Hellstorm

This documentary brings the horrors of war committed by the allied powers to light and infuriates those who no little about WW2. As you will see from the load of one star reviews it received calling it anti-Semitic it brings forth some uncomfortable facts. In reality this is no different from any other great documentary as it allows the facts to take the spotlight while also offering some opinion. As far as the critics who fall back to crying anti-Semitism I would like to remind you that facts cannot be anti-Semitic.

To end this review I would like to remind you that the victors write the history books and tend to leave uncomfortable facts out of them.

I personally never really had much of an interest in WWII as I already had a general idea of what happened, and why it happened though many of the Hollywood films I had watched in the past. Or at least that's what I thought. This documentary, however, literally sent shivers down my spine as it truly put the old saying "there are 2 sides to every story" into perspective. The documentary was very well made, and the facts were well presented.

It was nice to feel honourable and believe that we walked the moral high ground regarding WWII. When I think of all the comedy shows such as "Alo Alo" and "Fawlty Towers" who openly mocked the Germans as well as the steady stream of Hollywood films demonising the German people, I am aghast at the power of the media, able to actually control public opinion through the emotions of laughter, hatred and fear. After much research of which this film was part, I feel utterly ashamed of what was done to the German and the Axis peoples in my name. It is clear that we have all been duped by powerful forces that continue to run all media and governments from the shadows. Anyone saying otherwise is either a fool or has a dog in the fight. No, not in my name. Churchill et al were war criminals, in my opinion. The various aspects raised by this documentary I pursued through many books and footage available and I can only come to one conclusion; the Germans were innocent victims of the international clique of bankers.

Let people inform themselves with more viewpoints and then let understand how they think it was in World War II. After nearly 40 years of life, I have a chance to see something like this. "Greatest Story Ever Told" was the first documentary that showed us the other side of history. I think that there is nothing wrong in this. I read even that is banned in many countries around the world. Why? If history is that we all learned in school the truth, I do not see why people who are going to review what happened in that horror,some of them ended up in jail. The truth needs to be known, whatever it is.

Such a welcome breath of fresh air to watch a different point of view on the war other than the filtered propaganda of the west and film makers of the USA. I found it to be fair and non bias, just from a different perspective, the film does not allocate blame, just some food for thought and the truth from the other side. i think that people are far to quick to brush aside any thought process and simply accept things the way that they have been presented over time.. i too thought that movies like Schindlers list were based on truth before doing a bit of research..

i found difficulty sourcing it on Youtube but finally was able to stream it off Ancreport, another good documentary in the same line is The Greatest Story never Told and David Cole on Aushwitz. both are done very well for the obvious limit in budget
