Army of Crime (2009)

What this movie is really about
11 February 2011
This movie is not very good at all. Just a generic Nazi-killing movie. A complete waste of time.

What you probably didn't even realize is, why they made this movie.

This move was made to hide the crimes of Armenian Nazi-SS groups in World War II. They made this movie to highlight that Armenians fought against Nazis, but in fact, if we want to be historically accurate, we would realize that quite a large number of Armenians participated in the Nazi SS groups. Why did they participate? Because Armenian culture is very much controlled by the Armenian Apostolic church, a usually antisemitic and anti-Islamic church (though not always but generally it is).

Consider that the director is Armenian and a few members of the cast.

This is why Armenia was regarded by the Nazis as an 'Aryan nation'. This is why Armenian newspapers during the time were cheering for Hitler (and they really really hoped that Nazi Germany would have invaded Turkey and Azerbaijan, Armenia's mortal enemies, since Nazi plans were to seize oil fields in Azerbaijan eventually, but Nazis allowed the Turks to stay neutral and went through Russia instead).

They believe so strongly in their religion as superior to others that they even fight with other Christian groups with direct violence, just to prove they are better. (Remember the incident with the Armenian priests attacking the Greek priests?)
