This letter is associated with the following article:
"Valkyrie" Tom Cruise leads a cast of actors giving terrible performances in a big-budget Nazi thriller that's just following orders.
  • Stauffenberg and Scientology

    You might have mentioned that there was much opposition in Germany against Tom Cruise. People feel that a Scientologist is miscast in the role of Stauffenberg. Scientology here is perceived to be very similar to Nazism.

    It took many years for the German public to accept that Stauffenberg was a hero and not a traitor. Some people still see him as the latter. It's really too sad that the German movie industry did not see fit to make such a movie.

    By the way, Stauffenberg's family survived and one of his sons became a General in the German Army.
