I am beginning to think we are dealing with a fifteen year old prankster who has seized control of the family computer while mom and dad are asleep.

Your first post contained but one barb, to wit: how could this woman fall in love with a sadistic Nazi. Well, the story is presumably based upon true events, so I guess the answer to your query is to contact her and ask her yourself, if she is still alive. Or perhaps one of her children. But that critism is not a critism of the film, assuming it simply recorded a true event, but rather a critism of her choice in lovers. That you cannot see the distinction tells me you cannot deviate from the script of your reference book "How to Sound Smart to Those Who Do Not Know You."

Which you did not substantively respond to.

Your second post, in response to Mr. Grits, contained your second barb, to wit: They could not guess who the informant was. To which I responded that they did guess, they guessed wrong, and that their guess was reasonable in light of the information available to them, as opposed to the audience.

Again, you did not substantively respond to.

Your third post was merely anothe version of the first, to wit: the filmmakers made the SS officer too sympathetic. To which I responded that, well, how do know? Perhaps he was sympathetic. If your world view is that all Nazis are the same, all sadistic killers, and there is no room for any belief that maybe some had a glimmer of compassion, then your issue is not with the film, but rather with yourself. Perhaps you need to learn more. By the way, what did you think of Hogan's Heroes?

I, as usual, substantively address your posts, whereas you merely restate the same old statements, incapable of supporting your ideas with facts, or analysis.

And please point out the ten barbs to which you referring that I am ignoring. I count three barbs, all of which I responded to. Three more than you have. You brilliant retorts are limited to telling me to cuddle with my Adolph doll. Now I know why your wife supports you.
