★★★★★ · amazing film! · Johannes Wilm · 2009-02-28

This movie is nothing less than incredible. In a time when Germany once again was about to head for conflict, war and destruction, it is amazing to see the kind of opposition there actually was to the nationalist ideas of the time and how widespread the ideas of international solidarity were. The publication of this movie rewrites German and world history on the second world war. It's an absolute must-see for any serious history enthusiast.

Great. How would you classify this movie? Pacifist propaganda? Sure, no one wants war but how do you stop it? It takes more than five men. It takes a civilization dedicated to eternal values. One can always hope.
