No, I didn't know that. But I think its quite easy to see where I got my opinions from when seeing the trailer. For one, no mention of Germany is made, and in fact the text in the trailer says "an uncomprimising look at the future", not "an uncomprimising look at a future that could have happened if the fascists won the big one".

I 've just re-watched the trailer and I have to say that if the trailer reflects the movie, the movie will be aimed squarely at the current administration.
