YMMV / None Shall Escape

• Complete Monster: Wilhelm Grimm is introduced as a bitter, crippled German soldier returning from World War I who, disillusioned with his country, takes out his frustration by raping a college student and framing a young man who insults him for the deed. Fascinated by the blooming Nazi Party, Grimm eventually demonstrates his loyalty by selling out his own brother Karl into a concentration camp. Grimm takes Karl's son and his nephew Willie to corrupt into an extension of his legacy, and climbs the reins of the Nazi Party until he becomes Reichskommissar of western Poland, destroying thousands of lives either in the camps or in sexual slavery to "entertain" German officers. Grimm shoots rabbis, has protests mowed down with machine guns, tries to toughen up Karl by sending his girlfriend to the officers' club, and finally shoots his own nephew dead when Willie recants the Nazi ideology in disgust. Those who have survived Grimm's tortures paint him as a monster who chose the path he walked down out of pride, and he ends the film as a perfect study of a man's evolution into the quintessential Nazi.
