Hellstorm

Well, I almost fell from the chair when my grandmother first told me that Germans were in fact nice to them, and the real psychos were (some) soviets. Also in fact, all death camps, except those in soviet occupation zone, were proved to not to be a death camps - what proves nothing against holocaust, but it is kinda interesting. Especially whilst considering claims in USA about soviet propaganda during the cold war.

We are being told about the atrocities of Germans, and "goodness" of allies in europe, but merciless cruelty pattern against civilists of so called good guys repeats in japan, Vietnam, juhoslavia and in the middle east. It also looks like the so called dictators in arab countries are in fact very intelligent and admired by their own people, while being propagated in our TVs like pure evil savages.

About film: Although some statements in Hellstorm are hard to believe, this documentary is important puzzle in the maze of finding truth. It is relieving to see something different than monolithic point of view.

This documentary brings the horrors of war committed by the allied powers to light and infuriates those who no little about WW2. As you will see from the load of one star reviews it received calling it anti-Semitic it brings forth some uncomfortable facts. In reality this is no different from any other great documentary as it allows the facts to take the spotlight while also offering some opinion. As far as the critics who fall back to crying anti-Semitism I would like to remind you that facts cannot be anti-Semitic.

To end this review I would like to remind you that the victors write the history books and tend to leave uncomfortable facts out of them.

Such a welcome breath of fresh air to watch a different point of view on the war other than the filtered propaganda of the west and film makers of the USA. I found it to be fair and non bias, just from a different perspective, the film does not allocate blame, just some food for thought and the truth from the other side. i think that people are far to quick to brush aside any thought process and simply accept things the way that they have been presented over time.. i too thought that movies like Schindlers list were based on truth before doing a bit of research..

i found difficulty sourcing it on Youtube but finally was able to stream it off Ancreport, another good documentary in the same line is The Greatest Story never Told and David Cole on Aushwitz. both are done very well for the obvious limit in budget

Let people inform themselves with more viewpoints and then let understand how they think it was in World War II. After nearly 40 years of life, I have a chance to see something like this. "Greatest Story Ever Told" was the first documentary that showed us the other side of history. I think that there is nothing wrong in this. I read even that is banned in many countries around the world. Why? If history is that we all learned in school the truth, I do not see why people who are going to review what happened in that horror,some of them ended up in jail. The truth needs to be known, whatever it is.

One of the most important historical documentaries to see. With this documentary, the scape-goated victims finally get their stories told. Hard to watch, yes. Fact-based, unlike a lot of what was taught in history class or what they show in hollyweird. Those innocent men, women, and children did not deserve such barbaric and atrocious deaths, especially when their people did not commit genocide themselves.
