So, 'Widerstanden, überlebt' is this intriguing documentary that digs deep into the minds and lives of a handful of Wehrmacht deserters from WWII. The pacing feels very human, almost like you're sitting down for those lengthy chats with these guys, who share their experiences and regrets. It’s quite raw, with the interviews mostly uncut, which makes their stories hit harder. The film intersperses these narratives with original footage from that dark time, which really adds to the atmosphere. There's a real mix of emotions here – guilt, defiance, and the complexities of survival. It’s not just about war; it’s about the choices people had to make and what it meant to resist in such a brutal era.
