For some reason, we have been watching very many World War II movies at my house lately; From Here to Eternity, Pearl Harbor, Saving Private Ryan, and U-571 in the last two weeks alone. And it occured to me that I don’t recall ever seeing a moving from the German point-of-view related to the greatest resentment of the twentieth century.
I know that it is our perogative as the victor in that confict to “glorify” our side, but are there any films that show how the Germans nursed their resentment of their treatment after WWI into what became the second of the war to end all wars?
The West certainly could have been a little less vindictive and perhaps it would have prevented the additional tragedy.
