Help with Title?

I’m looking for an older movie that I saw when I was really little. I am assuming it was made in the 80’s or 90’s. It was a film about the Holocaust/WWII. It was about a family that took in and/or befriended a young Nazi soldier. At the end of the movie he was supposed to shoot the grandfather/father of the family, but tells him to “fall down” before he shoots him. He didn’t really shoot him but the little girl yells how she hates him. Then at the end of the movie it shows the soldier dead from battle. Does anyone remember this film? Also, there was something about a wooden horse or family heirloom that was hidden of what looked like a carousel horse. This is driving me crazy and I was hoping someone could help! Thanks!

Post-WWII documentaries on Nazi flight

I'm on the look-out for good documentaries that provide details about how Nazis fled Germany post WWII.

I am not geographically fixated (i.e. Norway/Denmark, Austria/Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Argentina/Paraguay/Chile, etc.) but the best-case scenario would be work that connects some of the dots, i.e. starts in Germany and traces potential ratlines out.

Content-wise, again, not fixated; interested in finance, personal histories of well known Nazi officials, smuggler rings, the role of the Catholic Church, interaction with local population, means of transportation, establishment of a Fourth Reich, development of nuclear material, etc. The more well-researched/academic, the better.

Thanks in advance for any pointer!

wanted: title wwII era movie

saw this film many years ago - trying to remember sufficient details in order to describe. Setting occupied Europe, various characters (both collaborators and Resistance) during war time. Ironic ending has various characters having war time knowledge about the other. It was a pretty good movie. May have been subtitled, I just don't recall.

I love obscure wwii movies

Dutch, Polish, Russian, the more subtitles the better. I hate 60s war movies because the women always look 60s with big bouffants and it makes nuts. I realize this is a totally useless post.

How to Watch Das Boot with my Family

I'm sorry if I don't use the right format or something, I'm new to Reddit... I saw Das Boot around a year ago and it is probably my current favorite movie. I want to show my family the movie, but I know there are several scenes with sexual references, and I know my parents hate that kind of stuff in movies. Should I just show them the entire movie or skip through the sexual scenes?

Any WWII movies about the pilots and the Air Force?

I have watched countless films about WWII, may it be the European or Pacific Theater, but have yet to find anything on the airmen and their stories.

Can anybody recommend a good movie?
