as a soldier myself, in duty of the swiss army, the first thing that seemed strange to me was the inaccuracy of the soldiers behaviour. e.g. only one guy checks out the house and so on. but that concerns me with every war movie since my service :-)
it's not really what bothers me the most. could it be, that such a high-rated movie could not afford actors who are actually capable of speaking German properly?? actually, they should all be real German actors. it seemed rather awkward to me, hearing those "German" soldiers speaking an odd dialect or even a broken version of German which i've never heard before. clearly, they're Americans trying to speak German. I'm aware that it may not be recognized by English people who watch it. however, it really started to annoy me and i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels that way.
good story though.
