I also can enjoy the song, if I refrain from thinking about its context. <br /><br />IIRC, at least one of the writers of <i>"Tomorrow Belongs To Me"</i> was Jewish, which would make the song an amazing display of the empathic ability to "get inside the head" of an enemy, to recognize how he feels and thinks.<br /><br />However, I've also read that the real Nazis likely would have considered that song too soft, if it had existed at that time, despite its obvious German patriotism.Ivory Bill Woodpeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318699512583970467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58554778341347964692015-08-03T02:08:34.492-05:002015-08-03T02:08:34.492-05:00I probably should be ashamed of this, but I find t...I probably should be ashamed of this, but I find that "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" clip very moving, incredibly powerful. I know the hate, the paranoia, the meanness, the insanity that's under the surface, but at the same time I see people who have been beaten down who were hopeless, and who now are seeing hope again. My first tour in Germany, I worked with a German civilian employee who had been lucky; he was assigned to the occupation forces in Norway and through some oversight never got sent to the Eastern Front. He said one day that Hitler had fooled them, had taken advantage of their youthful idealism. I see that in the blond kid singing, just as I can imagine him forcing prisoners to dig a mass grave for themselves and then shooting them. I keep meaning to watch the whole movie, but can never get started on it. I guess the difference between him and our right wing is that, at least at this point, he's displaying some heartfelt joy. I never see that from any current American right winger.Procopiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554355440319405363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-48722567875727037832015-08-02T18:28:38.834-05:002015-08-02T18:28:38.834-05:00Thanks for thinking of me, Chan Kobun.
