...Boot is one of the highest-grossing films in German history. It provides the audience with its favorite (American) kind of entertainment, while soothing consciences about any collective guilt. These men are good; They are soldiers, not Nazis, Mostly they are dark-haired, Southern-spoken. Only one "overgrows Hitlerjugend," as the captain calls him, shows a tendency toward uniform-worship and blond Aryan arrogance. The tall, chisel-cheeked heroes of Leni Riefenstahl could never fit in the low ceilings and grime of a submarine...

There they found trenches, pillboxes, antitank ditches. They also found begrimed, bone-tired soldiers and Luftwaffe officers scrambled in irregular detachments. And they found enormous numbers of antiaircraft guns with their wicked snouts now leveled, dug-in tanks with their deadly 88s, machine guns aligned, almost tripod to tripod, to sweep the highways.
