I haven't fact checked the story. It is a really well screwed together film. Good direction and acting. A tale of blue on blue atrocities committed by a hapless come evil young German and the band he accumulates along the way, in the days before the end of war in Europe. There's always something happening in it and I was genuinely shocked and moved by some of the scenes. Not your typical WWII film. Well worth a watch.

Brilliant fact based film enjoyable start to finish recommend if you don't mind subtitles.
