Nice Nazi


Any other films that have nice Nazi characters like Muntze in this film?

On top of my head I can think of:
Valkyrie
The Pianist


Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down and a Wagging Finger of Shame

The desert fox, A bridge too far, Night of the generals, The young lions, Cross of iron, The Odessa File, Fatherland... though there's often doubt whether a 'nice' German soldier/police officer is a Nazi at all

The Life and Death of Col Blimp has a super nice German soldier. Not technically nazi but it created quite a storm in UK as it was released during WWII

Kelly's Heroes has a cool guy nazi too

The first time I saw this film I was a bit bothered by the depiction of a "nice Nazi," which is strange because Valkyrie didn't bother me. I felt as if it was a bit inappropriate, since Nazis are traditionally depicted as evil without exception. But realistically there had to be many people who were good but donned the Nazi uniform against their will simply in order to survive. This film is long overdue for a second viewing.

Have seen Valkyrie several times and love it! This movie blends perfectly for me with another one a couple of nights ago https://moviechat.org/tt0119783/Night-Falls-on-Manhattan. Movies like this realistically get into those grey areas of life which are rife with dilemmas, dark nights of the soul.

The late Pope who was German might have been forced to join as a teen. There are rumors he was.
