Good but too one sided

Anyone who thinks Stalin was blameless compared to Hitler needs to get their facts straight; my ancestors were Ukranian Jews and they honestly thought their luck had changed for the better when the Germans turned up in 1941 after twenty years of Russian occupation.

///Not that every Jew is a usurer and nation-wrecker of course.///
You're very kind.
Now, as much as I understood, in order to "resist" the "private federal reserve bank", or whatever you say, you have to ravage and plunder all Europe, executing millions of civilians for being not only Jews but Poles, Gypsies, Russians? Making soap and fertilizers of the murdered human beings? Lampshades of human skin? "Experimenting" on children? Vandalizing artistic, spiritual and cultural treasures of other peoples? Designing to turn all Eastern Europe into slavery?
Well, it doesn't look like you're capable to grasp, so stay in your dreamworld full of nightmares ("perpetual debt", "globalist private banks", "banking oligarchs"), or better seek some professional help.

Where did you get the number 50 million? That plus the 25 million killed by the Nazis would mean that 75 million Soviets were killed in the Stalin Era. The Soviet Union had a population of nearly 200 million in 1941, so you are saying that the Soviet government killed nearly one quarter of its population which is completely ridiculous. The the Soviet Government killed that many people, how did the Soviet population go from 148 million in 1926 to 168 million in 1939. The U.S. population went from 106 million in 1920 to 132 million in 1940 about the same as the Soviet Growth rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_Soviet_Union

Between the 1911 Russian Census and 1991 what was once the Russian Empire gained about 130 million people. The U.S. gained about 140 million people in that same period. The Soviet Union lost 25 million people during World War II. The high casualties during the Russian Civil War can not be blamed entirely on the Communists nor the deaths from the postwar famine.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting it could have been more balanced by being written from numerous points of view?
This is fine, but it would have been a completely different movie.
Unless you have an issue with narratives that strictly represent a single point of view (which I think is silly), I really don't think your point makes logical sense.
Indeed I believe that you are confusing the role of narrative in art and narrative in history, rhetoric or theory. Art is not necessarily about "balance." It is not necessarily about truth either. -

Agreed. The film was definitely one-sided and biased. The way the Germans were portrayed is enough to assume that. The Germans committed heinous acts, but not all of them were some kind of monsters who enjoyed the show, like it was portrayed in the film.
More so, just like the world isn't black and white, there were no "good" or "bad" guys in WW2. Each side can be blamed for all sorts of atrocities. -

The film is one-sided but it is through the eyes of one character who is a Partisan and the story takes place over a 24 hour period in one geographical location - there is no bigger picture. Also the SS unit shown in the film are based on an actual unit who were not indicative of the SS as a whole or of the German army. So whilst it is 'one-sided' it is only a snapshot, and arguably a realistic 'snap-shot'. The film should not be taken as a grand portrayal of WW2 or of the Eastern Front, because it is far from being that.
