"A symbolic depiction of hell on Earth, set in the last days of the
Warsaw uprising in 1944. Lieutenant Zadra is commanding a company of 43
men in a desperate battle amidst the ruins. Facing German offense and
cut off from their comrades, Zadra is commanded to retreat his men
through the sewer system ('kanal'). Zadra and his men are reluctant to
do so, as it would indicate that they have lost the battle, but decide
to obey the orders. However, as the men (and women) retreat, it becomes
clear that their desperate attempt to flee from the hell of battle will
result only in more death and suffering." This is the first film to depict the Warsaw Uprising and is an amazing flick and a must for any historian. Give it watch below and see what you think.
A great flick,
Brian
