a little thought

I was attracted by the famous scene of station B, but I watched all the plots carefully. In the process of watching it, one question I always thought about was whether these German officers in the movie deserve sympathy. Say no to sympathy, I saw the pain they suffered from the plot of the movie, both physically and mentally, with the pain that their beliefs were about to be destroyed, but on the other hand, it was these German officers who killed so inhumanely. Many people, including millions of Jews, and civilians who died in the war. Just seeing the pain of these German soldiers with my own eyes made me feel sympathy, but I didn't see the sacrifices of the Soviet people, and I didn't feel anything about the Soviet Union's efforts. This is too impersonal, and during World War II, Those ordinary Germans, are they really innocent? They hate the Jews from the bottom of their hearts, and they think they are the most superior nation, and all other nations should die. Such people cannot be said to be innocent. Yes, they are also guilty, so ordinary people are not always worthy of sympathy. They have kindness and innocence at the same time, but also ignorance and prejudice. They also need to pay for their faults, although this price may be right It's a bit heavy for them. In the end, I just want to say that war is ruthless. May there be no war in the future and no people who die because of war?

    The loser is the bandit, this history is the most powerful proof.

    The film restores Hitler to an ordinary person, instead of letting the so-called "devil" act as a scapegoat for human conscience.
