Nazi movies

There has recently been a spate of movies about WWII and especially the Nazis, over 60 years after WWII ended. None of them say that the Nazis were good, but some of them definitely tend towards a revisionist attitude about the Nazis, i.e. that some were basically misguided, or they were the victims of circumstances, or that they had little choice but to take the path of serving the Nazis even though they really didn't support them. This is of course all nonsense! The Nazis themselves were a small, select proportion of the German people, who followed Hitler faithfully, and the SS were an even smaller group who were vetted for absolute devotion to the Fuehrer and his aims, which included removing all Jews from the earth.
To my knowledge there has only been one SS officer identified who definitely tried to oppose the Nazi genocide scheme for killing the Jews and that was Kurt Gerlach, a religious Catholic who was responsible for the development of the Cyklon B (cyanide) gas that were used in the death camps. He had originally developed this method for disinfection of large quantities of materials, and was transferred to the SS as a special consultant. His case was the subject of the play "The Deputy," by Rolf Hochhuth that caused a lot of controversy when it was published in 1963, since it criticized Pope Pius XII for not taking action after Gerlach delivered a description of the extermination camps into his hands.
In the Jerusalem Post Magazine Section this Friday, March 13, is an article by their film critic Hannah Brown comparing and contrasting these recent movies, entitled "And now a few words from the Nazis". The movies are: Valkyrie, The Reader, Good, The boy in the striped pyjamas, Adam Resurrected, Spring 1941 and Defiance. The first 4 of these are seen from the point of view of a German/Nazi/SS and the last 3 are seen from the pov of a Jewish protagonist. Of course, Valkyrie being a kind of true action thriller, that must show its "hero" Klaus van Stauffenberg in a positive light, is in a sense the most dangerous, since there is no doubt that those who attempted to assassinate Hitler had been loyal SS officers and were only doing so because they regarded him as an incompetent loser (which he was). They can be regarded as super German patriots, but not good liberals who wanted the Allies to win.
The Reader is an excellent movie from the pov of drama and acting, but lacks any kind of credibility as far as I am concerned. How can we sympathize with a woman who is more ashamed of being illiterate than of killing hundreds of Jewish women? Maybe this corresponds to Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil." Spring 1941, includes an affair between a Jewish man and the German woman who hides him and his family. While situations like this might have happened during WWII, they are in particularly bad taste and really, who wants to know about them?
The least said about the three movies The boy in the striped pyjamas, Good and Adam Resurrected the better, they are all based on falsity and special pleading, having no intrinsic value or redeeming features.
Finally Defiance, which I have written about before is a true life drama seen from the pov of a Jewish partisan leader, Tuvia Bielsky, and as such is almost unique in the annals of WWII movie dramas. While it is a good movie, there is unfortunately the well-known fact that the villain is always more attractive than the hero, and this may explain the continued fascination with the Nazis, the SS and the whole WWII scenario. Maybe they are far enough away from us now for film producers and directors to begin to "humanize" them.
