Of course it calls itself “anti-war” but this is what the promo shots look like:

actors playing nazis

The trailer makes it look like a typical war movie. But the protagonists are German soldiers. I’m sure there will be a scene or two that show they’re meanies.

    More likely, they’ll have a scene showing how our main characters disapprove of the overall goals of the nazis, but are just “good soldiers” “fighting for their country.”

      If you think about it, they aren’t even trying to teach proactive pro-Nazism. Just convince people that going along with it doesn’t require you to be a Nazi, so they’ll go along as their society nazifies while they tuy-tut away, like the good guys in the Wehrmacht.

        Yep. That was always the goal of the “clean Wermacht” myth. That as long as you disapprove of murdering innocent babies, you can murder all the innocent babies in the world, as long as you are just following orders.
