Review of The German

The German (2008)
9/10
Exciting Short WW2 Film
14 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I caught this short film while exploring videos on Youtube. The CGI of the dogfight between the Messerschmitt Me 109 and Spitfire was phenomenal! Very exciting! Totally realistic! The battle continues on the ground as "the German" tries to escape into the woods after both planes are brought down, with the RAF fighter pilot in hot pursuit! Shots are exchanged between the two pilots and the British pilot captures the enemy. Tense moments follow as the German pleads for his life and the Brits blood begins to cool as he marches his prisoner to soldiers coming to his aid. But wait! The soldiers are troops of the Irish Free State! Whoops! We're in neutral Ireland! "Off to the Internment Camp with the both of you" (paraphrasing)! Didn't see that coming! Very clever climax to and exciting dogfight sequence! I saved it to my Youtube favorites, and if you WW2 film buffs, so will you!
