Last week I went for 2 movies, Valkyrie on Saturday night and Der Untergang on Sunday afternoon. These movies have something in common: history background, the setting and they are based on true story.
Valkyrie is all about the solutions taken by some Nazi German generals and ministers to overthrow or assassinate the cruel dictator Adolf Hitler but their action was in vain. Actually, they almost make it, but their procrastinating of time failed them. If not, the death tolls during WW2 would not achieve as much as 5 million people as the monster(Hitler) was killed earlier.
Der Untergang( the downfall) narrates the circumstances of people in Germany during the downfall of Nazi Germany. The devastating destruction especially in Berlin due to the massive bombing conducted by Allies, killed a lot of people including innocent children, women and elder people. Moreover, some of them were also shot by their own soldiers: full of bloody, violent, sad, shocking and depressing scenes. The story ended when Hitler committed suicide and Allies took over Germany successfully.
After watching these movies, I found that not only non-German people loathed Nazi Germany but also their own people. They found that Hitler would lead Germany into hell, but they could not do anything: must obey any command from der Fuehrer(hitler), if not they would be sent to concentration camp-death. Many of the Germans who were accused allegedly that they opposed or betrayed the country were shot. Hitler, himself thought that he was the god, the savior of Germany- Germany belonged to him. Indeed, he was a Satan, he destroyed Germany
How could Hitler become the dictator of Germany? Via revolution like Fidel Castro in Cuba? won the civil war just like what was happened in China and Soviet Union? No. He became Chancellor because of the people have chosen him, elected him- via election, democracy. The Germans thought that he could ameliorate the economy and the life of people, bring Germany back to the top of the world again, cancel the treaty of Versailles which rose the burden of Germany. However, they were wrong. He have committed heinous crimes= massacred 6 million people including Germans and other races but mostly Jewish and invaded other countries. He, the evil of the world.
huh??
