Looks pretty dodgy to me. Any trailer that starts out "This is NOT propaganda" is unlikely to be anything else. |

Agreed, too bad because it honestly looks like they spent a penny or two on this effort, but if the message is what I even think it could be; then it's wrong! |

It might be a decent film. I'm not going to condemn it before I see it. Looks better than some of the jingoistic nonsense (or even worse, Fury, cough cough) films we made here in the US – or just about any bit of Jingoistic nonsense out of Russia lately. |

Definitely a wait and see. |

I think the "propaganda" statement is to get around legal restrictions in some jurisdictions. |

I bought this last year on DVD as it wasn't too expensive. On the plus side the uniforms and equipment look good. On the minus side it is a blatant attempt to show the Waffen SS as just any other soldier and not at all fanatical or racist to the extent of having the lead character try to help a Jewish family. Anyone who doesn't know the history of the Leibstandarte will get a very distorted picture about it. Had they chosen a regular Wehrmacht unit it would have been more palatable. |

Hmmm, that was exactly the vibe the trailer gave me. Even the title implies that instead of being honourable, i.e. observing the rules of war (such as they are at least) I put before it loyalty, i.e. obeying my orders. Actually I've looked it up while writing this; "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" was an SS motto (that may be known to WW2 buffs, but I wasn't aware), and the phrase is banned in Germany along with lots of other Nazi stuff, so I guess that helps explain the disclaimer at the start. Presumably it can't get released in Germany under that title anyway. |
