Three generations plus has moved on time and today Germany and Czech are good friends and old enmities have been consigned to the dungheap of history.
I was mid teen when this movie came out of Communist Czechoslovakia, and in faraway post Nehruvian Madras, had no hope of ever seeing. So it was a delight beyond words, when just a few hours ago, I came across it by accident in Youtube. A great movie, one that will stand the test of time, which both the Czech/Slovak union as well as Nazi Germany did not.
