In post-World War II Denmark, the Danish government puts their hated German prisoners of war to work clearing the 1.5 million landmines from the western beaches of the country. At one such beach, Sgt. Carl Leopold Rasmussen finds himself in charge of one such labor unit and finds they are largely all inexperienced boys.
Technical issues. I am now watching the Beekeeper

I just finished the Pacific. It’s grand but it isn’t as good as band of brothers.
The bit on the train when Snafu doesn’t say good bye to sledge is brilliant.
I see they didn’t talk for 35 years but sledge carried snafus coffin.
Very different times.
The fighting on the pacific was absolutely horrific. Very grim.
