I plan to watch this movie although a offspring of Polish immigrants who lived through WW2, I wish hollywood would reconize that it wasn’t just the Jews who were butchered and it wasn’t just the nazi’s who were doing the killing........

the Russians were just as guilty—
The Katyn massacre

I totally agree. Both sides committed savage atrocities. When the Soviets invaded Germany in 1945, practically every single female, no matter what age, was raped. And of course the Soviet slaughter of Polish officers in the Katyn forest was a hideous atrocity. The sheer level of slaughter and brutality on the Eastern Front defies imagination. Even the enormous scale of the titanic battles fought there defies western sensibilities. For example, more people died in the Battle of Stalingrad then the sum total of all U.S. military fatalities from The Revolutionary War to Iraq. The military and civilian losses on the Eastern Front as well as the butchery exhibited by both sides was simply staggering.
