violence
Strong violence includes executions by firing squad, other cold-blooded shootings and the punishment beating of men with sticks and spades. A man is shot in the eye. The violence, which includes heavy blows being exchanged in boxing contests in which fighters use both gloves and bare fists, is accompanied by strong bloodshed.
injury detail
A man's face is heavily cut and bloodied in the aftermath of a beating in a boxing match. There is also bloody detail on dead bodies.
disturbing images
There are references to The Holocaust in images of Jewish prisoners being led into a building housing a gas chamber. In one scene, the line of Jewish prisoners is marched past gallows from which the bodies of executed inmates hang. As gas fumes rise from the top of the building, the screams of the victims are heard, but there are no visual details of their suffering. There are images of the skeletal remains of cremated prisoners lying in mass graves.
additional issues
There is moderate threat throughout. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'shit' and 'hell'. There are discriminatory remarks made by Nazi personnel about Jews and Poles. There are references to children contracting and dying of typhoid.
