I don't know if the movie will mention it or not, but IMO it doesn't detract from the story. The history of wars is replete with questionable strategic decisions based on political motives. |
Thats not correct..mainstream history is largely propoganda and their reasoning is meritorious of neanderthal-reasoning
as per testimony from his few surviving generals its clear the Nazi leaders wished for the war to end right there. As far as a strategic blunder I will agree as Britain had no intentions of such a thing esp under the war-leader Churchill.. the butcherer of the Boers.
