This scene reminds me of the Christmas Truce in 1914. For a brief period German and English soldiers fraternized with each other and realized in the absence of war they could have been friends.
The bit of humanity in this scene. Go from shooting each other to helping each other get a poor horse trapped in barbed wire. Then they go back to their trenches to resume the remainder of the war.
Not unusual in The Great War, things became so stagnant that officers actually had to deal with the problem of their own soldiers getting too FRIENDLY with the enemy, to the point where they would refuse to shoot them anymore, some trenches were so close both sides could talk to each other normally, and one particular example was the Christmas truce of 1914, where widespread informal ceasefires had both sides coming out to play soccer, talk, and trade gifts, informal truces like these continued or were attempted numerous times, but by the mid-war the officers of each respective side had figured out how to prevent these truces from taking place, one of the biggest factors was from the strategy of trench raids, where the objective was just to go to the enemy trench and try to kill or capture someone rather than trying to seize the trench itself, you also easily knew if your soldiers faked the raid, because there were only two outcomes, either you succeeded and came back with a prisoner, or you failed or got in a fight and came back with fewer people and/or wounded, so if you had neither of these outcomes you knew your men bullshitted you and you could punish them, trench raids alone dramatically eroded trust between the sides.
It’s heartwarming & absolutely heartbreaking. Knowing on any other day on any other patch of earth the man you may kill could’ve just as easily been a good friend. & it’s a good representation of there not really being any “bad guy” side. Just people put in shit situations. Crazy to think about.

When we watched this movie in my history class, my teacher paused and told us that even though the British and the Germans were enemies, these were young men, some even kids being forced to do this. This scene just shows the human side for both armies.
11 years and this scene still manages to make me cry. Watched the movie only one time and my face became so swollen, cried so much! I can't handle another time, but want my husband to watch it too! It's so powerful!
The beauty of it is that there were incidents similar to this that actually occurred. Unfortunately, after 1914, these incidents became extremely few and far between.

We almost needed therapy after this movie but still a great movie no one talk about but the real scan is following up to the barbed wire and why... Damn if people could only be as loyal
WW1 was such a strange war They literally smoked, drank, and played soccer together during the Christmas truce, then went right back to killing each other the next day because "well that's loif innit?"
Another thing is the leaders of England, Germany and Russia were all related. Queen Victoria of England was kaiser wilhems of Germany in grandmother. Kaiser Wilhelm was cousin to czar Nicholson of Russia. WW 1 was one huge family squabble.
The German army are taught to speak English as it’s easier to speak in English with other countries and alliance most soldiers speak it very fluently and they also learn to speak french do ur research man
This scene is exactly why I hate war in general: both sides enumerated with fellows that could easily be friends, yet are ordered to kill each other because of prideful, narcissistic, and greedy leaders.
Hopefully one day, all men will realize that they can all live togethere in peace. Each one his own way. No need to be all the same. No need to be at war.
You mean words like this: “I know words, I have the best words.” Or “China has respect for Trump’s very very large brain.” In that case yes it’s nice we don’t have a leader who looks, acts and sounds like a brain damaged child with the grammar level and intellectual capacity of a 4th grader
Imagine if both sides had said “Fuck this, I’m not dying for the aristocracy” and just gone home. Could they realistically all have been shot for desertion?
what you are describing is called a strike which did end up happening in the end of the war when german sailors were supossed to drive out for the finale battle with the british navy which they all knew wouldnt have any survivors on german side they marched thorugh the city and had iolent clashes with the army and police
So do I, this is how my bond with the First World War happened 6 years ago today. It happened in history class I believe in 2017, we had a lot of fall out’s over the years but, the bond between us never stopped.

Yes, I love that line. The German speaks better English!
Well remember what Jack Ryan said "isn't it wise to learn the language of the enemy"
@@inigobantok1579 'the enemy'
Becuase german schools likely taught formal English without any slang
That part always got stuck in my head for some reason Iol.
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie, because it shows the cooperation, however brief, between both sides as they try to help Joey.
We need more wire cutters and they just yeet 10 over
They're wait for it :"((((((((
They took it literally. He only said wire cutters not men to cut the wires
And of course, they all land in the crater full of water
I don’t know why but seeing the wire cutters fly over, always makes laugh 😆
I did like the video, but I changed it because of childish reasons and left the 420 likes. Lol

They realised it in 1973, too. Until a dude came along in 2016 and started the same shit again. For god and king and for the sacred NHS

Yeah. I love it that they both go for tue horse.

Eeyup, I would’ve loved to see an end credits scene or something with these two meeting up a couple years after the war.

The Wire cutters being thrown into No Man's Land is so comedic and understandingly scary at the same time.
Peter: "We need more wire cutter!"
His fellow Germans: (yeets an entire sapper unit's worth of wire cutter)
When he coulda just asked for one
Still one of my favourite scenes in the whole move. The sheer amount of wirecutters thrown by the germans makes it quite amusing to me.
i love that they all got in the water 😂
I thought it was funny they where like “nah yall got it”

Leave it to the German to speak better English than the Brit. 🤣
They are both technically gramatically correct.
hary kane is special 😂😂

This scene. The amount of respect! Almost makes me burst in tears!
1:01 when you ask for more wire cutters during ww1
Relatable.
That felt like a Monty Python scene
Alternate universe with happy ending: this is how the war really ended.
The beauty of it is that there were incidents similar to this that actually occurred. Unfortunately, after 1914, these incidents became extremely few and far between.
The war ended about a couple hours from this incident in the movie
this scene is absolutely amazing it's a moment in the war where both sides don't fight just so they can help Joey I live this film it's one of my favs
The way they threw the wire cutters was like something out of a cartoon 😂
this was so touching scene reuniting for rescuing horse
"Sometimes I think it should be a rule of war that you have to see somebody up close and get to know him before you can shoot him."
-Col. Sherman Potter
The German actor is Hinnerk Schönemann btw. he also plays Alfred Sauter in the movie „Hindenburg“.
This scene made me so sad, two brothers stuck in a war that neither wanted to be in
“Remarkable. Remarkable horse” Got that right
This scene its so perfect and represent so much from the war
Toby Kebbell (Collin) is such an underrated actor, it's disappointing.
We almost needed therapy after this movie but still a great movie no one talk about but the real scan is following up to the barbed wire and why... Damn if people could only be as loyal
It's a shame people can't love each other as much as they love an animal😢

Wholesome. German speaks better English than the Brit 😅
How would the other Germans understand “we need more wire cutters” if he asked in English? Lol
In boy in the striped pyjamas do you complain that everyone is speaking English ?
He got you there.
Some of this boys are college students
I'm not surprise that some of them understand english lol.
The German army are taught to speak English as it’s easier to speak in English with other countries and alliance most soldiers speak it very fluently and they also learn to speak french do ur research man
They have to learn sometime.
I love when humans set aside the fact there at war, so they can free a horse
This scene is exactly why I hate war in general: both sides enumerated with fellows that could easily be friends, yet are ordered to kill each other because of prideful, narcissistic, and greedy leaders.
WE NEED MORE WIRE CUTTERS!
Other Germans: YEET
Wire cutters flying from the trench. 🤣
Hopefully one day, all men will realize that they can all live togethere in peace. Each one his own way. No need to be all the same. No need to be at war.
Graphics look like all quiet on the western front with that blue.
The older I get the more I realize is that these were just boys who'd otherwise be playing football against each other than shooting.
this movie broke me..i cry every night about it but i realised its not real but it happened before
Calling a truce to save a wounded animal is awesome. Talk about humanity
One of the very best "hollywood" scenes... this movie made me cry like a bitch
It comes to something when this random German private speaks English better than the current leader of the free world.
You mean words like this: “I know words, I have the best words.” Or “China has respect for Trump’s very very large brain.” In that case yes it’s nice we don’t have a leader who looks, acts and sounds like a brain damaged child with the grammar level and intellectual capacity of a 4th grader

Love how the German guy corrects the grammar of the English.
Irony
You gotta give it to Peter, he did stick to the coin toss. Credit where credit is due :P
One thing I like about this sence is it shows my nation (usa) wasent fighting a uneducated enemy in 1917-1918 but rather a modern civilized nation
Poor Joey, someone always trying to keep him. He gets passed around from person to person throughout the movie 🙄
We need more wire cutters!
*And they just yeet a bunch over the wall*
Coulda just said one more
They throw like 8 wire cutters over a wall just for it to fall into a trench puddle
Still my favorite part of the movie
Comically throws out more cutters
Imagine if both sides had said “Fuck this, I’m not dying for the aristocracy” and just gone home. Could they realistically all have been shot for desertion?
or everyone just got together and settled things over some games.
what you are describing is called a strike which did end up happening in the end of the war when german sailors were supossed to drive out for the finale battle with the british navy which they all knew wouldnt have any survivors on german side

Yes.
Guy: we need more wire cutters.
Rain 10 of cutters.
Buena pelicula..
On each end of the rifle, we're the same.
Clever soldiers.
Quite amusing considering they're fighting in lands where they'd eat the horse...
Wenn nur alle Kriege so waren, wurdern Kriege Vielleicht schneller enden, aber ich habe es vielleicht gesagt.
British speaking English.
Germans speaking American English.
Noice!
Tommy Shelby character would be the protagonist in this movie
Ima tel, you lads if you need a wire cutters just shout WE NEED MORE WIRE CUTTERS and someone will throw it
Can’t belive that’s a robot jeezus
"We need more wire cutters" bruh what
Jerry Seinfeld deserved that horse, he risked a lot being the first one.
Do you see the white flag.
Doesnt look white wnough to me.
back in the age of gentelmen
Interesting that an enemy helping an enemy happens in WW1 bc none of this would happen in WW2 and other wars later on.
Tells ya the German soldiers were more educated..Many had even worked in London etc so many spoke English
Show the whole scene. Hate it when Scenes are Cut

what a nerdy movie this was
I laughed so hard in class when I saw the horse charge in the barbed wire. My classmates called me a monster but I like dark things so....
ok...
edgy :/
But its not dark humor. Its not even funny.
you like seeing animals get hurt? weird flex
You mean dark humour
