I’d never heard about them before, and I remember mum having to explain to me what the symbol meant. This movie showed likable, strong and sympathetic characters tearing up Nazi flags and resisting the Nazis. It showed Nazi-sympathizers as intimidating and unfair. It showed us that normal people (Rolfe) could fall for their propaganda and we could lose them. I was seven years old when I first watched this and immediately I knew Nazis were terrible, and because of the power of the story and the warmth of the characters this feeling sunk to my core. I worry a lot about kids whose first introduction to world events is a movie like ‘American Sniper’. I love that the captain did it with no hesitation either, even though doing so usually got you shot on sight Also the scene where they sing “Eidelweiss”, a song both a protest against the Nazis as well as a lament for what they were losing. -- source link
