Firstly I was very confused as to why a German family all had English accents, but gradually moved past it. Equally confusing was why a German family in Nazi Germany was praying Christian prayers, and when there Grandmother died there was a Catholic burial. It all pointed to a very modern understanding of the world, that was not accurate with how Nazi Germany was at the time. This kind of sanitation was very disappointing. Also, why wasn't the boy of an SS officer in the Hitler Youth, and well versed to Nazi propaganda? It seems the film maker either wasn't well read in history, or the more likely, they simply wanted to make it digestible to the audience. Such a shame if it is the latter.
