For me personally, I can't recall seeing any where it's from the German perspective. So I was intrigued to see what would be covered and said.
While the first two-thirds of the film documentary is more on the informative, it's the pay-off is where it gets juicy and raises many discussions.
Seeing some interviewees continue to flat-out deny the actions of the Nazi's shows the power that organisation were at brainwashing their nation from an early age. But it also shows the fine line of feeling like a criminal as you knew deep down what was happening was wrong or not as you felt the actions were just and you felt part of an efficient team and representing your country.
This ended up being deeply fascinating thanks to some well chosen people to interview as some gave a lot of passion that was resonated well on screen.
But I feel with a stronger editor and more hard-hitting questions early on, this could have been more.
I would still recommend this, as it raises a lot of interesting discussion topics and at times is a tough watch in an eye-opening way.
For someone of my generation, seeing how the power of the Nazi propoganda still work for those survivors is the stuff of nightmares.
