More WWII according to the US

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2019)

Good old war crimes to the applause of the ignorant. As a movie it has great acting and cinematography. Maybe a good 'feel good' message you'd expect from the biased end of the hero's/winners, but it denies the truth of history, and is factually inaccurate. Right from the get go Hitler did not declare "total war" in 1945 and he did not mobilize all men women and children. He did declare total war in 1943 for materials and goods to be allocated to the war effort. War is harsh, the harshest even of human device, and of course no one wants to root for the historical 'bad guy'. However to glorify dehumanization in this way is also deplorable. If anything this film only affirms how just as guilty the US (who were late to the war to begin with) is of war crimes, and hopefully isn't meant in any way to be historically accurate. Watching this film as an aficionado of history especially pertaining to wars I was left more with a sour taste in my mouth than being entertained.
I understand this is a fictional movie based on fictional characters with fictional backstories in a true historical background. But that doesn't justify the glorification and demonization expressed in this movie. Every soldier follows orders, even when they don't know the truth of maliciousness behind them, no army is exempt from that fact. Maybe that was the message?, Didn't translate well.
