There is absolutely nothing which is not worthy of scientific study and research. No "generally accepted but unwritten rule" forbids scientists to carry out investigations on any subject they wish. The inquisitions are over. If films on "experiments conducted on human subjects in Nazi Germany" had been shown in the 1930s, perhaps world opinion would have been strong enough to prevent the Holocaust which we now can see in films--50 years too late. The "standard of decency" in science is Truth...
...Rommel is the Desert Fox, Alex-Achmed becomes the Cairo Rat. Like Henry Faber, the Nazi spy in Follett's Eye of the Needle, Alex proves to be a demmed elusive character. With typical guile, he manages to extract the precise details of every Allied position and plan from the briefcase of an alcoholic British headquarters officer while the silly sod makes love to a kinky belly dancer named Sonja. While Sonja wriggles, Alex scribbles, relaying this trove of vital and invaluable information to Rommel from a houseboat on the Nile, using a wireless code based on Daphne...

She was the principal sponsor of the three-year extension for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. She backed efforts to expel Nazi war criminals from the U.S. and helped expose the fraud in a New York City summer food program that led to 17 convictions...
Fuller's boys manage to turn up everywhere that's anywhere in the war--we're almost surprised that they don't show up on the outskirts of Hiroshima in August, 1945--but a sequence inside a Nazi concentration camp is certainly not a Hollywood war movie cliche. And while Fuller's treatment of the episode is painfully simplistic, it is also simply painful. Hamill discovering a room of ovens filled with human skeletons, Marvin silently baring his heart to a little boy whom he has just liberated--these are moments that we have seen in other films; but Fuller...
