It makes clear that claims of racial difference are bad faith and false science.
Because whatever they do against one group, they will do against everyone, in time, revoking worker rights and finding excuses for war abroad.
It's brutal in showing that their myth of superiority brought only death and burial abroad for young German men.
"Hans was left only with a small patch of Normandy, that he could call his own."
"Freedom and liberty are not just fancy words. They are a practical and priceless way of living. But we must work at it. Guard it. Or we will lose our own. America doesn't HAVE minorities. America IS minorities."
Remind them that the "Greatest Generation" were doing films about how nazis suck and fascism is unamerican.
