Valkyrie




Two thumbs up for the movie, Valkyrie. Offspring #1 and I went to see it yesterday. We both enjoy history and WWII. The movie kept our interest. I found it strange to see Hitler on screen planning troop movements, petting his dog, talking with his officers, and eating his plate of carrots and potatoes (Hitler was a vegetarian). The movie highlighted how difficult it must have been to be a loyal German in those times, knowing the world opinion of Germany and the Nazi regime, knowing the end was coming, yet trying to be a good citizen. Many were between a rock and a hard place.
