Movie Reviews of The Nazi Officer's Wife
Movie Review: Gripping, but incomplete
Summary: 4 Stars
Gripping documentary--not a feature film--for viewers who have had significant life experience; it may be a bit slow for some others.
Some subsidiary facts, like that Hahn's first lover Pepi eventually did marry and did not remain a mama's boy, or that her husband Vetter believed racial-purity dogma to his dying day, are left out. These must be gleaned from the Internet. It is a disappointment that no extras are offered.
Otherwise, an extremely worthwhile film that reminds us again how many amazing stories resulted from the combination of Hitler's insanity and the German psyche.
Summary of The Nazi Officer's Wife
The most melodramatic Hollywood screenwriter could not concoct a tale as full of dramatic reversals, conflicted characters, and astounding coincidences as the story of Edith Hahn, an Austrian Jew who eluded Nazi oppression by going underground as an Aryan woman in the heart of Germany. When a Nazi factory manager named Vetter proposes to her after they've only known each other a few weeks, she confesses her true identity--and he marries her anyway. Her "U-boat" existence becomes an even more complicated masquerade when Vetter is drafted into the Nazi army and becomes an officer. The Nazi Officer's Wife lays out the story with clarity and compassion, with all its contradictions and glimpses of human goodness, in the face of monstrous evil, intact. The details of Hahn's life are simply amazing. Interviews with Hahn, her daughter, and other survivors give full dimension to the events. --Bret FetzerDocumentary DVD Video
