GRITTY German-made series set in World War Two pulls no punches in a very realistic portrayal of the futility of war. Five friends are drawn into the conflict in the summer of 1941, promising each other they will be back home for Christmas. Little do they realise how much the deprivations and terrors of war will change them. German with English subtitles.
