HW 10

I missed the film today in class, so I will list some of the other things I saw in previous viewings.

1) The unwillingness of Hitler's circle and his subject to live without National Socialism; a woman refuses to leave the bunker with her children, not wanting them to live a life without National Socialism, a man kills his family with a grenaide rather than face life not under the Nazi regime, etc. It shows how persuasive the indoctrination the Nazis used was, how that cemented their power.

2) Another example of indoctrination was how soldiers were killing civilians in the streets for surrendering; shows their dedication and passion to a lost cause.

3) The Hitler Youth boy's toy German soldiers showed how the Nazis indoctrinated the children from a young age, and instilled them with a strong sense of nationalist pride (the adults as well).

4) There is reference to Social Darwinism, that the Germans had proven themselves too weak and did not deserve to live past the war since they had "failed".
