Manchildren watch things like Jurassic Park and capeshit

The great escape is basically the Avengers Endgame of its day

They should've called it "The Great Failure" because so few of them managed to actually escape. Bronson got out I think that's all I remember.

The holocaust isn't really mentioned at all in The Great Escape. It's mostly about the WWII POW experience

Hell, it even has a sympathetic nazi. And the nazis are portrayed as human and not just simply monsters. The one incompetent nazi guard character inspired a Hogans Heroes character

The characters are just as stereotypical as any superhero cast

They aren’t Nazis they are luftwaffe, this is just Cold War propaganda to convince the audience the Germans such as in West Germany aren’t so bad. “Good wehrmacht myth” and all that was politically convenient

Actually it was common to portray Wehrmacht officers in a sympathic light in Post-WWII films to contrast between the actual SS. Since you know, people remembered the war in collective memory and it hadn't become all legends and demons

They were just men, following the orders of their nation
