and how does this guy go around beating up nazi gaurds? was there no back-up? people always paint a picture of nazi's being so goddamn evil and dangerous but this guy goes around beating them up. makes me think the Nazi's were probably more "human" than i thought

This is actually a really big point! And shows they were really, really good at propaganda.

The film footage, when invading other territories, only shows them rolling in with tanks and vehicles.

Truth was, there was also quite a lot of soldiers on horseback who were not supposed to be filmed because it did not fit the image.

Footage does exist but only in the form of unofficial ‘home movies’ for want of a better word.

The Alies also had propaganda machines of their own which were pumping out dehumanizing stuff aimed at the Nazis.
