The comment about "BMW is better" misses the whole point. GM and ford were producing enormous amounts of vehicles for the war effort while the German military was using horse drawn carts... BMW might be decent today but that has nothing to do with 80 years ago. Context is everything.
EVERY SINGLE REVIEWER who reviews Ep9 has no idea we didn't know about The Holocaust until we went there and saw it. Made it all the way to adulthood with ZERO concept of history. Not completely their fault. It's a mixture of the educational system and personal responsibility, and we all know it.
The Germans knew.
I deployed 7 times throughout my 21 yr career in the Army. I was wounded. Death became the norm. Saying “why can’t we be humble”. Is ignorant. It’s not that easy to just shut it off. Trauma is real!
These men, along with the allies who fought in ww2, literally saved the world. They saved us all. So excuse them if they were “rude” to the German civilians who were in a lot of ways complicit, after everything these men went through. You think they wanted to be there?
'Woah - They must have done something real bad' The soldiers being executed by the French officer (who may have been played by Tom Hanks) were French citizens who were fighting in the German army.
Being rude to her what a ridiculous statement
MY FATHER WENT IN AFTER DDAY TO PUSH THE GERMANS OUT OF FRANCE AND THEN INTO GERMANY . HE WITH ANOTHER DIVISION HELPED LIBERATE A CONCENTRATION CAMP THE HORRIBLE THINGS HE SAW AFFECTED HIM FOR YEARS
If you think the locals didn't know, you're WAY too gullible. Of course they knew. They had high ranking officers living in the town.
The towns people knew about what was going on. And they did nothing.
Jewish person here, my family refuged to Sweden after the war. But we lost most of our family in auschwitz and buchenwald. Thanks for reacting to one of the most terrible things happened to my folks. Thanks! I hope that I never have to see this again
To add realism to the concentration camp scenes they had patients from the local cancer hospital act as extras.
Those Germans knew. They were rounded up from their towns and put on trains. The locals treated the Jewish people terrible before they were all rounded up.
I know at first it seems harsh to kick Germans out of their homes, but remember, all these Americans had to give up their lives and go to war because of Germany. Our guys have been dying and fighting OUTSIDE for over a year, through the winter even, so if they want shelter for ONE night and seem abrubt- consider what they've sacrificed to have to be there in the first place. War spares no one.
Those Germans in that town knew full well what was going on. They chose to look the other way. It's funny to me, how a very large number of German citizens were proud to be affiliated with the Nazi party during Hitler's rise to power and had no real issue with the persecution, torture and murder (or at least the "relocation", as they were told) of millions of Jews and other minorities. Yet, as one of the guys mentioned during the temporary occupation of that house, with all the Germans they came across, not a one ever admitted to being a Nazi.
The black ribbon on the photo of the general means he died in service
A lot of villages near KL's, they all knew what was happening in those camps. And it actually was worse as the Nazi's evacuated their eastern camps, they shipped all the prisoners to Germany. And when the average German saw these columns of starving humans, they actually complained to local police that they better make sure that the 'criminals' don't steal from them.
Hitler killed himself on April 30th, 1945. That was my mom's 5th birthday. My mom's whole family was from Germany and Austria. Everyone in her family immigrated to NY in the 1890s where I was born and raised. My grandmother told me that it was the BEST 5th birthday my mom ever had! There was a collective sigh of relief.
They knew,The banality of Evil.
This is a difficult episode. I can't help but get emotional every time I watch this. Between the dichotomy of Nixion and the Widow with the dog and how raw and overwhelmed the soldiers are in all the scenes they are in.
