OK but could have been better :(

I adore German WWII history when I heard this was coming out I was very excited. I feel like a failure because it took me almost 3 years to watch it but it was worth the wait. It showed that all the SS were not horrible men. It showed that they loved their country enough not only to fight in a world war but enough to go against one of the most crazed men in the history of war. Among the few things that I noticed that were a bit strange is Clause and his wife both have dark curly hair. Their children are all blonde. I found this very confusing. Also the director seemed to focus on Claus's (Tom Cruise) glass eye. There at the very least two scenes that zoom in on it and focus. If it was to show what he had lost wouldn't the eye patch have been more appropriate to showcase. I also noticed they didn't really try to give Clause a prostetic hand. All in all it was very good and definitely worth the watch!
