2 questions
Directed by: Joseph Vilsmaier
Starring: Thomas Kretschmann, Dana Vavrova, Dominique Horwitz, Jochen Nickel, Sebastian Rudolph
Factual error: The Germans encounter three enemy tanks, all Russian T-34/85 models that were introduced in mid-1944. Additionally, they shoot at the tanks with an anti-tank gun which is painted sand colour. This colour was not introduced until Feb 1943.
Otto: You know we don't stand a chance. Why not surrender?
Capt. Hermann Musk: You know what would happen if we do.
Otto: Do we deserve any better?
Capt. Hermann Musk: Otto, I'm not a Nazi.
Otto: No, you're worse. Lousy officers. You went along with it all, even though you knew who was in charge. Hermann.
Trivia: German actor Thomas Kretschmann was also in the Russian production "Stalingrad", released in 2013.
