I tried so hard to watch this film as love anything WWII themed but gave up three quarters of the way through. I think there is a glimmer of a good film trying to get out. It let down on the whole by an incoherent story and terrible acting by all concerned. I am no military expert but all the equipment looked accurate and the effects OK (the CGI planes were rubbish) and the battle scenes (they aren't many) quite well done. I love horror films too there have been one or two great movies with WWII and horror combined. However let down by confusing story and but most of all rubbish acting. The story as it is: a group of German soldiers (including some good Germans and some bad Nazis - mostly with English accents) agree to accompany a Professor looking for something (never found out what) in what appears to be a haunted Romanian wood. What ensues is a lot of good v bad German stuff, some ghostly children, people turning to ash and other weird stuff. Most spooky of all was the acting.
