I love this film!! Forget all of these negative comments, almost every war film ever made has historical inaccuracies. And those films have paid military specialists and historians. My nephew is a filmmaker and I completely respect your comment "I worked with what I had". Everything in a film costs money. I appreciate your passion over your budget. That being said, I see so much more in this film then may have been intended. I don't see a story of two Americans chasing down a German, I see one American seeking revenge on the other. The German soldier is merely a tool for your main characters objective. Then things come full circle and he finds himself in a similar situation as described in your opening dialogue. Karma. Brilliant!
YES! spot on. I mean spot spot on. Thank you. That is exactly my story. You will notice my protagonists name is Carmanski (Karma). Thank you so very much.
Enjoyed it More than most overproduced and diluted 90 minute assembly line productions
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
I agree wholeheartedly
Thumbs up, sir.
Friendly fire killed thousands, it is a horrible fact of war. Nicely done, I was riveted to the end.
I can imagine how he shot his comrades even though it's an Friendly fire, I am crying and shaking
My sentiments exactly 😊👍
The two allied soldiers followed the wounded german soldier until they stopped and planned to ambush the german soldier at the barn. When his ally proceeded to the barn to kill the wounded german soldier, he thought his ally got killed by the wounded german soldier because of the gunshots inside the barn.. and then suddenly a man started shooting at him and hid and fired back at the mysterious man which he believed was the wounded german soldier, and so also believed his ally lost to the wounded german soldier.. but after he shot the mysterious man, everything got quiet. And so when someone was getting out of the barn, he saw his ally alive but badly injured and fell on the ground. And so when he was coming to get his ally back he then saw a german soldier behind his back and was shocked, but realizing the event that happended, he realized it was not a german soldier that was shooting at him but his ally instead, was trying to shoot at the german soldier behind his back while trying not to mistakenly shoot at him. This comment is actually for the people who didn't get the film.
I got it, it was a play on the first fatal shooting by the hedge at the edge of the field, a sort of wrap around to link the end with the beginning. A better story board than most.
Thanks for your detailed explanations.
Karl Ryan Erikson - what you have achieved in 9 mins and 48 seconds is nothing short of sheer brilliance. Others with much bigger budgets and resources have not been able to create this kind of magic in 2 hours. Bravo!
Thank you for watching and for the wonderful compliment!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the film
JAW DROPPING... in every way a film could and should be! The acting... The story... The cinematography... Etc. Well done, all!
Damn that's a crazy twist. For those that didn't understand, the guy who went into the barn saw a German with a knife sneaking up on his buddy and opened fire, and the other soldier thought he was a German and shot him. So the barn guy comes out and says "I got him" meaning he saved the dude's life, but he thinks it means the guy killed someone in the barn.
Great film, good acting, had me on the edge of my seat.
Thank you!
My father was in the 95th infantry B Co and was first Scout of his squad ( point man) Pattons third army , while pushing thru the French Lorraine the sarge ordered my father and another GI to clear(check for enemy) a small wooden building, It was mostly dark outside and dark inside the building, as soon as they entered the building my father heard a pop and his comrade fell against him and went down, when his helmet rolled off his brains and blood were running out.My father ran back and told the sarge that a sniper killed his comrade . A LT spoke up and told him that he had fired the shot into the building to flush out any possible enemy . They all agreed to write it down as death by sniper fire. To this day any later generations of the dead GI believe that he was killed by an enemy sniper . So , this short movie was an accurate possible scenario, I enjoyed it .
My dad was in the 94th. They pummeled through the Siegfried Line.
I am absolutely astonished by this story, I can't describe how much I am moved by the ending, I can't remember being so triggered at the end of a WW2 movie. I salute you for this amazing artwork!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Fantastic attention to detail, from the ill-fitting uniform and awkward clumsy and dishevelled appearance and movement of Nealson to the more self-controlled and disciplined Carmanski is a fantastic juxtaposition. The direction and acting are sublime, not to mention the camera crew and cinematographer. Your awards are well deserved. So glad I found this.
Thank you so much!
Excellent film. I didn't see that ending coming at all.
I saw it coming. You don't shoot at shadows in a building your Buddy just went into!
Wow, what a closing scene. I wonder how often situations like this have truely happened and how it must haunt the survivors.
Thanks for watching!!
Mate.. that moment will haunt him for the rest of his life, well done mate, i love the story, i love the dialogue, i love the atmosphere from the location to the sound as well, this is lit! 🔥
Thanks!!
Very real depiction of the confusion that probably occurs in most fire fights. Very artistic too.
The sad thing is, the ending does actually happen frequently in war. So frequently it drives men to kill themselves after they understand what just happened.
So very true, you should watch the film, Man Down, with Shia Lebouf if you haven't seen it...he did a hell of a job with the role...the film itself did a hell of a job portraying the horrors of war.
One German, seems to have foolishly left his gun leaning up against a fence. The gun is spotted. Nielson is sent to cover the left side of the barn while Kaminsky plans to fire at the barn and send anyone inside running out back so Nielson can pick them off. They make enough noise preparing that any German in the barn may already be tipped off. Kaminsky fires at the barn and at no-one in particular hoping to flush out the German he thinks is there. Nielson see no one come out and enters the barn and later spots and fires at the German from inside the barn, a German who is somewhere outside, probably circling around back in the other direction or even somewhere in the building behind Kaminsky, the gunshots sound distant. Now in fact the German may have appeared at the door behind Kaminsky, Neilson spots him and fires back in the direction of Kaminsky. Kamisky thinks that Nielson may be dead and the German is now firing at him from the barn. The German is rather planning to come from behind and kill Nielson armed with only a knife and then probably go after his gun which is still up against the fence. Neilson continues to fire in the direction of Kaminsky but at the German. Kaminsky thinks he is firing back at a German he sees in the barn but he is actually mistakenly firing at his buddy Nielson. Nielson shoots the German behind Kaminsky but he himself has been injured by Kaminsky. Nielson comes out and informs Kaminsky that he got the German then falls over dead. Kaminsky looks back and sees the German dead with his knife out and realized Nielson has saved him. I would wonder why Nielson didn't yell something out but perhaps he is so focused on the German and it happens so quickly he doesn't even realize he is being shot at by Kaminsky. Kaminsky is left to ponder that he also screwed up, didn't watch his back, didn't shut the door behind, didn't clear the room behind, allowed too much noise setting up and moving Nielson into position, gave a way position while trying to flush someone out who he didn't know was even there, din't identify his target, and in the end shot his only friend in a hostile warzone. It's the Fog of war is it not.
Thanks for watching!!
Omg thank you I was looking for a comment like this because I didn’t what had happened at the end
Thank-you, that is impressive astuteness. Now I'll watch again with better perception.
Why is this in my recommended after more than 2 years the video was released?
I am mad I didn't see this video earlier! It's a masterpiece!
The raw emotion was there and the stupid mistake of going after one German soldier, when they should have been avoiding any contact. A net gain of nothing.
This encapsulates the confusion of war really well.
The way he takes the helmet to put up it back in place as he’s wearing it wrong is just one of those incredible attentions to detail, love it.
Wow! I see why it won all those awards. Congrats to Karl and all his crew. Loved the story, writing, acting, the look, ...everything!
Thanks!!
Thats a heavy burden even for a soldier... Death of a friend because of your own fault... Nice picturization within few minutes...and Actors were also good... Keep it up 👍
Thanks you, and thanks for watching!!
Such happened a LOT more often than anyone knew. It was war.
This is amazing!!! The fact that they actually had to reload at some point unlike most other short films makes it even better
Excellent! I did not expect the ending.... the suspense in this film borders on an Alfred Hitchcock presentation! Just imagine the horror that GI felt when he realized he shot his own man! This short film does very well the pathos of war.
Thank you and thank you for watching!!
I don't think even any rookie in the 101st 'Screaming Eagles' would have been that jumpy or gone into direct combat without securing his helmet. Although this was their first action (D-Day onwards) they had serious preparation and training, and the first wave over there were the best of the best.
Just about every war film has a character like Nealson. Quick examples are Albert Blithe in BOB or Corporal Upham in SPR . It's what helps to build some tension. Besides theatrical films we also see and/or hear about this "jumpiness" in men in war documentaries and in interviews.
Holy fuck, that ending... It was incredible. I thought, that he might have shot his mate, but i didn't think of THAT ending. Great job, very impressive. Context of the beginning of the film makes it even more dramatic.
OH DAAAMN THAT ENDING TWIST!! That was amazing... both in a narrative and historical sense. Fantastic job!
WHOAH!!! The way this story unfolds at the ends...silence of you have perceived says it all!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong. Addle Strife-rough translation: the confusion of battle (fog of war). Makes perfect sense
Correct! Thanks for watching!
Nielson is always getting the short stick! Great portrayal of the incident of war and the sacrifices men took.
Thank you!
Awesome Film and wonderful actors! Go Carmanski (Randall). You were great!
This man deserves a lot more subs and views I'm a world war two nut and this film was outstanding.
That is a very nice thing to say, thank you! And thanks for watching.
Great short film! Immersive.
Only thing I can critique is anyone familiar with the rifles used at the time may have noticed the lack of a satisfying *ping* sound
Thanks for watching!!! Yes, the ping is definitely an oversight on my behalf.
This is the first short film I saw has a reload scene.
Band of Brothers: Battle of Bloody Gulch (defense of Carentan) D+7; Pvt. Albert Blythe reloads. Not a short film but if you love the M1 Garand, that's a great scene! BTW: anyone hear Carmanski's M1 clip ping?
Great movie. You can tell who the 'soldier' was. The guy with the slippery helmet really reminded me of Cpl Upham in Saving Private Ryan.
Right on. He was definitely an influence.
Good short story. The farm equipment was 40 years ahead of it's time. 😬 But nice twist.
How fast a miscommunication can go wrong
This was really well done. I love the "stay in formation" conversation, with the camera focusing back and forth between the subjects faces as the are talking. The acting was good, uniforms and makeup looked very real in tight-close shots, shots that normally reveal any inadequacies. I understand without an unlimited budget it's nearly impossible to wind up without modern horse trailers and grain silos in the background, and I can look past that. For me the only disappointment came after the M1 Garand rapid fired 8 rounds (twice) in succession, without hearing or seeing the enbloc being ejected along with the iconic and signature "ping" sound it makes. I've grown so accustomed to hearing it through movies like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, etc. that I find myself counting the rounds and waiting for the ping every time I see a clip of a US WW2 soldier firing an M1. Great job through, awesome bodycam work throughout!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the great comment. I cannot update RUclips videos, but i do have a version of the film on Vimeo with the pings. Again, thank you!
@@KarlRyanErikson You did such a good job on this, (watched it a few more times) I notice more details that collectively make this such a great film. Right from the opening scene, the leaves in the trees blowing in the wind and the way the camera takes you through the first 30 seconds.. well you nailed it. Usually it would have been handled with a series of 'talking head' , camera-1, camera-2 shots. I am certain that I am not alone in really hoping that you pursue some more WW2 films like this.
Hi Karl, I was impressed by your production - I was a film student (college) in the seventies where I learned the "mechanics" of making a movie - which gave me utmost respect for all the work involved (We had to rotate between all the main player roles of a film production). I thought that it was easy, it is not. Your short film touched me deeply - I am a Veteran, I have lived this confusion, the "fog of war" as it is called. Our greatest fear was "blue on blue", that is fratricide where in the confusion of combat you shoot/blast/torpedo one of your own... Thank you for this very moving work of art - may Peace be with you, keep on the great work... Ciao, L (Veteran, 3 wars)
I'm really glad this touched you. Though it is set in WW2 this film was inspired by my fathers experience during Vietnam (If I got this correct - He was Sp4, Co. A, 2nd Bn., 27th Inf. 65'-66') . In short, he said they rarely saw the enemy and would fire into the jungle until the jungle stopped firing back. That's some scary sh*t. If you notice with the cinematography, not only was my goal to start wide and push in as the men's fate grew nearer, but I also decided to never give the audience anymore information than what the men had. thank you for the nice comments and thank you for your service!
I did not know what the title meant, but when it was done all I could think of was fog of War. Well done
At least is was better than the hundreds of amateur movies that attempt to recreate saving private ryan .
Whoever made it , knew to stick to what he could use - 3 uniforms and a short plot and twist .
No silly graphics or partisans with nike runners
Thanks Oli. And that is pretty much what we did. Took an inventory of what we can get our hands on and made a small film. Thanks for checking it out.
Well , the only thing similar short films seem to get right is the age .
Band of Brothers and SPR had 30 and 35 year olds playing kids fresh out of school .
Its standard indoctrination not to show their real age .
I half watched one just before this where a "partisan" had skinny jeans and sneakers .
None of them will get any points for trying to re-create combat scenes , just for the sake of showing combat .
Its pointless unless theres a more powerful dimsension .
If your lacking in pyrotechnics and equipment , make up for it with content . Take Samuel Beckett for example . Best content you could hope for ...and in the French Resistance .
Or Frank Ryan ( I R A ) in the Spanish Civil war - no uniforms required .
"Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid .
And decked some fucking Black-shirt that was cursing all the Yids
--------------------------------------------------
Sickbed of CuChullainn (Pogues)
ruclips.net/video/FZIISfOm3dI/видео.html
McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed
There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands
When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid
And you decked some fucking blackshirt who was cursing all the Yids
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn, we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair
And in the Euston Tavern you screamed it was your shout
But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out
They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn, we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair
You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl?
There was lazy drunken bastards singing "Billy In The Bowl"
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church
Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "we'll have another round"
At the graveside of Cuchulainn, we'll kneel around and pray
And God is in His heaven, and Billy's down by the bay
All you need there are memories filmed in grainy B+W of un-uniformed fighting in Ireland and Spain . And at key points go back to his death bed (in colur) as hes slowly dying , remember the things that he did .
Very cheap / small cast / no props except rifles , old clothes , a pub , and a dimly lit room with a bed .
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity........Yeats .
Ye dont really need that much conviction . Theres situations where you can get away with shooting a scene with a mobile phone (cellphone) .
One problem with the amateur films is that perfect cameras betray bad camera work
It is an amazing film. Truly deserving of its award.
Another gem from these ' shorties ' . The thing to note is that the actors looked damn convincing , whether appearence wise or in their acting . And heart tugging as well .
However , the barn has that peacetime look...
Anyway , thumbs up for a SUPERB piece .
Thank you so much!
Great film but this should be 1944 not 43
True. I'm wondering why I put '43. I was originally staging this in Metz but even that is 1944. Not sure why I put this year. haha No one else caught it.
Good ending..confusion and chaos..the very definition of war!!there's nobody to blame but ourselves.
Thought it was an extended trailer, then it kept going & then ended...I was like I want more!!!
Just a short film. A glimpse into their experience. Thanks for watching!
Karl Erikson absolutely it was great, looking forward to more. New Randall was going places & clearly so are you.
Just to think of all the craziness of WW2 and the stories that were never told, and the heroes that never got credit for their unselfish acts of humanity and/or courageousness.
Communication is vital during war.
Here’s what happened at the end, the dude went inside the barn and he seen the German behind him and he started shooting at him and the guy that the German was about to kill thought that there was a German shooting at him and returned fire and hit the American in there and when he came out he fell on the ground and he died and when he turned around he seen the German that the dead guy shot.
Damn, I can't even imagine how this must actually feel...very well done, not gonna lie, it teared me up a little bit at the end.
Reminds me of the movie, Man Down with Shia LaBeouf, it showed how fractured a mind can become in dealing with the absolute horrors of war, very good film, Shia owned the role.
Thanks for watching!
Subtext Subtext Subtext!! What a powerful story. I was watching your other film Freeman Velocity, which is outstanding, and it took me here to this beautiful movie. There are some issues, but you seem to know what they are. And who cares? It's a small film with a big message. Congratulations. I love how you start off the film with the wide flowing scenes and slowly get tighter and tighter on your main actor and the camera gets shaky. Very claustrophobic feeling. Someone needs to get you a bigger budget and let you run with your talent.
Yes, subtext and claustrophobia for sure. Thanks for watching and thank you for appreciating the work that went into the film! And thank you so much for watching Freeman Velocity!! That was my college thesis film.
the idea is superb ..the filming is flawless ... the acting is realistic as possible
i wish you success .. i hope next time you go for something bigger
Thank you so very much!!! I'm glad you liked it
my pleasure
The viewer is drawn to dislike Nielsen until the very end when we get to see what he saw. Nice twist to the tale.
Thank you!!
Well well done. It doesn't matter what kind of arms they use or mistakes in the scenery may be. What makes this film great is the story, the actors and the director. Superb job. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!!
Magnificent! Beautiful in every way!
Humble Road thank you very much!
Pretty cool, several tactic/equipment inaccuracies, especially the non-ping from the enbloc clip after each 8th round, but not bad acting, and super cool ending twist. Don't enders and why he wouldn't just yell "you behind you with a knife", or "you dipshit, your shooting at me lol, but still very cool, reminded of something out of an old sgt. Rock, or G.I combat comic book.
Haha yeah he could have yell out.... but then I'd have no drama. Thanks for watching!
Thank u for making this, cool that someone still gives a shit about being a human.
Wow didn't see that coming... great job on the movie
This was a great short film amazing job can't wait to see the next💞
Joey Wesley thank you very much. Means a lot.
Very nice. Well worth the 9 minutes and the thumbs up.
Duglife thank you so much.
There were no US Airborne troops at France soil in 1943. They were dropped during D-Day on June 1944.
Shaharom Ahmad thank you. Major oversight on my end
Shaharom Ahmad thanks for watching
Very sad, when he accidenly saw the enemy dead behind him he found out he was shooting kill his friend who saved his life
I still have goosebumps. WOW, Great work!
That's the reaction we were hoping for! Thanks for watching
Interesting. Just a few things, paratroopers from WWII were very well trained and could tell the difference between a Mauser and an M1 shooting in his direction. But there’s also the fog of war so it’s feasible for that to happen.
Paratroopers are British mate
The US had one or two paratroop divisions in the war.
@@daepicreeves955 yes yes. ..but his point is valid. ..unless jerry had aquired an enemy's rifle as well.😒
His pog face at the end rlly got me
What a fantastic plot twist. I spotted air strikes with a laser in the Gulf War...the scariest thought was the thought of friendly fire. This plot twist hit me in the gut. Well done.
Damn good film I served 101st ABN and it was honorable to see a throwback and excellent story too. The uniforms and setting was amazing. Loved it. Can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much!!
I was looking for this film for 3 days! I am so happy I found it again!
MY FAVORITE SHORT!!!!
I'm glad you like it!! Thank you so much. I have a new film coming out shortly Disarray Days!
A very very good effort. Yes, there were no airborne troops in France in 1944. Yes, they should've had helmet nets. That being said, when you consider all the elements that are required to write, cast, produce, costume and direct even a short film, the accomplishment here is something to be proud of. Credit where it's due. And by the way Colton, I don't see anybody criticizing your spelling, buddy.
Riichard Scott thanks for checking out the film.
Where is the "PING" when m1 is empty.
I know I know I know haha Thanks for watching. A lot of people caught some errors and made some suggestions - RUclips doesn't allow me to update a video so the updated film is on vimeo.
Awesome film by an awesome film maker!
Amazing heart wrenching short movie. That's probably happened quite often in wars.
I'm glad you've won an award for it. Simply dynamic.
Thank you!!

I just realized that the guy that ran in the barn was shooting at the German behind his mate, and his mate killed him on mistake
Thanks for watching!
you get it right the man who ran on the barn fired on his mate direction because he save his mate from the german, but his mate keep firing on him until he killed his mate but later he realized his mistake tsktsktsk.
you got me shocked that means your film success
Thank you!!!
The greatest short fim i have ever watched. I kinda bit cried when i realized what happened but that what happens in a war somebody dies. I dont care about how others say how inaccurate or how stupid or what ever they say but for me this is the best.
Thank you so much for watching and the nice comment.
+Karl Ryan Erikson That's a subscribe to me.😄
+Karl Ryan Erikson and please make more i would really love that.
I'm trying!
Terrific short film! Love the costumes!
Thanks American Breakfast!!!
I love this film! Beautiful dramatic history!
loved every single second. of this film
Loved it! For a short film, it had such depth and emotion. I absolutely loved it, the score, the acting, the drama.... Great job!!
Thank you!!!
deserves a standing ovation. well done
101st Airborne the Screaming Eagles some of the greatest of the greatest generation.
So, taking this at face value, Carmanski believed the German was shooting at him from the barn, when in reality, Nealson was shooting the German who was *behind* Carmanski.
Exactly!! And there is so much more to this film as well. Hope you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching.
Wait so the American shot the other American in the barn because he thought he was a german but the American in the barn sniped the german coming behind the other American?
That's sad
This was interesting. No1 saw the end coming. Thats a good clip.
Jeez had to watch twice to understand what happen.. Nice clip
Thanks for watching!
Good film with a great twist in the story. Thank you.
As excited as I was for the end. I was sad at the same time. How moving.
Been to Normandy many times for the D-Day celebrations and love this sort of stuff. Great movie, great pace and fantastic ending! Made my heart bang! Keep it up!!
Thanks!! Addle Strife played in Carentan for the Normandii World War II International Film Festival!! It was a huge honor to be excepted.
Very clever. Has to watch the ending twice to get it. Good job.
Thank you! and thank you for taking the time to re-watch
No more accidents....I got him..... Great Film
I was processing wtf happened in the ending, and when it hit me i was
"FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK"
same
Damn...! Finally he was down by a friendly fire....! I didn't expect that end....!! :(
Thanks for watching!!
Karl Ryan Erikson I should thank you for giving this nice short film...!
Not to be a nerd or anything but your airborne flag on the guys arm is facing the wrong way and his standing up firing stance is bad
in WWII, the flag faced to the right, with the stars on the left side. so this is accurate
The more interesting question is why there's an invasion flag worn at all. Uniforms are M42 paratrooper with 101st Airborne division insignia but they are wearing invasion armbands on right arm. Only 101st Airborne operation in France was Operation Neptune; 1944. 327th and 401st GIR troopers are said by some (though I have never seen any proof) to have worn invasion flag armbands and they all wore standard infantry M43 outfits, not M42s.
Omg that is a really brilliant ending!
Forget the negative comments. this is MUCH better than some of the full length war movies I've seen and I've seen a LOT!!!!
James, thank you! and thanks for watching.
I loved it!! Great job to everyone involved.
