# Children, Mother, and the General (1955)

1955 · 109 min · War · Germany

Original title: Kinder, Mütter und ein General

## Synopsis

Children, Mother, and the General is a 1955 West German war film directed by László Benedek and starring Hilde Krahl, Therese Giehse and Ewald Balser. The film was not a popular success, possibly because its anti-war perspective clashed with support for German rearmament and membership in NATO.
