Stan Tucci was outstanding as Eichmann. I bought a few DVD's and gave them to my friends it was so good.

The whole thing was so terrifyingly real and ordinary, so “rationale”

How about thousands of Polish officers killed one by one by shot in back of head by Russians in Katyn? They were claiming for decades (russians) that Naziz did it.
PS. I don't defend Germans at all as I'm Polish myself, but there's other side of story. Russians were not saint you know 😉

No you are quite right. Did it not happen in the 'Katyn Forrest' perhaps I'm wrong I shall check it out.
One thing is for sure "War is hell" as one famous American general said and I think he meant the Biblical perception of it.

But the worst is that we didn't learn a thing, and it's still happening. Good night lads.

...speaking of the the movie, it's funny how when the nazi's ran out of victums they started feeding on themselves. Evil does not really care who it feeds on, it was only playing "make believe" with "the master race" so that it could consume them in the end. Those who survived the death camps would have considered the "bunker" an extravagant luxury the nazi's did not deserve. We too, should not play make believe with evil, not matter what our excuses may be...

I saw this video a few days ago. A friend of mine had sent it to me after seeing it on Luminous Landscape.
I must say I have mixed feelings about it (and the other comic variations). On the one hand these jives are very clever, but on the other it is difficult (at least for me) to amuse myself over spoofed subtitled images of this murdering maniac hell-bent on world domination. And in this setting he had turned on his own people.
If the extent of his military experience had taken him beyond the rank of corporal, and/or he had taken the advice of his generals, he may very well have succeeded in his twisted quest.

This is hilarious. Somebody should post this in the Nikon RF forum. The Nikon fanboys over there will probably choke on their soda.

I guess it is ironic ... after all, how many of history's mass murderers have finished up as material for comedy. I don't recall ever seeing Stalin used this way and Charles Manson (on a smaller scale) has surely been absent.
When you look at Hitler he was a naturally comedic figure as dangerous as he was .... the little moustache and the strutting body language and gestures are not those of the phenomenon he subsequently turned out to be.
Charlie Chaplin's parody of him in his superb movie was quite chilling when you consider the implications ... and where this lunatic took the German population. Could something like this ever happen on a similar scale again ... I doubt it but you do have to wonder?

I was reading recently that the US Civil War claimed somewhere between half and three quarters of a million people ... considering what the population of the country probably was at that time it's a chilling statistic. For a country's own population to inflict this sort of carnage on itself is mind boggling even though the cause was just. I'm glad the US seems to be sorting it's internal problems out with the ballot box these days! 🙂
