Hello gentlemen.
Just a hint to a great film many of our US friends perhaps dont know of..
The movie: Under sandet ( Danish )
Land of Mine ( English )
Unter dem Sand ( German )
Land of Mine (Danish: Under sandet, lit. 'Under the Sand') is a 2015 Danish-German historical drama war film directed by Martin Zandvliet. It was shown in the Platform section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. It was selected and nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 89th Academy Awards. The film is inspired by real events and tells the story of German prisoners of war sent to clear land mines in Denmark after World War II. It is estimated that over 2,000 German soldiers, including numerous teenagers, were forced, against the regulations of the Geneva Conventions, to remove mines, with nearly half of them either getting killed or losing their limbs to explosions.
A really tough and moving film that shows what a lot of the HJ boys etc. Was used for after the end of the war..
my warmest recommendations on this movie.
