This scene outraged me so. Guess where Eichman is now, not in heaven. Treating a sweet elderly gentleman so cruelly.

Ended up as cremated fish food, after he was hung. Suitable end to a rotten bastard.

"I am now referring to the evacuation of the Jews, to the extermination of the Jewish people. This is something that is easily said: "The Jewish people will be exterminated," says every Party member, "this is very obvious, it is in our program -- elimination of the Jews, extermination, will do." And then they turn up, the brave 80 million Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. It is of course obvious that the others are pigs, but this particular one is a splendid Jew." Himmler, 10/04/1943

"Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to death interests me only in so far as we need them as slaves for our culture; otherwise, it is of no interest to me. Whether 10,000 Russian females fall down from exhaustion while digging an anti-tank ditch interests me only in so far as the anti-tank ditch for Germany is finished." October 4, 1943, Posen speech

Talk about a race of supermen, it takes so much courage to attack the elderly, infirm, women, and children. This may be a movie but it is an accurate representation of the cruelty and hypocrisy of the Nazis. As Himmler said, (cont.)

@TRUMPER007 Yes you are correct and I dont understand why they made this obvious mistake.

We as an intelligent species and the most dominating one on this planet have still not learned that we may be of different color and religions but are still one species. AND that will be our downfall. After all these years, Hitler's last defiant scream to the world still lives. As long as one white Anglo-Saxon Aryan lives...the ideals of National Socialism will live on. He has proven to be right.

This is one of the scenes that made me sick to my stomach. I had to go back and watch Winds of War to see Dr. Jastrow in Sienna. I couldn't stand listening to him calling himself an old bag of Jewish filth -- kept screaming at the tv, No, you're Doctor Aaron Jastrow, world renown, highly respected author, a man of great intelligence and compassion! I loved him. If he'd been one of my college professors, Dr. Jastrow would no doubt have been my favorite.

"We are living once more in an age of economic desperation, fear, scapegoating and mindless hatred"

Especially when different people are mixed together. A multicultural society is like a time bomb just ready to go off.
