Summary:

We were only following orders. This remarkable film asks why Nazi soldiers agreed to do what they did, exploring how killing became a routine, how these men managed to excuse themselves, and how they were manipulated by their leaders. It's the blueprint of a genocide. We hear the killers' thoughts as they wrote them down in letters and diaries at the time, and what they said in court years later. RADICAL EVIL is marked by Oscar® - winning director Stefan Ruzowitzky's scenic transformations and DoP Benedict Neuenfel's development of a unique visual language.
