There is no daylight between the Nazi and the communists, both spilled rivers of blood. Both had incredibly brutal methods... just different technologically... due to, mainly, the Russia's technological backwardness, so they had to rely on manual methods.
Crap like that Come and See serve two purposes. One, of course, is boosting the local militaristic and nationalistic hysteria. And it does so well. The commies have been milking the war theme forever, and are not going to stop. Their other leg - cosmos - is gradually dying.
The second purpose is in recruiting the Western willing idiots. By promoting the evil of the Nazi they are trying to white wash their own crimes. As we see times and again, that one is also working well.
Watching that crap you will never get even the slightest idea that the soviets were just as guilty of the events depicted in the film. That part of the truth is too uncomfortable, and it is kept out.
It is known, that the history is written by the victors... and in this case we have a "victor" that is every bit as bloody, ruthless and inhumane, who... for a number of purely political considerations, is given the right to write the history. This is disgusting.
It makes me wonder - if Germany won in WW2... what would its war films look like?
Just take that piece of crap and change the uniforms?
"A Woman in Berlin" gives you some sense of what it might look like.
