A Woman in Berlin
A nameless woman keeps a diary as the Russians invade Berlin in the spring of 1945. She is in her early 30s, a patriotic journalist with international credentials; her husband, Gerd, a writer, is an officer at the Russian front. She speaks Russian and, for a day or two after the invasion, keeps herself safe, but then the rapes begin. She resolves to control her fate and invites the attentions of a Russian major, Andreij Rybkin. He becomes her protector of sorts subject to pressures from his own fellow soldiers and officers. Dramas play out in the block of flats where she lives. Is she an amoral traitor? She asks, "How do we go on living?" And what of Gerd and her diary?

In German and some Russian
Subtitles found were for English certainly in addition to Dutch, Bulgarian
Finnish Spanish and Greek - The German pal dvd subtitles we tried had perfectly
matching sync at the start however the subs didnt fit the HD version in later
scenes as it is a different cut.
Stars the lovely Ms. Nina Hoss from Germany
The end of the war brought terrible tragedy to the German people -
particularly including those there of our most dear of womenfolk
on the planet.
This was a sad time with the crime of rape being taken for granted as a right
granted to the invader courtesy of Stalin-like thinking amongst many of the
members of the invading red army of Russia.
That said, there is some human interaction amidst it all that keeps us
sane enough and human enough to pick up the pieces after since it appears
that maliciousness is not in fact a universal crime even amongst those that
are found in the wrong company as it were as not all can be equally tainted
completely with the crimes if in fact there is no fair enough basis for such
for those who were altogether innocent at heart.
The peoples of Russia have some of the greatness of the same spirit there
too some nice women especially too -
We are sorry that Russia was too invaded and brutally demeaned
by Nazi forces that should have been elsewhere looking for "lower forms of
beings" (this causes insane levels of hate and malice towards all) instead -
as Russia is not the place for such an attitude. It was Hitler that was
exactly such a menace to the core - and he was cruel to our women
in what befell them as a result in Germany too from the defeat of
German forces of the Reich.
Nor is Germany ever going to be allowed to be defiled this way again
as were the women of Berlin depicted in this terrible tale of a sad
state of criminality run-amok - so help me god (on behalf of all good
men that remain true to their spirit))!

A man who is capable of being good to a woman will remain so even in war
On the other hand a jerk is always a jerk - looking for any excuse to be
even more of a jerk when he can - if only they should all be made to fall
off the edge of the earth eh!
