My great grandpa was in ww2 and he was helped by a Italian family and he later married the daughter and she is alive in Britain to this day he passed away 1month after my birth
@@RebelStudios-em2nu No, regardless of what he did. They would have died all the same sadly. He protected them at least by lying about where the British went.
When I saw the Italian man and his daughter shot it hit me like a rock. He died to let two strangers he just meet escape the Nazis. Respect to him 100% From. America
MrXYZJ they lost the war because they used up of all of their resources and Hitler got cocky by trying to invade both Britain and Russia at the same time - fighting on 2 different fronts is very dangerous and Germany should of been aware of that because of the First World War - it was even more dangerous because USA were getting involved
Great short film ! My Dad was a Partisan in north west Italy in WW2 . He told me a story about an American fighter pilot who bellied in when his P-47 was shot down in October 1944 . He made it back to his lines in February 1945 with the help of Italian citizens and the Partisans . I found out who the pilot was in 2006 and contacted him .He was grateful of a particular family you kept him hidden in Tosca Italy .
This brought a tear to my eye! My dad fought in north africa he was captured and sent to a POW camp in Italy. He too escaped after the armistice and was taken in by an Italian family and stayed with them until the allies liberated the area. He often said he wanted to go back to Italy and find those who saved him from the Germans, unfortunately he never did and passed away in 2002. I always thought it would make a good film so you can imagine my joy when I came across this! Outstanding work by everyone involved, thank you for making this it deserves to be a full movie

@victor I asked him! He says that 1940-1945 time-line is far worse than most people now can imagine, he says people are complaining too much nowadays and that people who'd live their whole entire lives without war shouldn't have an opinion about someone fleeing for their life, he says that they are lucky to be able to flee because in ww2 in holland there where a lot of nsb'ers (snitches) who'd get paid food by the germans if they point out a location where jews where staying. Not only the jews where killed but also the house owners with their family, he told me that one time 2 jews where killed by letting their own daughter shoot her own father and mother in the back, after that happend he joined the resistance and burned 2 oil tankers and exploded a train rail transporting jews to camp westerbork, as punishment for that the germans executed around 200 men older than 16.

This is the best ww2 short film I have ever seen on youtube! For 4 years since I began watching these films this one is still on #1! Fantastic job to everyone who is part of the making of this movie!
I cannot believe this is the work of just students, and that too with limited amount of resources and funding. This is one of the most beautifully done and directed short movie on the struggles of people behind enemy lines during WWII, I've ever seen. I wish I could, in-person congratulate and appreciate every person who has contributed to making this movie.
My grandpa was 11 during the war and my grandma 5, before they would get married, 18 years later. The 2 families shared a radio together to tune into the dutch queen's radio transmissions to stay strong, they both played outside and on liberation day they shared candies the soldiers handed out. Its a small world we live in :)
My grandfather was in the Netherlands shortly after they were liberated. He made friends with a Dutch cobbler who made my mother, who was a baby at the time, her first pair of shoes. Heartfelt greetings from England.
I am half Italian and I am Jewish, god bless every single life lost, I am very glad I came upon this film as I am very interested in ww 2 my relatives and to pray for those who fought and those who were murdered at this time ❤️🙏🏼
My grandfather went to Normandy, then he want South of Italy going up to Germany. He saw some Italians helping these men before they gave them weapons and clothing. He was a kind man and tried to do everything he can. He never killed anyone, his confirmed kills are 0. 1921-2014
Thank you to the crew to let the people know these stories. All MUST remember what happened to avoid to repeat same mistakes. ALL of us. In EVERY gesture we do. ALL days. Grazie ancora, da un Italiano.
My great grandpa was a tank platoon leader in WW2. He defended Odessa, Ukraine when the Germans where attacking. He served until the siege of Berlin and got awarded the red star for his contribution.
I remember those days my great grandfather told me all about him getting saved he died at the age of 96 due to a disease i salute him he will always be in my heart
My great-grandfather fought on the eastern front for 3 years. He survived and told the story to my mom. This almost made me cry but made me feel sad. Too many people died protecting us. May they rest in peace
Those Italians are just too nice. I think that war really made them see the value of other people which was shown through their hospitality towards the prisoners. Edit: damn it was sad when they died. I did not see that coming.
It’s so sad that they have to die they are just nice people germans where greedy for land but Why you have to kill a wonderful little girl and a lifeless farmer it so sad
@@flushy6575 I Tedeschi pensavano che tutti gli italiani fossero vigliacchi e traditori . L'esercito italiano in guerra non è sempre stato efficiente e vittorioso, ma presi singolarmente sono soldati coraggiosi e tenaci come tutti gli altri.
My grandpa was a second lieutenant military police for Britain and he served in this war and is still alive today Edit: He unfortunately passed away today this morning, he shall be remembered. Died 11th June 2021
My Grandfather was a POW captured by the German army and there were so many good people who, fed him and helped him along the way. Beautiful film! Wonderful acting and story telling. Please keep making films we need more filmmakers like you!!!!
Both my grandparents fought in the war. One was at Normandy and the other was in the Navy. Im so proud of both of them. Long live the greatest generation
My grandfather stormed Juno Beach with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. Thank you for your service and your great sense of humor. He died in 2010. Rest in peace.
What a beautiful film... love, and mercy. Hate and war. Stand, and know the truth or be told lies.. the saviors of the 2 world war - thank you. My grandfather would have thank you dearly.
The highlight of this short film was the grace, warmth and expectant passion between Ernesto and Alexandra as they said their final farewells. You sensed how Alexandra was a good, loyal, homely farmer's daughter who had a life ahead of her as a wonderful mother. This illusion, however, was soon to be shattered by the arrival of a German Hauptman and two soldiers hunting for 2 escaped British soldiers. Ernesto and Marco had forgotten to hide their uniforms, which were discovered, and led to the cold, summary executions of the very kind farmer and his dearly beloved daughter, Alexandra.
What an emotional ending!! I wonder if people would be so selfless and kind now like that man and his daughter? I’d like to hope so. Brilliant acting especially by Scott Rutherford!! I’d Love to see a part 2 to this.
Two of my grandfathers fought on the eastern front, one was a tank mechanic, the other reached Berlin, returned from the war alive. My city where I live was defended for 73 days. This is more days than France and other European countries surrendered.
To be honest bro most people are saying their grandfather was in World War Two but my grandpa was born in 1937 and was only 2 years old at the begging of the war and 8 at the end of it.He is still alive today at the age of 83 and still tells me stories that he remembers.
Personally, I am Italian and Polish. Having some of my family members talk about them taking this risk to save Allied Forces Military Officers, I am very happy that they would be so kind. They helped British and American Officers. Also, My great grandfather was a child in Poland at the time of WWII, he said “Most children above 10 were fighting with even rocks and sticks.” My family in Poland helped Russian soldiers and other allied forces officers that were fighting in the Eastern Front. WWII was extremely dangerous and sad. We should all be grateful we aren’t in this time-period.
I really enjoyed it and the guy who played harry (Scott Rutherford) is actually my friend from school. The ending was abit disappointing and was left on a cliff hanger but none the less it was great.
Yip Scott has been through a war himself in life with heart transplants in and out of hospital he's spread inspiring stories about how important organ donations are and he surprised us all with this wonderful news about staring in a short wwll film. He was phenomenal in it as the rest of the actors. I liked him and the guy that took them in. Just wish we got to see the Germans get killed for killing that poor guy and his daughter. Please make a part 2. We would like to see if they both got to Switzerland. I think that's where they are headed.
Random video Guy 93 that’s actually how I met Scott, I made a documentary about his heart transplant! He’s the most inspirational guy I know and I cast him as Harry long before I wrote the script
I'm Italian and i live in Italy. Just yesterday me and my grandmother were talking about the time of WW2 in Italy. At that time she was a child, but she remembers very well that her family many times helped italian partisans offering them foods and places in their home where they could rest and sleep. One day while her family (that are of course mine relatives) were hosting two partisans, nazists came searching for them. Fortunately they succeeded in hiding the two partisans men inside the barn, where they were laying down under a layer of hay on the first floor. Just imagine what could have happened if nazists would had found what her family were doing... all of them would have been instantly shot for helping "enemies of the nations". I will be always proud of my relatives, that risked their life to save people that were fighting from the inside in order to rebel and go against the Nazi-fascist oppressive regime, carrying the unceasing hope of a free Italy.
We should thank all people who helped others during WW2 and remember people like the farmers who helped the escaped and the wounded and ended up giving their lives for them
As soon as they took off the uniforms I was thinking burn them. A very good short film which had a cruel ending. God bless all those brave farmers and their families who helped those allied prisoners, so courageous.😥
People who risked their lives to save people like Jews and other minorities to the Germans should get an award, unfortunately most of those people lost their lives saving said people
A lot of my relatives were Italian partisans, fortunately they are not dead in action, they destroyed the tracks of the concentration camps trains and liberate the prisoners. We must remember they forever and remember also all of the people that fighted to liberate us. Honour to these people!
This reminds me of my grandparents. Old individual farmers (from any country, really) were some real badasses, they were incredibly strong and tough, but also incredibly kind and selfless. They would help others despite not having much themselves, because they cared about other people and lived simply. And they always did the right thing, even in situations like this. And they always got up super early like this man lol
My great grandfather fought in ww1 in Eypres and got mustard gassed which badly damaged his lungs he also broke his back, he was a pretty strong man. He tried to sign up when the second World War broke out and cried when he was told he couldn't. I wish I could've met him.
Great job Zak! So often it is forgotten that there were people all over Nazi occupied Europe that helped many Allied militants, and this was not only a great reminder, but also a fantastic view into the fellowship and hardship that both parties faced. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I do have one minor gripe. I had a hard time hearing the voices with volume at a normal level, and therefore everything else (music, other noises) was incredibly loud. I've never worked in/with film, so I'm not sure if it was the microphones or after edits, but I do hope this can help you with your future endeavours.
An amazing film. It completely blew me away. It is reassuring to know that young talented directors are carrying the flame. Thank you for this masterpiece and good luck!
@@zakjarvis8998 If you fancy a giggle, please watch Wartime, World War II in Europe. It was posted yesterday and made me laugh very much. What I love about your offering is that it is both personal and relevant. It deals with real people. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. He was an intelligent and sensitive person. He would have loved your film and found the "rockyisation" of an event which cost millions of lives distasteful to the extreme. Wars are not a game. They actually destroy people. You were on a budget, granted. But you were good, accurate and real. Please ignore the negativity (e.g. "The uniforms should have been hidden"). That is precisely what makes the richness of your film. You were aware that you were dealing with people who were not born soldiers and were just trying to help. Take pride, Zak, in being a sensitive human being. Again, well done!
Amazing work on this short !!!! Bravo !!! Well played, well filmed , very sad story....war is the apotheosis of mankind stupidity, brutality...! All the worst in human comes with war but also , all the greatness in the power of love , friendship , courage, bravery, strength, beauty ! Too bad that the dark side is so prevalent in these times . I can’t believe that today , some people, in some countries have to face this terrible reality ! We can thank God , we in safe countries to not have to endure these barbaric reality ! God bless you all !!!
My grand dads cousin was a a prisoner in italy and everything in this video was simallar to his story he went to them in 1967 and founded them they recognized his actsent and huged him fortninetaly the house that they lived wasnt destroied in the war and he lived by them for the rest of his life he died in 1995 at end of the croatian war of independence that my father was in it check the videos about it
What are you even saying of course he deserves that for lying? He got his chance to tell them everything and he did not so they had to shoot him and his daughter.
This one broke my heart. I was expecting a happy ending...I needed that. What a marvellous love story was lost here...I guess that happened lots of times during the war. Impossible to imagine the pain of a veteran coming back to his saviours and finding out they were killed for helping him...
@@chillaxo9863 Modern Germans are wonderful people, I'd even go so far as to say most Germans during ww2 were wonderful people, just most of them were dicks.
@@hans-martinlinzer8056 Yep :) That's pretty much what my comment was saying, because plenty of the jews were neighbors and friends, of course they'd try to protect them.
I like the beginning where they are in the train being sent which was true but the majority of the time they were crammed in the train till the point where it was hard to breathe but either way this film is pretty good keep up the good work :)
The bishops, priests, monks, friars and nuns, but also simple men and women, Italian Catholics have done the same! They did it also because Pope Pius XII asked them to give help to anyone (Jewish or not) who fled or was wanted by the Nazi-Fascists! Many of them have paid for these acts of love towards their neighbor with their lives, they are "martyrs of charity"! 👍🏻😉
Οι Ιταλοί στρατιώτες αναγκάστηκαν να πολεμήσουν με τους Ναζί Γερμανούς, αλλιώς θα είχαν πυροβολήσει αυτούς και τις οικογένειές τους.

This is one of the most beautifully done and directed short movie on the struggles of people behind enemy lines during WWII, I've ever seen. I wish I could, in-person congratulate and appreciate every person who has contributed to making this movie.
Adarshjit Das thank you for your kind works Adarshjit, it means alot
I agree. Unbelievably well done. Thank you!!!
My grandpa was 11 during the war and my grandma 5, before they would get married, 18 years later. The 2 families shared a radio together to tune into the dutch queen's radio transmissions to stay strong, they both played outside and on liberation day they shared candies the soldiers handed out. Its a small world we live in :)
My grandfather was in the Netherlands shortly after they were liberated. He made friends with a Dutch cobbler who made my mother, who was a baby at the time, her first pair of shoes. Heartfelt greetings from England.
I am half Italian and I am Jewish, god bless every single life lost, I am very glad I came upon this film as I am very interested in ww 2 my relatives and to pray for those who fought and those who were murdered at this time ❤️🙏🏼
My grandfather went to Normandy, then he want South of Italy going up to Germany. He saw some Italians helping these men before they gave them weapons and clothing. He was a kind man and tried to do everything he can. He never killed anyone, his confirmed kills are 0. 1921-2014
He fought for Germany right,god bless him
Tbf tho if never killed anyone his confirmed kills is hardly going to be 6 is it? 😂
Thank you to the crew to let the people know these stories. All MUST remember what happened to avoid to repeat same mistakes.
ALL of us.
In EVERY gesture we do.
ALL days.
Grazie ancora, da un Italiano.
My great grandpa was a tank platoon leader in WW2. He defended Odessa, Ukraine when the Germans where attacking. He served until the siege of Berlin and got awarded the red star for his contribution.
hero
Wow.. Truly heartbreaking. People risked their lives to help the allied prisoners, may they rest in peace for eternity.
Archetype what’s very sad is the thousands and thousands of stories just like this one lost, forgotten, never to be recovered
Crazy Crocodile War is cruel.
@@arche8229 in war won only the Rich family , we re human
@@arche8229 But necessary... sadly.
I remember those days my great grandfather told me all about him getting saved he died at the age of 96 due to a disease i salute him he will always be in my heart
Who did he get saved by?
My great-grandfather fought on the eastern front for 3 years. He survived and told the story to my mom. This almost made me cry but made me feel sad. Too many people died protecting us. May they rest in peace
Those Italians are just too nice. I think that war really made them see the value of other people which was shown through their hospitality towards the prisoners.
Edit: damn it was sad when they died. I did not see that coming.
Then what do you think the thumbnail was?
CS Berserk Summer vacation
It’s so sad that they have to die they are just nice people germans where greedy for land but Why you have to kill a wonderful little girl and a lifeless farmer it so sad
@@flushy6575
I Tedeschi pensavano che tutti gli italiani fossero vigliacchi e traditori .
L'esercito italiano in guerra non è sempre stato efficiente e vittorioso, ma presi singolarmente sono soldati coraggiosi e tenaci come tutti gli altri.
My grandpa was a second lieutenant military police for Britain and he served in this war and is still alive today
Edit: He unfortunately passed away today this morning, he shall be remembered. Died 11th June 2021
Your very lucky to have him still alive.
God bless him and protect him my friend
Bless him
make sure he never feels alone and take your time to learn from him
Almost everyone who fought in ww2 n survived are now dead theres probably 10 people in the world left from ww2...ur very lucky if hes still alive
Heroes everywhere in the world!!!!Lovely film!
So well done house and clothing are authentic and like the idea of the use of different languages.
My Grandfather was a POW captured by the German army and there were so many good people who, fed him and helped him along the way.
Beautiful film! Wonderful acting and story telling. Please keep making films we need more filmmakers like you!!!!
Both my grandparents fought in the war. One was at Normandy and the other was in the Navy. Im so proud of both of them. Long live the greatest generation
Best world war short film I’ve seen so far! Good Work!
Stroke 357, the WW1 short film “The End of War” is pretty good, it’s hard to decide which of the two is better.
My grandfather stormed Juno Beach with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. Thank you for your service and your great sense of humor. He died in 2010. Rest in peace.
What a beautiful film... love, and mercy. Hate and war. Stand, and know the truth or be told lies.. the saviors of the 2 world war - thank you. My grandfather would have thank you dearly.
Thoroughly enjoyed that, well done Scott, kerry and everyone else. Did not want it to end!
The highlight of this short film was the grace, warmth and expectant passion between Ernesto and Alexandra as they said their final farewells. You sensed how Alexandra was a good, loyal, homely farmer's daughter who had a life ahead of her as a wonderful mother. This illusion, however, was soon to be shattered by the arrival of a German Hauptman and two soldiers hunting for 2 escaped British soldiers. Ernesto and Marco had forgotten to hide their uniforms, which were discovered, and led to the cold, summary executions of the very kind farmer and his dearly beloved daughter, Alexandra.
I am Italian, and I am very proud of it. I cry. Great job! Continuate così, per piacere, fatene altri!
Anche io

What an emotional ending!! I wonder if people would be so selfless and kind now like that man and his daughter? I’d like to hope so. Brilliant acting especially by Scott Rutherford!! I’d Love to see a part 2 to this.
Thank you.
Two of my grandfathers fought on the eastern front, one was a tank mechanic, the other reached Berlin, returned from the war alive. My city where I live was defended for 73 days. This is more days than France and other European countries surrendered.
My great grandad was in this war luckily he survived and still lives
He is 93🙏🙏🙏
Strong man 🗣 covid 19 aint shit to him
Wow great. God bless from india.
A true veteran
Give my thanks to your grandfather
Greetings from Netherland
I hope that this video gets more than a million likes...

To be honest bro most people are saying their grandfather was in World War Two but my grandpa was born in 1937 and was only 2 years old at the begging of the war and 8 at the end of it.He is still alive today at the age of 83 and still tells me stories that he remembers.
This is an amazing short film that deserves more recognition, if possible I’d love to see more like it
Personally, I am Italian and Polish.
Having some of my family members talk about them taking this risk to save Allied Forces Military Officers, I am very happy that they would be so kind. They helped British and American Officers. Also,
My great grandfather was a child in Poland at the time of WWII, he said “Most children above 10 were fighting with even rocks and sticks.”
My family in Poland helped Russian soldiers and other allied forces officers that were fighting in the Eastern Front.
WWII was extremely dangerous and sad.
We should all be grateful we aren’t in this time-period.
after 3 years this legend is still hearting comments. impressive
Already 200,000 views this is growing really fast, week ago this only had 5000 views
Yeah, RUclips just now decided to give it to people. Glad it did.
Lol
Lollipop Lenny has it on repeat sooooooooo..
1 mil now
I really enjoyed it and the guy who played harry (Scott Rutherford) is actually my friend from school. The ending was abit disappointing and was left on a cliff hanger but none the less it was great.
Random video Guy 93 Really.
Yip Scott has been through a war himself in life with heart transplants in and out of hospital he's spread inspiring stories about how important organ donations are and he surprised us all with this wonderful news about staring in a short wwll film. He was phenomenal in it as the rest of the actors. I liked him and the guy that took them in. Just wish we got to see the Germans get killed for killing that poor guy and his daughter. Please make a part 2. We would like to see if they both got to Switzerland. I think that's where they are headed.
Random video Guy 93 that’s actually how I met Scott, I made a documentary about his heart transplant! He’s the most inspirational guy I know and I cast him as Harry long before I wrote the script
I'm Italian and i live in Italy. Just yesterday me and my grandmother were talking about the time of WW2 in Italy. At that time she was a child, but she remembers very well that her family many times helped italian partisans offering them foods and places in their home where they could rest and sleep.
One day while her family (that are of course mine relatives) were hosting two partisans, nazists came searching for them. Fortunately they succeeded in hiding the two partisans men inside the barn, where they were laying down under a layer of hay on the first floor.
Just imagine what could have happened if nazists would had found what her family were doing... all of them would have been instantly shot for helping "enemies of the nations". I will be always proud of my relatives, that risked their life to save people that were fighting from the inside in order to rebel and go against the Nazi-fascist oppressive regime, carrying the unceasing hope of a free Italy.
We should thank all people who helped others during WW2 and remember people like the farmers who helped the escaped and the wounded and ended up giving their lives for them
Awesome story. Its a sad one but so true. Loved the music also, especially on the closing credits. Keep making great films like this!
What an amazing short film you did very well making this Zak Jarvis
One of my family died in El-Alamein for save 2 other soldier. R.I.P
My grand dad was an officer in El-Alamein he was in the 8th army wich one was yours in? Also sorry for your loss
My grandfather was in Korea and his older brothers were in the pacific theater of ww2
Well, he was an Italian Camicia nera (It's the name of the division)
Doesn't make you guys special who cares omg
@@youtubesucks9595 bro respect those people, they fighted till they died.
This is on of the best “fan films” i have everseen, right next to 1 grit origin story
As soon as they took off the uniforms I was thinking burn them. A very good short film which had a cruel ending. God bless all those brave farmers and their families who helped those allied prisoners, so courageous.😥
Who ever helped the Americans or other good people, should get a reward for everything they did to help the alies
"Americans or other good people"
@@niccolopaganini4268 "aMeRiCanS aNd oThEr goOD peOplE"
Because the allies did nothing wrong mhm
People who risked their lives to save people like Jews and other minorities to the Germans should get an award, unfortunately most of those people lost their lives saving said people
@@thenorthwestpassage2880 that was mainly soviets
A lot of my relatives were Italian partisans, fortunately they are not dead in action, they destroyed the tracks of the concentration camps trains and liberate the prisoners. We must remember they forever and remember also all of the people that fighted to liberate us. Honour to these people!
E pensare che oggi iniziano anche a negare il contributo della guerra partigiana in Italia dal '43 al '45... folle!
This reminds me of my grandparents. Old individual farmers (from any country, really) were some real badasses, they were incredibly strong and tough, but also incredibly kind and selfless. They would help others despite not having much themselves, because they cared about other people and lived simply. And they always did the right thing, even in situations like this. And they always got up super early like this man lol
I have heard there is a two hour adaption film coming, and omg I can't wait, I must of watched this about 50 times
Earned a sub. Also these Italians were true heroes!
They are all true and documented stories.
I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said about this film. It packed so much into its 21 minutes.
My great grandfather fought in ww1 in Eypres and got mustard gassed which badly damaged his lungs he also broke his back, he was a pretty strong man. He tried to sign up when the second World War broke out and cried when he was told he couldn't. I wish I could've met him.
He apparently also said if Hitler won the war he would of shot everyone in the family to save us from a life of misery, bit scary that lol
The Italians where heroes and to hear a lot of the m put their lives at risk and even died for us Brit’s is a heartbreaking story.
Esatto.
They are all true stories.
The old man’s cry left me emotional.. I feel so bad for them. It’s what he had all left.
Great job Zak! So often it is forgotten that there were people all over Nazi occupied Europe that helped many Allied militants, and this was not only a great reminder, but also a fantastic view into the fellowship and hardship that both parties faced. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
I do have one minor gripe. I had a hard time hearing the voices with volume at a normal level, and therefore everything else (music, other noises) was incredibly loud. I've never worked in/with film, so I'm not sure if it was the microphones or after edits, but I do hope this can help you with your future endeavours.
This should become a full movie!
Jak Johnson working on it!
Zak Jarvis how far are you now?
Master Oogway since the short film there was a pandemic which certainly hindered it
Zak Jarvis omggg thank you
An amazing film. It completely blew me away. It is reassuring to know that young talented directors are carrying the flame. Thank you for this masterpiece and good luck!
Thank you!
@@zakjarvis8998 If you fancy a giggle, please watch Wartime, World War II in Europe. It was posted yesterday and made me laugh very much. What I love about your offering is that it is both personal and relevant. It deals with real people. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. He was an intelligent and sensitive person. He would have loved your film and found the "rockyisation" of an event which cost millions of lives distasteful to the extreme. Wars are not a game. They actually destroy people. You were on a budget, granted. But you were good, accurate and real. Please ignore the negativity (e.g. "The uniforms should have been hidden"). That is precisely what makes the richness of your film. You were aware that you were dealing with people who were not born soldiers and were just trying to help. Take pride, Zak, in being a sensitive human being. Again, well done!
BRILLIANT! WELL DONE.....As an Italian, I am proud of what you have done and thank you!
Alessandro Gigli grazie Alessandro!
Amazing work on this short !!!! Bravo !!! Well played, well filmed , very sad story....war is the apotheosis of mankind stupidity, brutality...! All the worst in human comes with war but also , all the greatness in the power of love , friendship , courage, bravery, strength, beauty ! Too bad that the dark side is so prevalent in these times . I can’t believe that today , some people, in some countries have to face this terrible reality ! We can thank God , we in safe countries to not have to endure these barbaric reality ! God bless you all !!!
I was totally captivated by this film, I could have watched another hour or more.
My grand dads cousin was a a prisoner in italy and everything in this video was simallar to his story he went to them in 1967 and founded them they recognized his actsent and huged him fortninetaly the house that they lived wasnt destroied in the war and he lived by them for the rest of his life he died in 1995 at end of the croatian war of independence that my father was in it check the videos about it
Brava man
Where from?
Nice grammar dumbass
@@snitzledck2 Now, I would go on about, "Does It Matter?"
But I'm a peaceful man now, I shouldn't care, for I've much more ahead of me.
Please make part 2. This is our sincere request 🤗
Finally a film short that has a proper ending, with a good story to boot!
This really was well done. And it deserves to be a full fledge movie.
Fire Lord Ozai cheers mate, I will try to make that happen!
Poor old mate Salvadore got shot along with his daughter they didn’t deserve that
Edit: I come back to 73 likes Jesus thanks guys
*SalvaTore.
pitrson bls well yeah ur not wrong they won’t hesitate to shoot
TheMinman808 not to be that one guy but those British men brought it upon them
Well that’s the nazis for ya
What are you even saying of course he deserves that for lying? He got his chance to tell them everything and he did not so they had to shoot him and his daughter.
This one broke my heart. I was expecting a happy ending...I needed that. What a marvellous love story was lost here...I guess that happened lots of times during the war. Impossible to imagine the pain of a veteran coming back to his saviours and finding out they were killed for helping him...
What a wonderful film, it shows the courage and kindness of Italians during the Second World War.
The Italians are wonderful people. God bless Italy.
You wouldn't say that about Germans so openly would you?
@@chillaxo9863 Modern Germans are wonderful people, I'd even go so far as to say most Germans during ww2 were wonderful people, just most of them were dicks.
@@TheRaccoonGamer there were lots of germans hiding jews and escapees and were murdered for that exactly like the italians in that video
@@hans-martinlinzer8056 Yep :) That's pretty much what my comment was saying, because plenty of the jews were neighbors and friends, of course they'd try to protect them.
Life with the rocky krag god bless you too!❤️💪🏻
No words only one
THIS IS LEGENDARY THANKS FOR MAKING IT
I like the beginning where they are in the train being sent which was true but the majority of the time they were crammed in the train till the point where it was hard to breathe but either way this film is pretty good keep up the good work :)
Italians and Greeks helped so many people. In Greece orthodox bishops helped Jewish evacuate and hide during occupation.
The bishops, priests, monks, friars and nuns, but also simple men and women, Italian Catholics have done the same! They did it also because Pope Pius XII asked them to give help to anyone (Jewish or not) who fled or was wanted by the Nazi-Fascists! Many of them have paid for these acts of love towards their neighbor with their lives, they are "martyrs of charity"! 👍🏻😉
ΠΟΥ ΣΑΙ ΡΕ ΠΑΤΡΙΩΤΗ !!!
Οι Ιταλοί στρατιώτες αναγκάστηκαν να πολεμήσουν με τους Ναζί Γερμανούς, αλλιώς θα είχαν πυροβολήσει αυτούς και τις οικογένειές τους. Αλλά δεν είχαν τίποτα ενάντια στους Γάλλους, τους Βρετανούς, τους Αμερικανούς και ακόμη λιγότερο με τους Έλληνες. Εμείς οι Ιταλοί κατάγονοι από τη Magna Graecia και πάντα θεωρούσαμε τους αδελφούς μας, αφού έχουμε την ίδια καταγωγή.

@@lxzo1448 it's true that the Italian state has repeatedly acted against Greece. But Italian and Greek people are always friendly to each other despite past differences.

Well done! You did a great job making this film. It is a poignant story to tell. We need to be reminded about happened during WWII. I did cry. Thanks for posting. Best wishes to you.
