Answer these questions about this topic: 1. How did it/will it impact the world? This movie provided a differen tlight on how things may have turned out if Hitler had been assassinated at any point during WWII before the events of the holocaust took place.

A lot of it is in either German or French so there a plenty of sub-titles which I think puts some people off due to the amount of reading.
