The whole premise of these movies is blatant propaganda
“Look, some Nazis were good, they were just young and forced to become Nazis”
I really thought that line of thinking went out in the 1970s. Germany’s businesses were still largely operated by former Nazis, and they needed a way to look away.
Fact of the matter is, if you were a Nazi - in any shape or form - you are a total a$$hole. It doesn’t matter if you happen to fall in love with a Jew or whatever on the other side, you were complicit in that historic catastrophe and to say anything else is purely propaganda.
This idea that it was all Hitlers fault, that he somehow pulled a fast one on Germany, is a total falsity. It took him twenty years, he was incredibly vocal, they all knew exactly what he was doing and they immanatized the eschaton.
Even if there was a “Nazi with a heart of gold” which is itself a total oxymoron, they were an insignificant percentage, yet the steady stream of these movies makes people assume that most Nazis were just regular people caught up in the wake of history, when they were all idiotic monsters.
But good luck finding a movie that portrays Nazis in a poor light. Sure they always lose, but for most of these movies they’re attributed power, orderliness, mechanical, all the myths Nazi Germany wanted people to think about itself. When it was actually a nigtmarish horde, a legion of pathetic imbeciles.
tl;dr: fukk nazis
