Yes, those are good observations, and I would only like to amplify one point - that of turning the Nazi into comedy characters to be ridiculed, played practical jokes on and defeated easily.That has been my long standing irritation with the American war films. I come from a very different background, where no such lighthearted treatment would ever be possible, and where you learned early on how truly anti-human the Nazi were - perhaps one of the very few truths that the society had allowed to exist and be told - to their advantage, to be sure.
Therefore my continuous disdain for many American war films, where the depth of true evil is hard to notice.
Whether I made that point before Ebert is immaterial... sufficient to say that is a correct observation.
One minor correction - Hitler invaded Russia not in winter, but in June. His plans called for the campaing be completed before the cold weather.
