Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This excellent, clarifying and informative documentary was released at the 11th hour to bolster Eric Singer's film VALKYRIE. It does its job and how!--always, as my motto about documentaries, I expect no stupid re-enactments, no idiotically costumed actors, no soundtrack meant to invoke Wagner, just good fact, good history and lots of photos and interviews.
This is as good as it gets. We learn all about everyone here, from Count von Stauffenberg to General Ludwig Beck; we learn that these men really didn't consider themselves NAZI. This is the story about the German resistance...after I saw Singer's VALKYRIE, I told my wife I had no idea there had ever been such a thing. This excellent documentary tells everything the film left out: how and why were there dissenters among Hitler; what they thought of Germany and the war; how they planned to re-tool Germany after Hitler's death.
One vital thing I love about this documentary is that you will learn that at one point, General Olbrecht nearly called off the assassination, claiming it was too barbaric a move for them to make. He was quickly voted down, and this leads me to note the documentary's excellent, tasteful use of clips from Singer's VALKYRIE.
Get this as a necessary companion piece to VALKYRIE. You won't be sorry, and you'll understand it all completely.
THAT, dear readers, is a documentary!!
