Death on the Eastern Front / Sterben an der Ostfront

The end of World War II. The civilian population falls between the fronts and is left helplessly at the mercy of both the Soviet army, filled with hatred and revenge, and of the German leadership so incapable of protecting its own people. Based on the book by Antony Beevor, director Sven Ihden investigates the mental state of two armies and the consequent dramatic effects on the civilian population.
