In this better-than-average European import, we learn that not only was life hard for lovers during World War II, but also that (in this case at least) the Gestapo were not so bad after all. That's the one glaring flaw in this otherwise historically believable release, thanks to good costuming and sets. The youngish eastern European cast is very appealing physically, with body types ranging from lanky, sinewy Robbie Masters (splendid ass, with a furry crack that begs closer inspection) to the hugely muscled Eric Flower, one of the officers who invades the bucolic farmhouse setting, sparking an orgy with the farmhands. Square-jawed Tom Nowy, the commander of the group, power-fucks his way through the available asses until he's spent in a truly awesome topping performance. Mop topped Sebastian Stone is paired with Masters for a bittersweet finale, a romantic suck and fuck that has Masters mewling and moaning while Stone drives into his ass. Expert direction keeps the story moving along at an enjoyable clip, and camerawork is especially adept.

RETAILING: European saga of gay sex during WW2. Very hot cast, six scenes of fast-paced sex.

AAA

DVDFive black scenes (one trio) vary in style and sexiness. A wordless threeway is so intricate that one lighter man's face is hidden for the first five minutes under two dark dudes who fuck his mouth and suck his meat. Then he watches Face-Fucker fuck Sucker's ass while both take turns sucking him. Next serene Sexcyone watches something he's often seen before, a corn-rowed youth sucking his colossal cock to erection, then Cornrow's cornhole stretching to take a first-rate fucking from that world-class tool. Sexcy shoots onto a tiger tattooed above Cornrow's tit. A director is instantly obeyed when he orders a young hankyhead, "Rip those pants off. Start sucking that dick!" of Hanky's nervous couch-companion who becomes less nervous and more sure of himself when he feels mouth and then asshole around his cock. He really makes Hanky's hindquarters jiggle. The last two scenes have problems. A long, slow gym-duo has so little chemistry that after 23 minutes, the director sends a third guy in with the line, "Hey, dudes, that looks like fun. Can I join?" He finishes the scene quickly and gets a face-full of two loads. The director and one model chatter throughout most of the last duo. Redd finally throws a good fuck.

RETAILING: So-so. For undiscriminating black-dick worshipers.
