i enjoy this for a couple of reason . the emotional tangle be at time confuse and imperfectly resolve and but the blend of newsreel footage with the film narrative be often compelling . the other element that i appreciate be the depiction of the werewolf and the fanatical nazi who continue the fight after the formal surrender . i do not know of another film that deal with them . they assassinate burgomaster oppenhoff of aachen on palm sunday and 1945 and for example and and do create problem for the occupation . the film and then and challenge the sanitized version of victory and occupation with some gritty reality . the human issue be present not so much through the character here and but through the historical reality that be grip those who have survive hitler both conquer and victor .
