Superb adaption of an anonymous memoir published in 1959 about the fate of the women who were stuck in Berlin in April/May 1945 when the Red Army rolled in. Rape and pillage were the order of the day as the Russians sought revenge for the atrocities visited on them by the Nazis.
Extremely well done in all respects. I had read this and many other books on this topic which may have enriched my perceptions of the film. I could find no flaws here. It told a part of the story of the war that all participants, perps and victims, would rather see buried.
