I love christopher Nolan movies. Great entertainment. Nice to see another world war 2 movie but im so sick of no big hollywood producer implementing the true german perspective, not as blood hungry killers like in inglorious bastards, but more of how it was for them and that they can show how americans/allied were the enemy. Im still preatty interested in the movie, its world war 2 and thats mostly enough for me!

The problem you are going to have there is no one is going to forget the war crimes committed by Germany who were the agressors in that war whether you like it or not.  It's kinda like how it's hard to sell the Japanese as sympathetic due to Pearl Harbor (for the US market) and various war crimes in east and southeast Asia (for the Asian market). 

Only film I can think of that gives an interesting perspective is Valkyrie, which showed there were a lot of Germans who participated in the War effort as soldiers who weren't supporters of the madness behind the curtain but merely wanted the glory days of Germany back.  Which is really how a lot of the crazy stuff happened.  You can't convince the average individual to do a lot of the things the Nazi government did.  BUT you can convince them to allow it to happen in exchange for something they passionately want.  And a LOT of Germans wanted revenge for the treatment they received post-WWI and wanted the greatness of pre-WWI Germany restored.  That's why many people between the two wars predicted WWII was coming even though they knew little of the issues with the Nazi regime.  They could see clear as day that the resolution to WWI made WWII an inevitability. 

Only if you think the story being told is true, which i do not think. But lets not go down there. Even then americans during the world war 2 and allied did way more atrocious things than the germans, still they always perpatrated as the heroes. And thats why the sentence ''Victors write the history'' still stands very true to this day. But in this day and age with so much information going on, and different sides and enountering new perspectives and more people knowing how history REALLY was than just some made up fiction that nazis were bad and so it stands. Its not like that in the slightest and people still think nazis are bad because thats what they have been taught without even questioning it. So thats what i mean, look at generation wars. NOW thats how you do a real good representation of Nationalist germany. And i dont want any glorification of Nationlist germany either, I just want a movie with historically accuracies and some cool shi* without being too propaganda-like for either parts.
