Today in class some of us were talking about how we never really get to see movies or read books from the German perspective of World War I and World War II. In every movie or book that I have ever encountered, the Germans are always portrayed in a very negative light. Naturally, anything that has been written or created by an American or a British person would portray the Nazis and the Germans in the trenches as monsters because of all the horrible things they have done. And yes, the holocaust was a travesty and the acts performed were horrific. But for once I would like to see a movie or read a book from the perspective of a German. I think it would be interesting to see their view on the war because it would be so different from the opinion I have formed. Obviously, the Germans had something to be angry about when they were forced to comply with the many demands of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was not in a position in which they could pay for all the damage they caused. It always makes me wonder if the treaty had been a little more lax, would the Second World War have even occurred? I would really like to learn about how the Germans felt at this time. They actually lost the most men during the war. Their population was devastated just as much as England and France. Surviving German soldiers were probably just as deeply affected by the war as the allied soldiers. I think it would be interesting to read something about that.
