This stop motion animation tells the gruesome stories of German soldiers as they battle for their lives throughout the theaters of WWII.
This is an impressive piece made by Leo Kahn, an 11 year old who has been making stop motion films since he was 7. The film has a lot of violence in it, albeit with figurines, not real people. But, as, Leo points out, war is violent. He shows the human side of the soldiers. The detail of this production is astonishing. Knowing how time consuming it is to make stop motion film, you have to admire the patience that Leo shows in creating this piece.
The film's message is about the brutality of war and the horrific experiences that soldiers have.
I give Death in Normandy 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
