Not taking anything away from her enthusiasm for life and liberty. I just read that she left Germany as early as 1930 and was a US citizen by 1937 so it it seemed a bit safer distance. I would give both high marks (pardon the pun). I don't profess to know as much about her however.
I am just more intrigued with military history than Hollywood. It is always entertaining to see a movie that portrays the heros and scoundrels of war as well as the the awesome machinery. Personal drama is fine, but I also enjoy the technical aspects and I used to build models of all of the old planes and tanks, etc. when I was much younger. I can't imagine having to deal with the social struggle there at the time or the horror of the reality.

Yes it is correct that she lived in the USA, BUT the Nazi regime did all it COULD to lure her back.
She did not only not, but fight against them.
She was considered as a deserter.
Still is.
Hitler came to power in the 1932/3īs, as you know.
Well for me the human side is far more important.
As a kid I also build some models, but that fade quickly away...
