As if "just following orders" excuses them from the consequences of the actions they were taking? There's a reason the Nazi regime is the prime example of evil, so obvious and useless as to be unexplainable, of the 20th century. Don't ask our filmmakers to make it more acceptable by downplaying it. (Reply to this) |

Does the movie bother to distinguish between the hardcore Nazi SS and the average soldiers of the German Army swept up into the chaos? No. Does it explain that carrying a rifle and doning a uniform for their country was a lot more appealing than starving to death homeless in a back alley somewhere? Nope. Therefore, it's flawed.
