Quote:If you like "All Quiet on the Western Front" from 1930 then you should watch Westfront 1918 (from1930). This is the German answer to that movie. The story is similar but the result much bleaker. Personally i found the the final scene were the commanding officer goes crazy more compelling then the final scene of quiet on the western front. Als, the battle scene's are IMHO better and they use tanks in this one.
You might also like Duouamont: the hel from Verdun (German movie from 1931) and Verdun Vision L' Histoire (french movie from 1928). Another interesting one is the 1916 British propaganda movie "The battle of the Somme" by Geoffrey Malins and John McDowell.
Thanks for those, Jeroen, and my apologies for not replying sooner. I will put all of those on my To Be Watched list!
