Children, Mother, and the General[1] (German: Kinder, Mütter und ein General, and also released as Sons, Mothers, and a General)[2] is a 1955 West German war film directed by László Benedek and starring Hilde Krahl, Therese Giehse and Ewald Balser.[1] The film was not a popular success, possibly because its anti-war perspective clashed with support for German rearmament and membership in NATO.[3]

The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut and Johannes Ott. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg. Location filming took place on Lüneburg Heath.
