Hellstorm

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
