Never been so surprised to find this many idiots rating a movie. I'm not going to read the nonsense. But without looking I have a couple ideas. Glorifying war, that many of the Nazi's were noble hero's that knew what the atrocities that people were doing under the banner of Germany. The core of the story has been told many times some better and a few that were worse. The acting was excellent and the SS major was superb and the tension between regular army and the SS soldiers was believable. Who would live and who would die was not easy to predict and even who was truly evil was equally hard to guess. Your told the reason for the mission but as they go to complete the mission things happen that are a mystery to the soldiers as well as the audience. I'm kidding about reasons why people didn't like it but if you don't like horror or war movies pick something else.

Plot summary
It's the Eastern Front, 1944. The Russians are pushing the German Army back through Romania. Major Kurt Fleischer, war-weary commander of an elite troop of German soldiers, is ordered to escort a female scientist into a mysterious forest behind enemy lines to retrieve an ancient relic. As his men begin to disappear in strange circumstances Fleischer realises that the scientist is part of Himmler's occult department and there is something in the forest that is far more deadly than the Russians.

What is your problem people!!
Low-budget film but enjoyable
On the surface, the movie seems like a youtube quality fan film made by a group of friends with a good idea. The effect is hilariously bad and ruin the tense atmosphere that the movie desperately tried to build. The pacing is either too slow at the beginning or too fast toward the end once the mystery is unraveled. The story leaves much to be desired since there are plot point that are out of place or completely useless (i.e. the romantic scene). There is an excess of character that are so lack in distinguishing features and personality which made it hard to remember who is who and who mattered. But among the horribly written cast of characters, a few stood out, and that was the reason why I watched the movie for its entirety.
Praises must be given to the actors since they really delivered a strong performance however stereotypical. For example, the stereotypical image of a Nazi commander is of a proud and cold monster in a man skin, with distinctive gestures, head movements, and a almost believable german accent (which is one thing I can appreciate since the everyone have a british accent).
Would I recommend the movie? Absolutely not. However, there is a good chance that if one stumbled across this movie, they might be able to enjoy it at their own leisure.
Another Nazi horror indie
Another British horror indie, shot in the woods like so many and cashing in on the Nazi sub-genre which has produced the occasional hit like OVERLORD and OUTPOST. This time around a bunch of non-actors play a German squad transporting a female scientist to a secret woodland research institute, only to find themselves menaced by both Russians and supernatural forces when they get there. It's far from the worst indie I've ever seen, with lashings of gore and earnest performances from the non-actors, but it's not good enough to be considered a good film, either.
