Prior to watching "The Murderers Are among Us", I believed something: if you exaggerate, then you'll fail miserably. This movie is possibly the most exaggerated flick of all time. But, it succeeds in every respect. The movie focuses on Susanne, who has spent time in a concentration camp, returning to a bombed-out Berlin after WWII has ended. She meets Dr. Hans Mertens, who is haunted by his deeds during the war, especially since his commanding officer shows no remorse.
Given that this was Germany's first movie after WWII, it makes sense that they wanted to show that not all Germans were Nazis, and that they were apologizing for what they had done. But mind you, if you watch "The Murderers Are among Us", it will likely blow your mind, just because of how overdone it is. I guess that Germany will never be able to get over the Third Reich.
