Typical Boll of stinker!

I'm still not quite sure what he is trying to say with this stink fest. I'm wondering if he did any research at all for this, the Nazis weren't shooting babies in the head and the interviews he conducted with what I'm guessing were supposed to be German youths were at best staged and picked, I'm sure, for their unique screen presence. The subtitles definitely didn't spell out all of what they were saying either. All I saw was an amateurish theatrical presentation of the "stereotypical" concentration camp story. I should have known.

The depictions of the gas chambers were on par with what you might expect to see from some kind of community theater act. Their effects were no existent unless they were using digital effects for a rather gratuitous head shot on a baby. Which as I stated earlier is of the most exaggerated portrayal of the Nazi camps.

The interviewer was certainly steering those kids in what he wanted them to say. And in some ways what they said was actually lending weight to the Nazi ideology weather intended or not remains to be seen.
