premieres, parties and more. The time, place, and people in that theater would have been entirely different due to many safety, and other events going on at that time. There are many issues but I’ll name the main few, Hitler would have not been present in a room with many other leaders of the Nazi regime, especially if word of a shooting involving Americans dressed as Germans that had tickets to that movie were going to be there. There also would have been more security guards. And finally, even stated in the movie, the Americans were invading Europe, D-Day had just happened, there would not have been a party. Though highly impossible for the war to end the way the movie shown, it was a great “what if” to be able to compare to.

Some of the photos were very helpful in understanding what the reactions were of people in the photos at that time, whether it was Hitler grinning at victory (Forty, 51) or Jewish men being forced out of their homes (Forty, 51). Although, the photos and speeches helped validate parts of the films accuracy, it really he
