What the director brings to us is not eroticism and sex, but the deep wounds that war brings to human nature. Although it is already an era of peace, although the war has long since left life, these war madmen who were brainwashed by the Nazis still live in their own world. Still wearing a neat uniform, still writing meticulously, and still having some well-organized spy system. As if the world was still theirs. The women who survived the concentration camps were unable to integrate into the normal world. At the end of the film, the hero and heroine have been unable to find themselves in normal society. Their thoughts and meanings are forever imprisoned in that terrible world. They put on the clothes of the past and walked indifferently towards the road of death. In times of peace, it is still impossible to forget the despicable things that had to be done in order to survive in the concentration camps. The Nazis planted such horrific memories deep in the victims' brains. So much so that the Nazi party itself could not escape from the shackles of this terrifying thinking.
