Outrageous Jewish Fantasy Film Reveals the Nexus of Nazi Horror
(And Consequently, Serves Up Ample Portions from the Sumptuous Buffet of Revenge)
Only Soviet Russia suffered an equal measure of destruction and the loss human potential, as did Nazi Germany in the world’s most horrific war. Nazi Germany suffered the loss over 5.5
million soldiers, millions of civilians, their industrial infrastructure and cities laid to ruin by over 1.44 million bomber sorties (combined United States Army Air Corps. and RAF raids). In fact, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, with no connection to the Nazi industrial war effort, Dresden, Germany, was obliterated by allied napalm. The British spearheaded this nighttime, nightmare bombing raid just to pay the Nazis a grim lesson for the Battle of Britain in 1940, and the continuous drone of Nazi V2 rocket bombs (buzz bombs) that terrified their public until the close of the war. And yet, there are many survivors of that terrible war, who wished that the Nazis should suffer more for their crimes against humanity.
For all of you, and your descendents, there is the extreme Jewish fantasy film, “Inglourious Basterds,” to quell your immediate hunger for the ultimate revenge for that ultimate transgression. For everyone else, well, just get over it. For any outrageous film, such as “Inglourious Basterds,” the primary ingredient for success is an outrageous director, such as Quentin Tarantino, who also pulled double duty as the film's creative force by writing the film's screenplay. For those of you who do not know of the provocative writer / director, you may need to be aware that his films can be quite shocking, and the “Basterds” is no exception.
The “BE WARNED” maxim is wholly in order on this Tarantino effort, and trust me it is not tastefully done. Consider this statement, in the film’s second chapter, by its protanganist, Lt. Aldo Raines (obviously, Tarantino’s homage to the
B war movie star, Aldo Ray, from the 1950’s / 1960’s), played by a well cast Brad Pitt in his version of a well-spoken Tennessee mountain accent, as he addresses his fresh hand picked Jewish recruits:
“We’re not here to teach the Nazi humanity. Nazi ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin’, mass murderin’ maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That’s why any and every son of a bitch wear’n a Nazi Uniform, they’re gonna die. Now I’m the direct descendent of the mountain man, Jim Bridger, and that means I got a little injun in me. And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the German, and through our cruelty, they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their friends we leave behind. And the Germans will not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the German will be sickened by us, and the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us.”
Lt. Aldo Raines giving his squad of pissed-off Jews their marching orders as to how they will deal with the Nazi.
Lt. Raines continued in an earnest and demanding voice, “When you join my command, you take on a debit. A debit that you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y’all will git me my scalps one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis. Or you will die tryin’.
Lt. Raines addressing the inglourious basterds.
Lt. Aldo Raines proved to be an outstanding motivational speaker, or he had one heck of a gang of some very motivated, and very pissed-off Jews under his able direction. After parachuting into France in 1941, with his merry band malevolent Hebrew Warriors, Lt. Raines led these inglourious basterds on a number of raids
against elements of these occupying Nazis. Suffice it to say, he was most successful in dispatching these Nazi soldiers, which led to the Lieutenant being know among these occupying forces as “Aldo the Apache.” Lt. Raines second is command, Sgt. Donny Donowitz, played by virtual unknown actor Eli Roth, and was well known among the Nazis as the “Bear Jew.”
The “Bear Jew” was well known for his infamous and fine work with a Louisville Slugger on the heads of the Nazis, who would not extend detailed information that would aid him and his fellow basterds in their continued success of their killing Nazis. On one instance, after the basterds had slaughtered all but three of a large Nazi patrol, two of the remaining Nazis were witness to an interrogation by “Aldo the Apache” of the third surviving Nazi, Sgt. Werner Rachtman. Here below is that account:
