So, they mentioned Hitler, Austria, Nazis a lot...

Inappropriate comment.

This movie is based on a true story that involves Austrians, there is absolutely no justification to bring Germany into it. There were Nazis in Austria, Germany, Italy, and probably a host of other countries by that time.

WOW!! Miss the point much?? The movie isn't about Germany and it's Nazi scum. It's a movie about how Austria stood by and allowed the Nazi's to march in and plunder the country and massacre it's Jewish citizens. It's a movie about a woman's fight to reclaim what was taken from her family. It's a movie about how a person (Reynolds) who knows that his family was caught in the Nazi/Holocaust storm, but has no real emotional tie to it - who upon touching the name of his ancestors whose names are on the Holocaust Museum wall in Vienna changes and has a "This *beep* Just Got Real" moment. This movie is about the duos uphill (barefoot in the snow) battle, and attempting to use a technicality to bring a law suit in the United States against the Austrian's government - in a battle for Authentic Restitution. This movie didn't need to be soiled by the German Nazi scum.

This reminds me of an old joke: Austria's greatest achievement since World War 2 has been convincing the world that Mozart was Austrian and Hitler was German.
