# The first part of the 20th Century saw great wars, one after another. But never before has an age seen so many different conflicts. World War I changed the world forever, World War II changed it again, and then there was Vietnam. Vietnam also marked a turning point in America's stance towards war - caught up in the idealistic fervor of the Cold War, America struggled with whether or not to wage war against communism because it could destroy free-market capitalism as well as democracy itself. This realization led to what is now known as "the Vietnam syndrome." America no longer fought because it sought selfless glory or "the greater good. "It was too afraid to engage in an immoral war that would take them further from their goals of world domination. The moral and ethical burdens that came with the war have been a source for many to say no to war, even though the Vietnam War did not directly affect them at all. Generation War is a documentary about the generation who did not fight the Vietnam War, but did fight in it after it ended. They grew up during one of America's most tumultuous times - the 1960s - and were faced with their own wave of internal turmoil from protests, lawlessness, and radicalized liberals. Many fought for their beliefs abroad while others were propelled into action to protect their country from communism. The film is a dramatization of events, told from the points of view of five different Germans of different backgrounds and social status. The German cast begins the film as teenagers in Berlin during the final days before World War II breaks out. The characters are all at various stages in their lives, with some already married and others driven to find love in the midst of chaos. They all attend Berlin University together, where they live out their wildest dreams and come into contact with Nazi Germany, the Party, and the SS. As Hitler's power grows throughout Europe, so does his presence in their everyday lives until he no longer seems like an actual person but rather an oppressive force that looms over them at all times. The film is based on experiences of various Germans who were either fighting in Vietnam or fighting against it. Most of them did not talk about the war with their friends or coworkers. After all, they did not need to justify their actions of war or why they were fighting. They did not feel the need to explain themselves to anyone else because they felt they had already accepted themselves for who they were, but this did not stop them from forming their own opinions of the war and what it meant to be a German in post-War Germany. The film was produced by Christian von Pfeiffer, who had already written a book about his experience in Vietnam entitled "No Other Way But Forward - From the South African Border to Vietnam." Pfeiffer's book prompted him to gather other people to tell their stories after giving interviews for the first time. Vietnam veterans have complained that their experiences were not being told, so he made it his goal to capture these stories. After Pfeiffer began researching, he learned that it was not just men who were fighting in Vietnam - there were also women and children who fell victim to the war, but these Germans had given up on telling their story. cfa1e77820
