About this movie

Based on the astonishing true story of a teenage German solider whose sadism would eventually earn him the nickname of the Executioner of Emsland. The Captain picks up two weeks before the end of the war. A petrified soldier, fleeing military police, finds a Nazi captain's uniform to wear and avoid execution. Thus disguised and high on the terrifying charisma of his clothing, he invents a secret mission from the Führer and embarks on a brutal odyssey of torture and slaughter. Directed by Robert Schwentke (The Time Travelers Wife, Flight Plan and Red).

Recall good film, the beginning has great cinematography too! There's a couple bloopers which may be considered as spoilers to here's your warning, 3 2 1 [SPOILER] The part where freytag(?) has to kill the soldier in the ditch is kinda funny. The explosion of the hall has a weird cut where the sound disappears and a couple continuity errors here and there. Nevertheless a great watch

Ja, das ist ein guter Film. It's uncomfortable to watch people turned into sadists but I'd imagine that's what war does to people.
