The feeling of survival in the gap between great powers
Jessyca 2022-04-22 07:01:54
The first time I saw this type of film, Estonia survived in the cracks of great powers. I checked an area of more than 40,000 square kilometers with 1.3 million people. The traditional concept of the Red Army is to defeat the Nazis to liberate other countries, but here is the opposite, anti-Soviet means fighting for independence. The film is divided into two parts, shot from the perspectives of the German army and the Soviet army respectively. Most of the people who fought in different uniforms were Estonian natives. German officials came to inspect and distribute Hitler photos. It's too hard, but you don't have to worry about being liquidated if you don't say long live Hitler. The Soviet side of the victor will kill all those who betray the Soviet regime, even if it's just teenagers wearing German uniforms. It is obvious that Estonians feel differently about the two sides.
