An article on the subject (albeit from a sympathetic perspective):
Angelino97 answered it better than I could ever do - but some ideologues never learn. Some are even proud of it. Very depressing🙁
Oh yes, such occurrences happen here all the time /s
BTW, that film is Dutch, not German. Thank God.
What’s funny is that the Dutch filmmaker wrote it about a German:
“The film concerns a deranged German surgeon who kidnaps three tourists and conjoins them surgically…”

Yes, obviously, as Germany was traditionally the setting of Gothic horror novels, such as Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Maybe the author was just doffing his hat to this tradition, or he was critical of the censorship of horror films in Germany, or whatever.
I have never seen this film, however, and I definitely wouldn’t want to 😱
Don’t watch it. It is far more revolting and disgusting than scary.
Thank you very much for warning me. I could imagine all too well what you said.
Furthermore, I am generally not a great horror films person 😀
Humans in general are capable of fanaticism and unimaginable atrocities. It's hard to think of a nationality that hasn't succumbed at some point. But if one is of a certain age, Germany committing national suicide following a homicidal maniac is hard to forget.
Yes, of course. But the national suicide over here has been decided by our power elites - we ordinary citizens would have loved to live on.
They believe that eliminating us all would redress the horrors of the Nazi past, as if a single one of the millions of murdered people could be brought back from the dead.
Of course, they themselves would be exempted, so would all of those who collaborated with the Nazi regime and happened not to be German. My question concerning the last sentence would be, on which grounds these two groups of people would be getting a pass.
I once asked this question to a journalist poison pen. Dead silence.
You could almost write a satire about this.
