Review of Uprising

Uprising (2001 TV Movie)
7/10
So much right, but so much wrong.
22 December 2017
This rates 7 for addressing the issue of Poles, Jewish councils and police who were complicit in these horrors. It's perhaps not in it's scope to mention the Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian & Ukrainian Einsatzgruppen responsible for so many atrocities, or even the mob violence that happened in many of these areas. It's always best to blame the SS, even the Germans do. But then it gets into fantasy land, they all look like Israeli freedom fighters, their armbands are the flag of Israel not the hated star of David imposed by the Nazis. It also fails to relate the importance of the Russian army proximity, and the Free Polish government in England. Any Polish risings were doomed as the Russians would not fight someone else's war.
