Dresden

Ich habe den Fernsehfilm "Dresden" schon lange gesehen. Ich mochte es sehr. Es war ein Drama über das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, als Dresden schwer bombardiert wurde. Das Schauspiel war sehr gut. Es gab 4 Hauptdarsteller: 1 deutscher Mann, 2 sehr schöne deutsche Schauspielerinnen und einen englischen Piloten, der deutsch spricht.

Der Film ist ein Dokudrama.

This is an excellent docu-drama about the firebombing of Dresden at the end of World War II. It shows that in war people are people, and even the supposedly heartless Germans can show compassion. The event that sparks the main action is when an English fighter pilot, who speaks German in the movie and in real life, played by John Light, gets shot down over Dresden and finds his way to a hospital because he is badly injured. There a German nurse treats him surreptitiously. She herself would have become a doctor, but had to become a nurse because of the war. Her father is a doctor who runs the hospital. She has a very attractive sister who is not a medical person, and she is friends with some German soldiers (which shows that side of the war). Her boyfriend is a doctor. At times we see the conflicts between the heartlessness of Nazism and their compassion as medical professionals.

Of course she and the pilot fall in love, Dresden is firebombed, but they escape to England, and hopefully live happily ever after.
