Bunker 611 - German WWII Shortfilm 4K (ENGISH SUB) 

I have assisted in the production of a similar short film with the help of re-enactors. I also acquire, restore and deal in WWI/ WWII kit and could pick up small errors all day long, however, remember this is shot in a day and produced in 2 weeks. I think it’s a very nice little production. Imagine what this producer can do with a budget, time, historians/ research, props, locations etc. We can all show off with our historical accuracies but some of us don’t, but appreciate the effort. The boredom and blandness is very accurate indeed as in most wars. Well done to all involved.

As an American who knew several people who and been in this war, I sincerely appreciate how it attempted to tell a short story. Well done.

The german Language is a Bit wrong

That paratrooper is firing multiple rounds from a bolt action rifle without working the bolt. Only problem I've readily noticed.

The color and set decorating is awesome, brings out the historical aspects brilliantly. Nicely done. Cheers.

**Yells Grenade** *stares at grenade*

This really just says, no matter what side they’re on: they have people at home that miss them, weep for them each day, but will never see them ever again. Each troop is a person and should be treated as such in times like this

0:39 the guy is eating bread and laughing

At 5:03 the first bolt action rifle semiautomatic

For all of you judging the full because "oh a semi-automatic bolt action rifle" or "the german has an M1" you can piss off. This is a small short film made by a small group of people and not everyone has the money to afford such equipment for a short film so please do not judge for these inaccuracies

Officer: What is this mess on the table German soldier: I don’t know German soldier 1944

Very well done. As a content creator myself I know how much work it takes to produce content, good job!

Ich finds lustig wie man den Englischen Akzent aus ihren deutsch raus hört

The first 5 minutes was 1st class outstanding, as good as Hollaywood! The lighting, the story, the men...! The last minute was 3rd class with a German straight bolt rifle firing semi-auto, American soldiers closing on the bunker with no German infantry support firing at them with MG-42, MP-40, or K98 Mauser or potato masher granades being thrown at them...

5:11 gayest throw in the history of cinema

Sir,I'm not war crazy but I love these films from whatever nationality they help me to be a better person,thank you so much

keep up the good work! i really like this video and see how much effort and passion you put into it!

I saw just a few inaccuracies here: 1. The regiment number until the shoulder pads of one of the soldiers - if no one else is using them in his unit, why is he? They were barely ever used in WW2. 2. The soldier who, from what the story tells, isn't very enthusiastic about the war and just wants to go home, has the helmet decals. After the order was given out to remove them all in 1939 (or 1940, I don't remember right now), typically the only soldiers who kept them were so diehard patriotic, they would've jumped the opportunity to get transferred to Waffen SS if they could.

There will never a victory in any war. A great short film.

Very Amazing short film 👌 🙌 I love the army and always wanted the explore the past of our military history. Very amazing again thank you.

Mein Frau? Was wird gesprochen ist fast korrekt.

This bunker 611 is in Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands. Been there several times.

Wow that was amazing, great job

despite budgets, such efforts are really needed to demonstrate that real humans fought on each side

That grenade didn’t go off for a while they had time to throw it back

I love these shortfilms in order to see the war from the Germans perspective!

Love the enthusiasm with which this nice piece of work was done :) Very inspiring. It would have been probably much easier to make a video about dutch resistance fighters vs. german occupants. But this approach is more brave. Well done :) What was the PAK 40(?) actually fireing at? If an enemy is that close, you don't need binoculars anymore to spot him ;)

This is well done. People are nitpicking the hell out of stupid details. Like they could make a better film. Guess what, I am a historian and the incorrect depiction of a bolt action rifle doesn't matter. That isn't what history is about. What matters is the depiction of a young man that just wants to survive and go home.

Well made, sad and tragic for those brave German soldiers that just wanted to go home

A week ago I found German WW2 helmet in my village . As it seemed like , looking at hole on hat being made by Soviet or Yugoslav bullet , I've found this : " That German soldier was retreating and when he wanted to jump over fence , bullet hit him in head and he fell down and died " .

Something similar actually happened near the town of Troppau. My grandfather who served there as a Panzerkommandant told me that one bunker was stormed with artillery fire for about a week. When the soldiers defending it ran out of food, they came out with their hands up. Soviets threw a grenade inside, that killed the remaining soldiers and shot the rest.

I loved it great job making it

4:42 I can hear my morning alarm in the background (COD german alarm)

LOL! :-D The bread had its own credits at the end :-)

Nicely done. Bravo!

Bunker 611? Perhaps Regelbau 625? Have viewed several of these models in Holland.

Jonge... i waiting for the Boys from Maaskantje ...heavy dutch accent .. 😉

Yeah the bolt action business is messed up but what I want to know is where the hell a bunker would be that is supposedly on the Atlantic wall (with a rather small gun mind you) that is being attacked by paratroopers... in daylight. Additionally how wouldn't have our dear Dietrich not have woken up in the middle of the night from AA firing on the paratroop planes or the pre-landing bombardment in the early hours of the morning before any light. I don't know, seems like they had some gear and an idea and decided to make a short film. At any rate, still better than anything I could produce lol. Cool story bro.

Sad ending but PRIMA film !#! 💪

Wow , didnt notice the war had started til the allies were right at their bunker, They were really on the ball, But well done

It's what happens when your men smoke too much hashish without any ventilation inside a bunker. 5:24

2:33 this scene. He's accents more like Dutch

Amazing short movie love the uniforms

Excellent production.... 5 stars to you. Could you tell me who is composer of the final music track.

This is better than Hollywood

I hope you guys make a real movie 👍

Wow! That bolt action rifle fires sooooo fast I didn’t even see the guy rack the bolt.

Ergreifend, Tragisch , Gewaltig !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

"WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY!" They killed Patton for speaking the truth

They wouldnt have said defending from the allies which would mean they are on the same side

Do you guys have Sauerkraut? I didnt get any at the Stabskommandantur

Very interesting, I'd love to see more stories of these men on the atlantic wall. Keep up the great effort on uniforms, equipment and location. These details hit the mark for we historians and are a great element in your presentation. I don't think the acting and editing are all that bad. You'll refine it easily with experiance and practice. Just dont try to mimic something you've already seen just for lack of creativity. If it was so easy, the over budgeted and over acted productions from hollyweird would be better. I hope you produce more.

5:05 it was a bolt-action rifle how could it fire multiple times

2:50 Audio aus "Call of Duty" 😂

GREAT WORK! First class.

The accent you hear here is Dutch. I'm a Dutch person who speaks German myself and I could hear it the second the commander started speaking.

It’s a probuble a m1 grand

Das ist kein gutes deutsch 🤦‍♂️

That was quick for the GIs to come ashore against the Atlantic Wall, without the Germans sounding the alarm earlier.

The story is fair up to a point. D-Day was a time of stark terror for most of the German troops on the Atlantic wall. Minutes went on for hours. Hours became weeks. There is no feeling of "Time dilation" here. The battle, what there is of it, is rushed as if to get to an end quickly because filming is expensive, rather than to make a statement about the loneliness that goes on forever broken only by short intervals of blood, terror, and loss. Most of the characters are underdeveloped, and in the end Bunker 611 isn't a place we really know or care about, any more than the people inside it. I liked the letter part of it, because it gave a "speaking role" to at least one of the characters, without the burden of excess dialogue. You need to rewrite the beginning completely. No mention of D-Day, France, The Wall, or what the audience knows is coming. Because once the audience knows this, everything is cold and set in stone. Just have six young kids at a new post seemingly nowhere except a forlorn sand pile (remember the OkW thought more of Pas-de-Calais as an invasion site.) Then, as it was that morning, all hell broke loose. What they do, and how they react should be the action, drama, and tragedy, of their story. The end also has to change obviously. Someone must live to tell the story, even if he dies at the end.

I’m not saying that what the nazis did any good but you got to admit they had some very cool uniforms

It shows the real perspective of war on the german side. Not every soldier was interested in the war as some were feasting and drinking.

Appeared as if grenade fell in front of the cannon, but was found to be not only behind the cannon but behind the soldiers.

Problems I’ve noticed: gun shots need to be louder, they sound like pellet guns, and there was a paratrooper shooting a bolt action rifle without operating the bolt in between shots

A bolt action rifle but didnt use the bolt. What a nice gun from the allies.

is this spoken by dutch people (i am dutch and it sounds just the same when i speak german)

Great film. I see the Regelbau 611 didn't have an MG covering the rear of the bunker, which is strange.

that paratrooper was firing the bolt action rifle without pulling the bolt backwards.

The ending was terribly unrealistic/

Wait....wait .....wait. Why in the hell is he using binoculars and if the American soldiers are like just right there? Why are they firing a anti-tank gun at infantry???? Who the hell shots a rifle inside a bunker??? Am lost like the script is lost???

Lex en Frans: Kennen jullie de documentaire "Treffpunkt Erasmus"? Misschien interessant voor jullie! Succes met jullie studie!

Sehr schönes Video! Die deutschen Texte könnte man mit einem Deutschen am Set noch etwas besser hinbekommen aber alles in allem eine schöne Produktion! Grüße aus Deutschland :)

Onece apron a time there was a boy in a bunker, suddenly a grenade appeared The end.

Hey Im German are you Crazy ????👇👇👇👇👇 Wass eine Unverschämtheit 👇👇👇👇

Jerry don't have to worry about wine growing any longer.

Was reading the book dday by Antony beevar, the was a darkly hilarious bit. It was in the chapter about the airborne assault on dday. The part described a bunker that the Americans had to take, inside there was 6 polish conscripted soldiers and only one German. When the allies approached the bunker they heard shouting, followed by a single gunshot, then laughing. The polish then came out of the bunker unarmed surrendering, they weren’t gonna die for Germany so they shot the commander apparently.

5:03 he activated automatic bolt action rifle.

So ein Blödsinn, die Amis wären genau ins MG-Feuer gelaufen! 😜

👏👏👏👏👏 como é o nome do filme

You heart needs to be in it dude!

going over the cast list. explains why the German didn't sound German

We were them. They were us.

This is a very good little film well done not bad at all

Very, veryr nice video! Great job by all involved, especially the actors! I think some get lost in the petty details and forget to appreciate the "big picture". Especially since most of us have been conditioned by decades of cinema to expect near perfection in combat conditions. A grenade in the bunker? Someone will immediately scoop it up and throw it back or fall upon it, saving the rest of the squad. However, if one wishes to quibble, why does an 88mm gun firing on the beach landings not have covering protection in or near the bunker so that US paratroopers cannot romp up to the firing slit unnoticed? And did not the US paratroopers land further inland? There is no perfection in an imperfect world. Let us appreciate the excellent!

These Germans are speaking German with a American accent 😂

This was honestly bland AF

Dieser Moment wenn man den englischen Untertitel besser versteht als die Worte der Soldaten

Great film , by the way , how much is the budget for making this ?

Vor dem Bunker rennen Amis rum -> die schau ich mir Mal ganz genau mit dem Feldstecher an ...

This is not real german

For those commenting on the Gewehr 98 being fired by an American in semi auto. This was a cinematic limitation ive made films for a while and let me tell you, when they used the wrong rifle, (they know) they clearly couldn’t afford, or find an M1 Garand prop, so they just substituted it for a different long piece of wood and metal and had to hope that it wouldn’t be too noticeable in the shot, but Its not like someone comments “wow bolt action in semi auto? INCORRECT, American holding a german rifle? INCORRECT” well yes, but no because the gewehr 98 was basically “acting” as a m1 garand

5:03 he's shooting like with a semi-automatic gun, yet it's a bolt action rifle and you can see that the prop grenade has no detonator on the bottom. I'm just pointing out things so that you guys could improve on making things more realistic. I understand that you don't work for Hollywood but you get it. Besides that, great film!

Did I just watch a German with a m1 garand? Before Americans came? Hmm.... A German M1 garand

Die meisten Sätze sind von der Aussprache komplett falsch

The one thing that these shorts are missing is the discipline the Wehrmacht had.

No man should die .. for the sense of power. We should respect and consider everyone..NO MORE WAR !!!!!!

Kauf dir ein Tüte deutsche Kostet 4 Geld Hat mir auch gehelft😂😅

Das Deutsch ist scheiße! Erstmal aussprache Üben🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

No it can't be the end nooooooo i cried!!!

You only fire a rifle inside a bunker once because immediately afterwards all your deafened fellow soldiers would be kicking your head in. Likewise, standing next to or immediately in front of the muzzle end of a large calibre gun when it fires is also a once in a lifetime move. The blast would shred anyone that close.
