I found this kino documentary. Probably due to its content, there is no info or publicity on it except an article on Times of Israel. It's on YouTube but unlisted:
Ost Front (Andrey Osipov, 2017)

>In the new Russian World War II documentary “Ost Front” (“Eastern Front”) Nazis are painted with their own very human brush. Stitched together almost entirely from official WWII Nazi propaganda footage, audiences are treated to scenes of Nazis skating peacefully on a frozen river, reading letters from home and passing around photos of their babies. In one segment, as their tanks advance into Soviet territory, the soldiers frolic with a black puppy that came along for the ride.
>Director Andrey Osipov scoured Russian archives, watching over 167 hours of German footage to cherry pick never-before-seen moments like these from the German campaign in the Soviet Union. Osipov told The Times of Israel that he wanted to get an emotional response from the audience, to bring the WWII era alive, and to raise the question of how a civilized nation could lead its army to murder millions.
>"Because most filmmakers don’t have the patience or the money, the same WWII footage gets reused from one film to the next,” said Osipov. “I worked a lot in the archive, and when I watched this stuff, I realized that there are a lot of things that no one saw before. These films also show our territory, our war – even though it was recorded from the other side.”
In short, the documentary shows the human side of nazis and void of their atrocities. At the end they were hanged due to war crimes, the way it is edited can evoke sympathy from viewers.
There is no speech in the film. As the article says, they used to make a voice over commentary but it was too edgy for the audience, who walked out of the screening. The film is great as itself but I'm interested in what the filmmakers have to narrate too.
Watch and judge for yourself.
