Verdict on Berenshtein
Berenshtein is a war drama following a Partisan group of soldiers who get to take on Hitler’s army to take out his Wonder Weapon. They must put aside their differences to fight back against a bigger threat.
This is another one of the brilliant stories of unsung heroes during World War II. It shows how many soldiers from different countries came together for the greater good. The battles meant they risked their lives to change the outcome of the war. While this story only seems to cover the surface facts and holds back on the major conflict moments. However, it does address the larger importance of what they did.
Final Thoughts – Berenshtein shows another amazing heroic story from World War II.
