of Nazi Germany at the time. I look forward to renting and watching the movie soon online.

So much of the military effort of Germany and the horrible Holocaust are covered, but I didn't realize until the last few years the extent to which domestic German culture was controlled and warped by Nazi ideology- the teaching in schools and universities, the news media, everyday life.

Even fashion, with regular German women encouraged to wear the traditional German derndle type skirts and avoid modern high fashion, the disdain for modern art, music and life overall. Scary and very restrictive.
