A very different documentary... MUST WATCH!!!
This is yet another documentary about The Holocaust (or The Shoah) but VERY different from all or most of the rest that exist. This one isn't about before, during or right after the event. This one is held in this century, interviewing the few people left that where there all those decades ago. It goes deep into how young people were compelled to be part of the Nazi party and how they were made not to care what was happening to the Jews all around them. One may call it the behind the scenes psyche of Hitler's army, which was made to be very powerful and compelling for anyone to at least consider joining them.
It's shocking to hear that, in the 21st century, some people still deny part or all of this time in history but, personally, made me think about where I would've stood had I been in the shoes of those young people. I know most educated people, including myself, want to believe they would have been on the side defending the Jews but after watching this, it's not so clear to me anymore.
The only thing I would have done differently or added is the explanation of all the terms that are mentioned but aren't translated: Mein Kampf, Kristallnacht, different titles of people, etc. - lovintouch - 18 September 2021
Several things about movies that aggravate me
They kept posting paragraphs in tiny words and offer less than 30 seconds to read before posting more words to read in tiny lettering, that wasn't a nice touch on this movie since it's essence should be taken in with thought not attention deficit disorder and I would have hoped this was not another blame the German race for what happened 80 years ago as one of the military guys he interviewed had claimed he supported this war and Hitler, sort of race-baiting, I mean we have seen so many of these types of movies already, I would have preferred a total focus on those that had no choice and they too their lives were in danger if they did not obey. I know a lady who had direct contact with Hitler and his entourage and she said they were watched and if they said a thing their lives were threatened. There was race baiting in this movie and truly when will those who create movies based out of ww2 stop this and put some light and compassion on the people of Germany as they too were subjected to death if they did not go along with the program.
