I saw some of the movie reviews saying it was a hype and all that, but I was like, ok, whatever, and went ahead to watch it. It turned out to be quite impressive to say the least.

From the PBS website: He was born into a comfortable, upper middle class family and he risked it all to join the German Resistance.
