A harrowing chronicle of German soldiers navigating the brutal collapse of the Eastern Front and the psychological toll of encirclement.
A German Platoon is explored through the brutal fighting of the Battle of Stalingrad. After half of their number is wiped out and they're placed under the command of a sadistic captain, the platoon lieutenant leads his men to desert. The platoon members attempt escape from the city, now surrounded by the Soviet Army.
