'THE LITTLE PICTURE' (Short Film) 

very nicely done this is so sad

Would you do a short of Russian White Army Troops and their view of the war? It's very overlooked.

Toby Kearton, outstanding.

you should have give this film to cinemas so you can get some money for your great work

@@deathmaster4368 That's extremely kind - Trying to get a feature film made - as you can imagine it's tough to obtain financing in this current climate but never giving up...

You're a legend Moe

@@TobyKearton ehh, so are you.

100% agree.

@@TobyKearton you too amazing movie

What you mean big inaccuracies like the Germans not forcing soldiers to do war crimes or a guy getting the highest of honor ( the iron cross ) for just killing a deserter. I enjoyed watching it, its not bad at all but to say someone who disagrees should make a cash donation is kinda stupid. You should donate money .

duh its a short film what do you expect?

Umm I wouldn't say it's better than Hollywoods depictions.

@@45andasideoffries84 yeah the german man is way to good at english and the kid would have gotten shot in an instant. plus kid too young

Lol I just saw this comment on Ceasefire - WW2 ( Short Film )

Bro Not shaved ss officer... You dont gona see that in German army...

@zionistatwork123 No you're generalizing there. It is highly unlikely borderline impossible that not a single German soldier fought for their people. Just take for instance the end of the war were German divisions held back the Red Army so that the people of Berlin can flee to the American and British army to surrender. Those people were definitely fighting for their people. Hitler was still alive, and the Nazi government still existed yet they continued as they wanted to prevent as many Germans as possible from falling into Soviet hands so they disobeyed orders. Are you saying in that the 9th army didn't want to defend the German people but were instead doing that so they won't get shot or disgrace their family?. No those men were fighting to defend their family and the German people.

@zionistatwork123 That was true of British. They didnt have a choice either. 75% of Americans were drafted. Only 25% signed up of their own free will. Fascism and eugenics were very very popular in both Britain and the USA. Spain had a very weak fascist state. The allies didnt even bother deposing Franco. I counted 66 Fascist groups in the UK. I counted one in Ireland (in 1923)

Soldiers fight for each other.

@zionistatwork123 Yeah ? Name one ! The only group in Ireland which were remotely fascist were the Army comrades association (blueshirts) after the civil war. They lasted ONE YEAR. 1932 - 1933. One group , one year. Britain had 66. Every other country , especially the USA and UK had thriving fascist organisations that are still there.

@zionistatwork123 Please shut up your racist comments. You are a disgrace to humanity.

Bruh ngl that wouldnt be bad as a ps5 game tbh

Same my dude

The wifi router vs the fridge

The next Jenesis lol

Haha

Yes I can’t stand it when the actors don’t match the language or accent of the character they are playing

As an American with german roots I can say I do noice when it a german being played by a German actor. It adds a nice little detail too the film.

​@zionistatwork123 I'm talking about the german soldier who doesn't tell his Standartenführer about the english soldier in the room. I am german, so i obviously talk about germans when i talk about our grandfathers. But your comment reads like a confrontation, so i am sure you as a zionist want to prove me wrong and tell me that every german soldier has been a psychopatic animal? Well, go ahead then. Nothing new to me.

@@thatww2nerd81 Agreed!

Don't think that i want to deny any of the atrocities done by germans. I can see your point as well. Of course i do, it is of the utmost importance that we never forget what happened and do everything we can the prevent it from happening again. I live in the Ruhrgebiet and know the stories of the suffering in the factories very well. My grandmother witnessed it first hand, she worked in an ammunition factory back then. I feel very sorry for your family and all the countless milions who suffered and died so horribly and pointless. But there are two sides of the story, not everytrhing was just black or white, good or evil. In those stories germans are depicted as horrible monsters all the time and that sickens me, when i think of my family. Because i have both sides in my ancestry. One of my grandfathers came from a family of fanatical nazis and was SS-Untersturmführer. His brother died on the Scharnhorst. I'm pretty sure he took part in some terrrible actions on the eastern front. He never talked about it, but he was a nazi until his death about 15 years ago. My other grandfather was merely a farmer boy when he got drawn into the Wehrmacht. He wasn't a hero but he wasn't a monster, either. He was just a young boy at the wrong place in the wrong time and didn't really have a choice. Its a little bit like seeing both of my grandfathers when i watch this.

Yes, you are right. SOME. But majority unfortunately were for Hitler. Many succumb to the temptation and everyone wants to be exceptional. The only question is how you are going to achieve this?

actually this man didnt even have to do this, he clearly didnt want to therefor he had the option to refuse, the wermacht (his army varient kind of) was aloud to refuse the command of execution, and not being that guy but am ss officer cant give commands to a wermacht soldier, thats not how it works, he wasnt shaved and the gun was japanese

and even if you were in the ss, you believed in hitler, the ss was a political army and supported hitler and fascism and they made the choice to join the ss

Not really, if a soldier of the Wehrmacht didn't want to do that they were allowed to.

leninlad Yes and no. It wasn’t as simple as you say

Thank you mate - That means a great deal

But do not forget that among these people there were many “people” who burned Soviet citizens with special pleasure in wooden houses, Soviet prisoners of war along with Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Czechs and other racial minorities poisoned in gas camps. And many other war crimes that they committed.

@@user-zm4vo3ru3n yep, whats funny is that the german Navy Or the Kriegsmarine (cant spell it right) didn't like or follow the Nazi partys orders especially Hitler

@@Akashi_Takahashi you actually spelled that correctly

@@user-zm4vo3ru3n *agrees in Holodomor and Siberian Gulags*

@@eyeballpapercut4400 Haha, you're funny. Attributing Holodomor as a distinguishing feature of the USSR, and not as a result of several wars and a global crisis (in which the communists are probably ludicrous, well, who else?) Is a brilliant move. That is, you want to say that the Soviet Gulag is on a par with the Nazi concentration camps? And even worse? Well, yes, in Soviet prisons people were also killed by millions only because they were of a different race or gender (and all the same, that it did not agree with the idea of ​​socialism about coass equality and the Soviet policy on internationalism), and even in Soviet camps it was the norm to eat people, rape women and so on. Sit down, 2 for illiteracy.

Celeste Boni if you really look into details, there are many inaccuracies. But I will agree, the movie itself is well made

I agree

That's the point though, every soldier who ever fought in any war was human, yes it is astonishing

Not in this time pal, ppl too rotten and only very little amount of "HUMAN" still here

HUMANITY IN WAR WILL GET YOU KILLED....

@@immobilien Sometimes, yes

War brings out the best and the worst in you and shows who you realy are. Unfortunatly , its the worst in most cases.

Yup

Girls boring boys quirky stfu

Yeet RIP

@@rabbitmilk1886 Am I quirky then? I cried in this movie lol.

girls too :(

Frank Teryngel the unshaven part isn’t really that unrealistic, it was often common especially on the eastern front that German Soilders were unshaven

@@carljohnson4473 Yes, with the frontline units which didn't have much time. Also it somewhat depended on the commander. But majority of soldiers will be clean shaven, with exception of some mustaches and special cases (like mountain troops in mountains, if they lack sufficient water supply).

:/ :(

I'd take this critic serious if the film was made by a big production, but no

@@lucioalvarez5125 Both amateur films and big production films set in WWII usually use reenactors. Because of this historical accurracy should be very high in both. If you want a good example of short film with no big production, being done right I'd recommend Wiking (2019), Die Wacht am Rhein (2018) (both are by the same guy I think) and series Verstaubt sind die Gesichter. There are still some mistakes in all of them, but much less noticeable.

Yes ja man du hast recht

No, the medal he received was the "Ritterkreuz" (Knight`s Cross of the Iron Cross).

@@marcaurel2610 And it is a shame that the German native actors didn't know this.

He said medal not metal

All very good points.

in war there is not very often time for shaving

@@xxnecromancerxx8234 The kind of shave seen in the video can be seen only with Mountain troops when they lack water and are deployed in mountains, or with normal soldiers after they went through several days of fighting. Otherwise you WILL find a time to shave.

Exquizardus Hymen Valencia Skelligan have you ever heard of war?😂 its not always action 90% of the time ist just waiting

Frank Teryngel ...In WAR soldiers often have more important things to do than shaving their face to look good for... self-confidence? I guess... I‘m not sure for what... but anyway there are also soldiers who don’t want to shave their beard completely off due of babyface or whatever reasons. I didn‘t say that there is no time at all for shaving... I don't mean it literally

@@xxnecromancerxx8234 You're underestimating the amount of time the soldiers had. Besides, more important things? Sure but shaving was pretty important. You seem to not be informed well-enough about the reasons why shaving was done so I'll inform you: if you didn't shave the early gas-masks won't create airtight seal, because of that it is crucial to shave (the only thing which was allowed for the german army was some types of moustaches because they didn't disrupt the airtight seal of the gas mask, I'm pretty sure the situation was similar to other armies of the time as well), that became apparent with WWI and was carried into WWII and later even though the gas-masks of that time were improved. Another reason is because of parasites like fleas and louses which is also a big problem (that's why soldiers have short haircuts, or even shaved head). Those are problems which will be especially present in conventional war fought by masses of soldiers, that's why today you often have western soldiers with beards - because conflicts they fight are mostly fought by small-scale units and in much better conditions (these soldiers mostly live in bases, not in mud and dirt of the battlefield).

@Funniest Shit I've Ever Seen it's a critique, calm down. He isn't "hating" on it, infact, the directors could actually use this criticism in their future WW2 films and make them better. When it comes to films, criticism is what you NEED whether you like it or not & no matter how small of a project it is. I hope you have a good day.

lol

I do brother. But may I ask who you believe the SS officer to represent?

@@irongeneral7861 A small mustache mad austrian that was refused as a artist and now sends SS offiziers kill people.

@@mafia_boss_neto Well, of course he represents Nazi leadership in this short. To me or you at least. I'm curious of the OP's thoughts. Also I find it bloody odd that a theorized super tank, which would have never been possible to produce or maintain, would want to comment on such matters.

@@irongeneral7861 Tbh, at least 45% of the Gestapo and SS were only making their job. Of course 55% were killing whoever they want. And Heer had about 70% guys forced to fight, or that needed to feed the family. So that goes for Kriegsmarine, and Lufftwave, that represents the wehrmacht's 3 armed forces. This is my opinion, of course lots of them were assholes and stuff but not all were nazi, some were just defending their country and trying to prove themselves. I'm not a nazi I just know that not everyone is from said government for trying to defend their countries. Also, Gestapo has 2 defenses: First they had multiples departments, that were A1, A2, etc till E6, and only B6 really went to execute jews. Some departments were on other religions, or anti spyonage or even anti desertors and traitors. So yes, not all Gestapo hated Jews, as they are represented. Second, they were just a standart secret police controlled by SS. Guess who more was? SD, SiPO, Kreiz, etc, including Orpo, the STANDART UNIFORMIZED CIVIL POLICE. So yes. You may call me a Nazi but I'm just saying that in any evil army, there is people that aren't evil...

@@irongeneral7861 This movie was a example: In theory the soldier is SS and he still gave a iron cross and his only child's thoughts to a man he talked to 5 minutes, and he was not really wanting to kill the desertor. Otto was a brainwashed man, like the mostly low ranks and NCO's were. Not all Officers were, too.

Most Germans were patriots serving their country. Just like any on the Allied side.

Plenty of atrocities committed by the Allies too, truth be told. Most Germans were just serving their country. Salute to their service.

@Soviet Union says the guy with a Soviet Union pfp which killed more of it's own citizens than Hitler's ever had.

@Soviet Union The Soviet Union committed much greater atrocities over a much longer period of time than the German National Socialists ever did, especially the atrocities that were committed against the German people. Do you fantasize about the mass rapes "comrade"?

Thank you Gary - Means a lot!

Thorsten Nommensen Was that not Waffen?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nyVBAV-kq5s.html see this you wanna know the truth is...

Alfrons Rebane yea Waffen-SS they have play a big role during the battle of Normandy Caen,Mortain,Falaise pocket & many others,mixture of German unit was possible the exemple being the battle of carentan & battle for the bloody gulch in wich the 17th ss & 6th FJ regiment were mixed together during those actions,apart from that this kind of thing were pretty uncommon.

wat i mean..! its bad....irrsinnig XD

not to mention the Ritterkreuz the guy is wearing. Very few people were awarded that, usually officers, tank/fighter aces, etc.

I would love to collaborate in a future project as I am an actor and writer!! Please drop me a DM if you are keen!!!

untold history: The most common german men didnt want a second war after WW1. Only the strong believing Nazis, especially the young men , wich had been brain washed by Nazi system for 6 years believed in.....but even they realized within the war and the brutality of the german war crimes that they had been betrayed. But too late. If they didnt obey their orders, they had to face german execution commands. Nazi regime had no mercy with germans too. Lost generation on both sides.

Am I in trouble?

Tien Trinh Maybe....

FBI Special agents heeey....

OH YEAH...SURREEEE! "GREAT JOB"! THAT'S WHY IT'S FULL OF INACCURACIES!

Agreed. Also rather odd, (but again not impossible in the post-D Day confusion) that a Wehrmacht soldier was under the command of an SS officer... xx SF

@Nordic of the East Texas Pines Not only odd, but goofy. A Heer soldier might get mixed in with some Waffen SS in the confusion of battle. But the Heer soldier would definitely not fall under the command of any Waffen SS soldier, regardless of rank. They would most likely fight together out of convenience and then split up after the fog of confusion had lifted to find their respective units. But most assuredly no WSS officer would or could order a Heer soldier to summarily execute a deserter, nor would a Heer soldier ever follow the order of a WSS officer.

@Nordic of the East Texas Pines Well, the Einsatzgruppen only ever operated on the Eastern Front and were disbanded by 1943 following the establishment of purpose-built extermination camps like Treblinka, Maijdanek and Sobibor. (That is, camps that had no other purpose than mass-murder, unlike Auschwitz, which ALSO had a facility to employ slave labour). Interestingly, you are quite correct in stating that the Einsatzgruppen were SD/SS formations, (including Police Battalions) yet regular Wehrmacht troops were never involved in those sorts of operations, indeed such operations were kept quite secret from regular army units. Of course, local militia or police units (Latvian/Estonian/Ukranian) were often co-opted into that killing process. But Einsatzgruppen members were not affiliated to the Waffen (Combat) SS, but were security or police formations. By 1943, elements of the SD/SS were indeed inducted into the Waffen SS as a 'Polizei Regiment' employed in the East and later in France as an anti-partizan combat unit. However, the term 'Einsatzgruppen' is specific and particular to those SD/SS/Police units solely concerned with the mass execution of civilians in the Eastern Territories. xx SF

@@garypulliam3740 This isn't actually true! Towards the close of the war, ad-hoc battlegroups were formed and some of these would have composed Wehrmacht/Heer/Waffen SS possibly under the command of a Waffen SS officer or commander. (SS Feldgendarmerie units could and did summarily execute Werhmacht soldiers for supposed desertion or simply for refusing to obey established orders. It would be a very foolish Werhmacht soldier who disagreed with an SS officer or field commander. Indeed, given standing orders, it would be quite permissible for even an SS NCO to summarily execute even a senior army officer if it was believed that that officer was in dereliction of his duty). There are numerous accounts of this happening. xx SF

@@garypulliam3740 your last statement is wrong. Caen is an example but few occasions arose where SS commanded Heer Units, and likely many heer would follow an SS officers command tho he wouldn't have to

I apologise for my wrong observation about the P38. It was not cocked😕. This makes the whole film perfect. My apologies again.👍
