Just finished watching Conspiracy, the BBC film about the Wannsee conference, where the Nazis hammered out the Final Solution.

You know it's good acting and writing when you find yourself siding with Dr Stuckart against General Heydrich in an argument, only to realise a split-second later that what Stuckart's proposing is still the extermination of the Jews, but by sterilisation instead of mass murder.

Brilliant film.

I kept recognising the people there as murder victims from the alternate-history novel, Fatherland, which did tend to detract at times.
