Documentary bears sometimes frustrating witness to the crimes of the Third Reich Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post May 18, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Margarete Schwarz in "Final Account."Focus Features In 2008, filmmaker Luke Holland started filming interviews with what would turn out to be hundreds of elderly Germans, described - perhaps euphemistically in some cases - as "witnesses" to the crimes of the Third Reich. Among those who appear on camera in "Final Account," Holland's last documentary before his death of cancer last year, are ordinary citizens; rank-and-file veterans of the armed forces; graduates of such Nazi youth groups as the Hitlerjugend and the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls); former members of the S.S.; and one codger still unnervingly proud to claim long-ago employment among Hitler's elite squad of personal bodyguards.
