Damit es weitergeht

About This Movie

‘Damit es weitergeht’ is a fascinating documentary from 1970 that dives into the minds of German soldiers during one of history’s most intense battles. You really feel the weight of their fear and the moral complexities they grapple with. The pacing is contemplative, letting each soldier's story unfold thoughtfully, revealing layers of guilt and re-evaluated perceptions of the enemy. It's not flashy—no elaborate set pieces or dramatizations here—but the raw, candid interviews create an atmosphere that's hauntingly intimate. That honest reflection on wartime experience is what sets it apart, making it a unique viewing for anyone interested in the psychological impacts of war.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, often overshadowed by more mainstream war documentaries. Its limited circulation and unique perspective on the Battle of Stalingrad make it a collector's item for those interested in the human aspects of wartime narratives. Various formats exist, but the original release remains the most sought after. Given its historical context and introspective theme, it attracts a niche audience among collectors.
