Soldiers Soldiering
5 January 2023
"Westernfront 1918" is a German movie about the Great War aka WWI. It follows a small unit of Germans fighting the French. There is a little focus on two characters, Karl (Gustav Diesel) and The Student (Hans-Joachim Mobis), with most of the focus on the fighting itself.

The set is wonderful. It is incredibly realistic. It easily rivals battle sets of later years such as "Saving Private Ryan," "Fury," or "1917." The pyrotechnics, sound effects, and other special effects can't compare to today, but it I would say that it was advanced for 1930.

If you like war movies, this is a good one to add to your list.
