No, it's not. But the setting being WW2 (or WW1) and his surname being Bahr does, at least on the minds of most people. And it's a shame that it does.  |
Right, and it's sad/funny also because it takes the same kind of denial that made those atrocities of the era possible in the first place. That same black and white attitudes. The same cocksure unexamined self-righteousness.
