I think that it does humanize them by showing that both sides are dehumanized by war. Showing the Americans burning the Germans alive and shooting them when they have surrendered is just as graphic as the final holdout scenes where many Americans are killed. I disagree.

Not all Germans were supportive of the Nazis or their cause. Many Germans fought for their country and for their people. Remember that Germany had just come out of a disastrous depression, and the war industry propelled them back to wealth. The same thing happened for the Americans. In fact, many of the Germans in the army didn't specifically support Hitler, despite being forced to take an oath for him. Besides, I think that this movie is unique and interesting because soldiers on both sides are so palpable, whether because of the graphic nature of their deaths or because of their obvious fear, they are certainly identifiable as humans.

If you were there in World War II, these guys would seem evil to you. Because they've been trained to see you as the enemy and kill you! He doesn't.

You see, it was a publicity stunt because the mother had lost all her children, so they wanted to keep the other one alive in a way of making the war (and thus the government) poor popular with the people.
