Just found it on prime. Its a few years old but pretty damned good. Has 5 full stars fwiw.
It is in german though, so if you cant follow it you'll need subtitles, but its worth it. My childhood german got buried under a smattering of spanish, afrikaans, even mandarin, so it all became a jumble, but this is bringing it back for me a little.
Story of 5 childhood german friends, teens in 1940, and takes them through the war. Sort of a saving private ryan (the action sequences are actually that good and the style is clearly reminiscient) but from a german perspective.
Im only a few episodes in, but it is Fascinating in that so far it largely lacks all the tired nazi tropes, holocaust tropes, or even typical german self loathing beyond what has to exist on self reflection of the nazi era.
2 girls, 2 soldiers and a jewish friend.
Very good and very refreshing so far. Highly recommend.
