You could say that. The third sequence of the movie focuses on a young soldier, who’s clearly under sixteen by his voice and size, as he gets pushed - both physical and mentally- by his superior to the front and attemps to well, not die as he attacks the “enemy” soldiers.

A goose is killed and later eaten. You don't actually see it get killed or suffer, but you do see its limp body as the characters run away with it, then the cooked meat and feathers on the floor in the next scene.

As well as the above comment, a character steals a dead goose for food, and its body is seen and interacted with in several shots as they run away.

Someone is held face down (sort of side of face but nose and mouth under) in a sort of mud/water combination. They do not drown, they get out of it.

Around 1:20:00 through 1:30:00 a character gets dirt shoved in his mouth, and chokes/struggles to breathe for about ten minutes.
Around 1:39:00 a character struggles to breathe from injuries to his throat
Around 2:10:00 a chracter’s face is held in a puddle and he’s unable to breathe

After the bunker explosion (around 20-30 minutes in), a deceased individual is seen with his eyes open and one eye is severely bloodshot and swollen from bruising. Also, while not mutilated, several characters are seen with excessively bloodshot, cloudy, or bruised eyes, which may be triggering to some.

Many of the soldiers look very young, considering the historical times, some even as young as 14, but our protagonist is around 18 i think.

A character has an apparent panic attack and begins to hit his head harshly against a wall after repeating he wants to go home, but is interrupted by an external event. While he never directly states his intentions, it could be interpreted as him attempting to kill himself.

the person that commits suicide says 'I'd rather die here than living like this' so not exactly but I think it could be triggering.

There are certain wide angle shots with flares, which create a flickering, high contrast image. There are also many explosions throughout the film.

Not necessarily; characters vocally support and uplift other characters who have sustained life changing injuries, have impairments, or have mental health issues. On the other hand, there is a character who vocalizes issues with being crippled/having to live like a cripple due to an injury, but I wouldn’t consider his actions ableist, per se.

There are a lot of moments where the main protagonist starts to cry and then is told to stop and keep going or whatever. But its moreso in a "Hey this is war. We dont have time to stop because we'll die" kind of way and less of "Thats not manly" way.
