Hellstorm

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.

Well, I almost fell from the chair when my grandmother first told me that Germans were in fact nice to them, and the real psychos were (some) soviets. Also in fact, all death camps, except those in soviet occupation zone, were proved to not to be a death camps - what proves nothing against holocaust, but it is kinda interesting. Especially whilst considering claims in USA about soviet propaganda during the cold war.

We are being told about the atrocities of Germans, and "goodness" of allies in europe, but merciless cruelty pattern against civilists of so called good guys repeats in japan, Vietnam, juhoslavia and in the middle east. It also looks like the so called dictators in arab countries are in fact very intelligent and admired by their own people, while being propagated in our TVs like pure evil savages.

About film: Although some statements in Hellstorm are hard to believe, this documentary is important puzzle in the maze of finding truth. It is relieving to see something different than monolithic point of view.

I have to say first, I come from Vietnam and back to the war, do you think the American did not rape woman or kill children? or American again are the good guys while Vietnamese communistic people were the bad one? Think about it. No side are good or bad at all in some areas. The movie was worth to spending time to watch. If you really are an open-minded person, it is interested and stunned as well. Otherwise, I swear you would vote the film 1 star as many others did. Two-side story always better than one-side. At least, I know another story beneath the victory-story demonstrated by the Allies. It is hard to see, of course, but the should be some reason why the German have to go to the war, right?

One of the most important historical documentaries to see. With this documentary, the scape-goated victims finally get their stories told. Hard to watch, yes. Fact-based, unlike a lot of what was taught in history class or what they show in hollyweird. Those innocent men, women, and children did not deserve such barbaric and atrocious deaths, especially when their people did not commit genocide themselves.

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
