Two films casting different light on the nature of war and comradeship. Vastfront:1918 is often viewed as the more accurate and daring cinematic treatment WW1 of it's time, detailing the degradations of the final months of the war on troops and families alike. Kameradschaft calls for unity between peoples in the face of disaster to bring an end to war,told through the story of French miners rescued by German fellow workers.
