This documentary is all but completely taboo. This film is sure to receive angry review, and some praise. Praise will be labeled as neo nazi or racist, anti-semite, etc. However, to argue that questioning the official report, or having an opinion, or acknowledging positive aspects of a taboo subject should be condemned immediately, should be considered reactionary and emotional in response. This would be the angry review.
As someone who is personally connected to the events documented in this film, I can admit that I was moved emotionally. The music score has a great deal to do with that effect. My father was born in Germany and lived near Dresden when the controversial firebombing of the city occurred. He can describe it in great detail through a child's eyes. For this reason I am personally connected to "my people" who suffered the horrors of WW II, which was created and waged by politicians primarily.
The argument of who suffered, whether it be Jewish people, Germans, British, Russians and Soviets, Ukranian, Polish, French, Japanese or American, is not what should be considered. Accuracy and fairness. This is what true justice is based on. Weighing the facts with blindness to emotion. This needs to be considered if we want to live together as human. Otherwise the wars can continue until we are all dead.
Please look at this objectively. There is material in here that I would consider slander towards Jewish people. It is slight, but it is there. There is also brave argument about Stalin's grip on his Soviet Republic. This, like the argument about American treatment of African American, and Native American people will be and is argued as "trying to steer sight away from the true evil of Nazism". But should it be ignored? Why is Stalin's starvation of his people considered "less evil"? Please look at this objectively. It is an argument of fairness. However, there is a chapter regarding "what if?", and the "what if?" in my opinion is preposterous.
As a half German American, I will always argue that my people and their history is another page in the book of human history. Please do not slander my ancestry. Look at the facts, take the emotion out of it. There is always a moral argument against the Third Reich. It needs to be an objective argument against the Third Reich.
I recommend this film, not to change your opinion of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, but to lessen the hatred that you may possess in yourself. Regardless of your personal opinions, there was humanity in the German people in the 1930s and 40s. You will be much more validated in your opinions if you listen to all the arguments on the subject, from all the angles. If there was not a possibility that history could be more than we have been told, then there would not be a possibility for it to be discussed. To simply dismiss alternative facts, theories, or discussion would be ignorance.
Consider having an open mind. Closed mindedness itself can lead to atrocity. Review our history and see for yourself.
