If you are looking for an action-packed war movie, this aint it. If you are looking for an engrossing love story, this is not it, either. That what is this film about? It is pretty much about a dysfunctional family in Britain at the start of WW2.
One brother is a hell-raiser, and the other a loner. This is followed by a series of events that begs a great deal of disbelief to be removed from the average viewer. Even the nazis are not believable. Add the pace of the film, which is similar to one of its sponsors; a turtle racing promo (really, I kid you not), and what do you have?
A mess of a misfire. Spend your time on somethng else.

Very Slow Misfire for WW2 - Brothers of War
Very little about the war. No one likable.
Not actually a war film: a few minutes of improbable action.
German troops are shown as shooting captured British soldiers - whatever crimes they committed elsewhere, this simply didn't happen.
The real failure is the characters, all of them truly repellent. Flashes between different times, which is OK, but really nothing entertaining was happening in any of them.
Must have been scripted by someone who's scared of the countryside and decides that it's full of awful people, instead of a mix of all sorts.
There's apparently a plot, but really it did not interest me. Skipped most of it, no signs of anything but more dross
Not impressed
I see someone mentioned attention to detail. I didn't see it. He would not have been in the army with that mop of hair on his head. And soldiers of that time period shaved unless under constant fighting. Seems like a garbage production to me.
