Revisionist war films made by other countries as well depicted the Germans a "just soldiers". In the Great Escape Hannes Messemer acts quite oblivious to the Nazis, in the Battle of Neretva Hardy Krüger realizes that what the German army was doing was wrong and makes a mess of his final objective by letting the Partisans overrun him and who could forget Karl-Otto Alberty's character in Kelly's Heroes. One of the greatest German actors of all time, Curd Jürgens was very critical of the Nazis (that's why they locked him up)
