A miniseries I watched on eastgerman TV, just before I moved to canada. This movie does not deserve to be forgotten ! It has so much to say about human preserverance under the most adverse conditions. The messages of the movie are universal, if you can look beyond some of the old GDR propaganda scenes, that seem to be inserted by the wish of some upper echolon party officials. Other than that, this movie was a very entertaining thrillride. The producers painstakingly reconstructed the period, and some of the old german language being used (latin expressions of the upper classes). It felt like reading a historybook, where the reader is taken to the live events.
