Plot Īlthough the boys had been promised that they would be sent home after defusing all of the mines, Ebbe informs Rasmussen that he has ordered the surviving four to be sent to another area, to join a team defusing landmines without the aid of a map. Historians have criticised the film for showing German soldiers clearing mines under the command of Danish officers, which never happened.
The removal was part of a controversial agreement between the German Commander General Georg Lindemann, the Danish Government and the British Armed Forces, under which German soldiers with experience in defusing mines would be in charge of clearing the mine fields. It is estimated that over two thousand German soldiers, including numerous teenagers, under the command of German Officers but against the regulations of the Geneva Conventions, removed mines, with nearly half of them either getting killed or being wounded. The film is inspired by real events and tells the story of Germanprisoners of war sent to clear land mines in Denmark after World War II. It was selected and nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 89th Academy Awards.
It was shown in the Platform section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Land of Mine (Danish: Under sandet, lit.'Under the Sand') is a 2015 Danish-German historicaldramawar film directed by Martin Zandvliet.
