  • Nightmare Fuel: What Colonel's Dorf's troops did with the bodies of Jews they killed in the Ghetto-they formed a pyramid of corpses. It was filmed and shown in movie theaters all over Poland to warn the Poles against resisting. Squick.
  • Once Original, Now Common: Nowadays most audiences know the enormity of Nazi crimes, after having watched films which get into far more detail on the Holocaust, thus the film seems like its giving a Captain Obvious Aesop while also glazing over details of the Holocaust given more coverage in other works. At the time, however, this was not as widely known to the American audiences, and it was one of the first films about the subject to reach a wide audience.
  • Squick: Most of Dorf's recollections fall into this immediately.
