproduced without political instinct, ”was the verdict of the lexicon of international film .
