Powerful but I found it too nasty
19 October 2017 | by GwydionMW – See all my reviews

About death camps rather than war and takes a horribly bleak outlook. Not what that part of the war was mostly about.

I found it gratuitously nasty, because it intentionally picks on the worst aspects.

Something that is anyway perfectly well known.
